Every once in a while I get the feeling that the Cosmos is speaking to me. You know, a bit of junk mail arrives just as you were thinking the same thing – take a trip, sell the house, order in. Well, yesterday I got a feed to my FB wall that read: 30 Challenges […]
Yesterday I entitled my post “For Whom the Binoculars Search.” It was a post about the passing of Canadian artist Alex Colville. The title was a nod to the famous quotation from John Donne, which is underlined below No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a
I have to acknowledge in a post the passing of a famous Canadian artist Alex Colville. I have always loved his work. His paintings belong to the school of photo-realism, I understand. Maybe that’s why I love his work so much. Although they are paintings, they look like surreal photographs that tell a story. To
I just found another photo-sharing site – imgur.com. The pictures are really funny and don’t require professional photography skills – just a sense of humour. I have tried posting in a few on-line photography collections that actually made your photographs available for sale. Needless to say, I have not sold one of mine. Maybe this
We all scream for ice cream – well maybe not these flavours. I know that I post a lot from Mental Floss – alas, I may have met my soulmate in a nerdy, mensa magazine – and my own IQ isn’t even up there with the biggies or the nerdies or something. Anyway, if they

Or may be that should be “Awe Shucks.” Every once in a while the supermarket that we use has a special on oysters. This weekend they had Malpeque Bay oysters at the amazing price of $13.00 for 33 oysters. When you consider that oysters in a restaurant can cost as much as $3.00 or $4.00
Dinner, for us, is a kind of celebration. It’s a time when we sit down and share the events of the day, celebrate what worked and re-examine what didn’t. It’s a time to connect with the present, relate it to the past and possibly suggest implications for the future!! OK, it’s a little grand for
My usual coffee at The Second Cup is a small Paradiso to go. I don’t like artificially flavoured coffees and I haven’t taken the time to try some of their other blends. However, I do have their holiday blend when it’s available – usually in December. Well, Caro Ness posted in a blogging group that
