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
OK, the title may be a little misleading. I was reading an article this morning about the site “Goodreads.” Apparently one of their blogposts was about books that people abandon – Fifty Shades of Grey and J. K.

My daughter headed out early this morning to meet friends for breakfast, before going to “the game.” The game, in summer, in North America, is none other than baseball!! Today, at the Skydome, they were giving out Arencibia bobble head dolls, to the – not sure of the exact number but maybe – first 10,000
