We began and ended Nuit Blanche this year at the AGO – the Art Gallery of Ontario – mainly because we found a parking spot out front and decided that we needed to use a decent washroom. Funny how some basic necessities often shape the outcome of “things.” This is the AGO with the new […]
We went out for Nuit Blanche again last night. We have gone out for everyone – rain or shine err well maybe it’s glow since it started 6 or 7 years ago. Every year is different. Sometimes the locales have shifted. Definitely the Art installations have changed. The weather is important and the number of
I was just cruising FB and debating whether I would enter another blog challenge when I came across this blog post. http://reigngroup.us/26-days-of-intention-transformation-from-a-to-z/ It’s by Justice Calo Reign and he is going to do a 26 day challenge toward self improvement based on the alphabet.

More on seeing what isn’t there. Here is a picture I took this summer after some rain. It’s a spider’s web with rain drops. I think that it looks like lace with beads. My photography group, which anyone can join with any type of camera, is doing some interesting postings in black and white. I

It’s the doll-like charm hiding
I didn’t realize that this was “International Book Week,” until someone posted to my wall on FB. Actually what you are supposed to do is grab the book closest to you. Turn to page 52 and post the 5th sentence down to your status. I did this and I am not sure what it is
……..blowing. I have been reading books about journeys. I have been talking about journeys. My husband last night said that there was a walking trail along the Amalfi coast – another journey to add to my list. I get “antsy” when the seasons change. I usually turn this energy into much needed cleaning power and
…the truth. Last night my son asked if we had any cook books. I have a library’s worth of cook books!!! He needed some samples of typography and lay-out for one of his university courses. This was my shining hour – OK 5 mins. I started with – The Joy of Cooking..”This is from my
My husband just booked our daughter’s flights for Thanksgiving – only she isn’t coming home – she’s flying to Halifax. I think that she must be homesick for a place she fell in love with, even before she arrived there, three years ago to start her undergraduate degree at Dalhousie. We fell in love with
