Garlic for what ails you….

I have a bilingual garlic keeper. OK I live in Canada, but to my knowledge I don’t think that I am required, by law, to have a garlic keeper that’s bilingual. Now maybe if I lived in Quebec, I might have to, or maybe it would be uni-lingual – French. Anyway, I have always loved […]

Little things mean a lot…

This is the title of a very old song that my mother loved. It was sung by Tessie Brewer and I think I liked it because she did. Anyway it is the theme that I am working on for the next few blogs (maybe 30). I know that the actual theme of this web blog

August is a wicked month….

I don’t usually read fiction but I read, years ago, Edna O’Brien’s “August is a Wicked Month.” As fiction goes, it was interesting and given that I read it while waiting in line to see exhibits at Expo ’67, it was time well spent. However, this August I think must take the “cup” for being

Less is more…

Three articles in a row on a similar theme usually means that someone is trying to tell me something.   First there was the book review of a new book entitled The Book of Marvels by Lorna Crozier. It’s a book of essays on household items – relating them to life. Something like… a bowl can

I have a few regrets in life and sometimes I don’t realize that I should regret something until I hear someone say, “Oh I did this or I remember that” and it wasn’t even on my radar screen.  Well it happened again this morning I was reading the “Impossible” blog and some one posted a

This is what I posted for the heading “old” in the latest photo scavenger hunt.  It’s the side

Impossible…????

OK I have decided that I want one of these T-Shirts.  You can buy them from here – http://joelrunyon.com/two3/category/good-stories Well this is just one of his blog posts – but he does do these challenges and you can write to him and maybe he’ll send you a T-shirt, if you have done something…well, impossible.

What’s a book store….?

Funny you should ask….I was in Indigo last night – my husband needed another mystery book so we combined it with a walk and I kinda “hung out”  and waited for him to get something to read.  I had my camera so I amused myself by taking pictures of the shelves where books used to

Sunday..Sunday..

I know that the song is Monday, Monday, but yesterday – Sunday was awesome – in a spiritual sense it really was a holy day.  First there was the sun – all day and the angels in the sky….. And then there was nature at her loveliest…Swan Lake, for example…. And then there was the

Who’s on board….

I posted this picture for the photography scavenger hunt heading – community. I can’t help looking at these decals when I’m behind a car or van with some in their back window.  It’s a brilliant idea to get people to spend money!! and a little akin to the ubiquitous sign “Baby on Board,” which made
