This is sad but also ironical. Did the Firehall Pizza Co. serve pizzas that were too hot? This is/was a restaurant up at Blue Mountain Village. It looks like the damage to the building, though extensive, is repairable. Hopefully no one was injured. We were able to get away for a few days over the […]
One of the nice things about being a little removed from this earth is that you can identify with the unusual and the paranormal. Maybe this is why I like this picture. The photo is for the heading “shapes” in the latest scavenger hunt. One of these shapes is the moon. Now anyone who has
There is such a thing as watching too much CSI!!! Someone backed into my car the other day, while it was parked in the parking lot. I was actually amazed to find a note on my windshield with a telephone number and an apology. At first I thought that the number would be a “fake”
I couldn’t resist this sign, this time. I have taken this picture before but never had a reason to post it. Well now I can. I call it “Beer Olympics.” If McDonalds can be the official restaurant of the Olympics, than I can post beer challenges. Don’t overlook the small green circle in the distance,

The first stitch I posted a picture for was the Cloisters. I really just looked at the stitch and admired how it resembled the arch of a cloister. Here is the stitch again. I have since then done some research on cloisters to add a little more meaning to the stitch. Cloisters are essentially covered
I had said earlier that I was having trouble finding an example of the Inverted Gull stitch in life. OK, I know that I’m a little “mad” and I realize that knitting should maybe just be knitting – interesting stitches etc. It really doesn’t need to be part of any grander scheme; but I can’t
Sunday night we went to the parkette to the west of the flatiron building near St. Lawrence Market. There we came across a lovely pianist, who was very welcoming. She introduced herself to her “come by chance” audience; sat for pictures or videos and happily explained how, although she had studied music, she just made up
