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 […]
My daughter called to say that it snowed in Thunder Bay today. I have heard stories that the snow starts in mid Sept and ends in mid May, but I have always presumed that these were exaggerations. I am not sure that it actually snowed in Eqaluit today. Thunder Bay may be a micro climate
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
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

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 joined something today called – Daily Challenge. Mercury is running through my chart, so I have been looking into writing sites, because I have a strong urge to communicate and I need something to write about – why don’t I just do some cold calling?….you had to ask, didn’t you. Well Daily Challenge is
OK this week I am feeling sorry for myself, because… 1. Routine Dr’s appt on Monday. I do hate the poking and prodding; but she had a student in and so everything was done twice……I reminded myself that this is in the interest of science and medicine 🙂 2. Washing machine has broken for the
