…..or at least the streets. My husband and I decided to go to the Christmas market in the Distillery district yesterday. Well, for want of a parking spot the trip was lost. It was mobbed. There wasn’t parking anywhere even in the many parking lots provided. In fact there were line ups to get into […]
I am in avoidance mode. I know I need to start refining and polishing “the novel.” This is where the discipline comes in and I have always been a slacker. Fortunately NaNoWriMo has lots of lists and mentors and tons of other help to give you guidance and impetus. The problem is, you have to
For those of you who celebrate Christmas, this is an interesting pause in the “getting and spending.” Occupy the mall maybe:) Have a great day! Carol
I was concentrating so much on the novel challenge that I forgot to post for two of my favourite days. Nov 25 and Nov 30. Here is a re-post for Nov 25. Catherine Wheel Crochet Stitch as Worked November 25 is the feast of St. Catherine of Alexandria. In Christian lore, St. Catherine was martyred

Erie and Niagara Falls, respectively – have decided to do a commercial run of about 650 machines that will be available on-line
Here are a few more photos from Nuit Blanche 2012. I think that it could also be called Nuit Rouge or Nuit Bleu. It’s the lights on all night that make it. Above is Toronto’s old city hall. Below is a display in one of the windows of the AGO. I think that it speaks
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.
