Did you hear the one……

So, did you hear the one about the woman who went into the camera store and came out with a $300.00 lens cap?….Well, that really isn’t how it went…sure, we know…. Well actually I lost my lens cap….could be worse.  I know that it will surface one day, after all – A. who would steal a […]

Roses are red….

I finally found my red rose. It was hiding in the back of the garden, so I am sending it to you.  I know that you would probably want it on a Monday when things can be a little down.  I always feel that you can get through anything on a Friday, unless of course

A Cemetery without soul…..

I mean no disrespect.  I know that cemeteries have a lot of souls in them; but I was walking over to a cemetery that is close to me, to take pictures of their lovely rose gardens, only to find that they had cut back all the rose canes to the requisite 6″ – needless to say there

WOWstock!!!

I’m just back from Woodstock, which I have re-named WOWstock because of the fabulous time we had there. First the organizers of the festival are just the nicest people – friendly, helpful and appreciative!! Secondly the show has a real “down home” feel about it. It feels like a festival for fleece.  There were fleeces

99% and counting……

OK my apologies if you are that 1%, this blog maybe isn’t for you…..But if you do fall into that 1% category, I could use a small donation – a few thousand would work –  more if you are so inclined and love knitting…honest, no questions asked, just leave a comment, where you may be contacted

Six hours from home…….

Another mini challenge – this time it is to list one “thing or one person that has made a huge impact on your life”….. This took a lot of thought because a lot of events and a lot of people have influenced me through my life; however, one short very casual conversation which could be

Woodstock revisited….

I am off to Woodstock this afternoon …  That’s Woodstock ON for a fleece festival – both people and animals will be clothed – unlike the first Woodstock – well OK maybe the animals were clothed – difficult to tell, though, the people from the animals with all that long hair 🙂 Anyway, I am looking

Sacred Rides…..

I was reading today in the business section of one of our local papers about a small business that started in the 1990’s, as a provider of guided “extreme biking” vacations. Things struggled along as most of these market specific companies do…or as my husband would say – went for the lifestyle – stayed for

Sending You A Sunny Day

Hopefully the sun is shining where you are; but if it isn’t here are some blue skies for you.  The sun hasn’t shone here in Toronto in almost a week. I have been popping Vitamin D capsules and “thinking” happy thoughts to dispel the gloom. Here are the pictures taken from the Staples parking lot.  It

The Handyman Cometh….

Or at least he said that he was coming.  My husband is not “handy.” He’s better just going to work and paying the bills than attempting anything remotely “hands on.” So we have had our share of handymen over the years. Some have been disasters – out of work engineers who despise small jobs, but need
