My daughter is in Toronto for the week before she heads back to Thunder Bay to do her second in a series of 3 practicums for her teaching certificate. True to form, she has managed to pack out her vacation week. First, she got a job as a camp councillor for a Spring Break children’s […]
I couldn’t resist this shot. It’s the physical equivalent of all those times when you are just walking down the street and an idea hits you!! Well, I was just walking down the street when I almost bumped into this lamp in front of an antique shop. It was random and it was funny. It
I am amazed at the power and the interconnectedness (is that a word?) of networks! I now post in 5 blogging groups. I sat down today, to work out how this happened. It probably began back in 2009 or 2010 when I was thinking – I really should get my blog up again. I started

Well it’s actually white. But really, white, grey, black. These seem to be the perennial colour choices in cars these days.

I am in another mini blog challenge. It’s only a 15 day challenge and you can post everyday or just once a week. The group is more author – publisher focused so I thought that I would read a few blogs there as I posted. The one catch is, your blog has to be “new”
