Challenged…..

Every once in a while I get the feeling that the Cosmos is speaking to me. You know, a bit of junk mail arrives just as you were thinking the same thing – take a trip, sell the house, order in. Well, yesterday I got a feed to my FB wall that read: 30 Challenges

Connected…

Yesterday I entitled my post “For Whom the Binoculars Search.” It was a post about the passing of Canadian artist Alex Colville. The title was a nod to the famous quotation from John Donne, which is underlined below No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a

For Whom the Binoculars Search

I have to acknowledge in a post the passing of a famous Canadian artist Alex Colville. I have always loved his work. His paintings belong to the school of photo-realism, I understand. Maybe that’s why I love his work so much. Although they are paintings, they look like surreal photographs that tell a story. To

Share-a-pic

I just found another photo-sharing site – imgur.com. The pictures are really funny and don’t require professional photography skills – just a sense of humour. I have tried posting in a few on-line photography collections that actually made your photographs available for sale.  Needless to say, I have not sold one of mine. Maybe this

I Scream, You Scream….

We all scream for ice cream – well maybe not these flavours. I know that I post a lot from Mental Floss – alas, I may have met my soulmate in a nerdy, mensa magazine – and my own IQ isn’t even up there with the biggies or the nerdies or something. Anyway, if they

The Brain Idles…..

I am sitting here at the kitchen table thinking. Actually I’m not really thinking productively, I’m just letting thoughts idle around in my head. Well, I am trying to come up with an idea for a blog this morning and I have had some “idea glimmers.” Can I call them that? These are the thoughts

Animated Books

OK, I didn’t get an idea for a blog today until about 5:00pm, when I decided to read what I had recommended to other bloggers, as good blog topic material and it worked!! I keyed in “video of the day” and was directed to Mashable.com – a site that I usually find very interesting. Fortunately

Food

Awww Shucks…

Or may be that should be “Awe Shucks.” Every once in a while the supermarket that we use has a special on oysters. This weekend they had Malpeque Bay oysters at the amazing price of $13.00 for 33 oysters. When you consider that oysters in a restaurant can cost as much as $3.00 or $4.00

Will that be circus with your chicken and chips?

Dinner, for us, is a kind of celebration.  It’s a time when we sit down and share the events of the day, celebrate what worked and re-examine what didn’t. It’s a time to connect with the present, relate it to the past and possibly suggest implications for the future!!  OK, it’s a little grand for
