Twitter, Tweets and Dandelion Seeds

I left work early today because it was such a beautiful day!! Actually, I did make an early morning meeting sponsored by our BIA on how to use Twitter to promote your business and other businesses or individuals in your circle(s), so I think that I can justify leaving an hour or two earlier at […]

A Life Without Impatience :)

This does not mean a “patient life.” This means that the ubiquitous, shade loving plant known as Impatiens, (sounds like impatience) will be few and far between for the next few years, in Toronto anyway, because of a blight, downey mildew.

Back to Reality…..

We are now back home and the vacation seems like a dream, in the face of the reality of a house not cleaned in almost three weeks. My daughter had decided to park her bike in the dining room for the week that she was here on her own and my son, who was in
