Another catch 22 today – actually it started yesterday. Our wall phone and land line stopped working two nights ago. We suspect that it may have been the cat who ate through the electric cord that powers the phone. Years ago I opted for a plug in rather than a battery powered one because I […]
Today was one of those “insane days” where nothing made sense and I had to wonder how we, as a world, had come so far only to have learned so little, or perhaps the world is in retrograde… let me explain. 1. My daughter has finally been admitted to the teacher training course at Lakehead
The evenings are still very warm. You can leave the house with sandals, shorts, T-shirt and never have to think about a sweater or a cool breeze causing a chill. I know this will come soon enough; but I am a hot weather person, so I need to stock up!! Winter is long and cold.
On and off throughout the last 40 or 50 years Blue Mountain has been a destination for me with friends and/or family. My Grandfather actually owed a “public house” in Grey County before prohibition…so maybe for the last 100 years or so I have had connections to the area. I learned to ski there in

I couldn’t resist this sign, this time. I have taken this picture before but never had a reason to post it. Well now I can. I call it “Beer Olympics.” If McDonalds can be the official restaurant of the Olympics, than I can post beer challenges. Don’t overlook the small green circle in the distance,
Maybe the title should also read “Signs of Life.” As in vital signs – breathing, the pulse etc… I love street signs. They create interesting patterns and they make random comments on life.
