Photoshoot Monday went REALLY well.

March 12, 2012

See? OMG, I really think this should be Lianne’s linkedin profile photo. She’s hoping to land a gig in the travel industry. This is so going to get her that dream job. Although, there is always this one…

Phew!

March 10, 2012

I had a busy and full day of camera phone activities. First, I did a pile of chores, including changing the bed. That pillow is going to feel pretty terrific when I rest my head on it tonight. Fresh sheets are one of the best things ever. Did you know that Oprah has her sheets [...]

The colour of forgiveness

March 8, 2012

The monthly meeting of Quilting Bee was outstanding tonight. I learned that orange is the colour of forgiveness. Every single day I learn something new. We have a mug rug (bigger than a coaster, but smaller than a placemat) swap coming up, so I need to get cracking on mine. We’ll be trading with the [...]

For fun!

March 7, 2012

Today we had a package waiting for us from The Netherlands. The parcel was from our new-found relatives from Holland – lovely people Mike didn’t even know he was related to until about 5 years ago. We send each other Christmas cards as well. One of these days, we’ll head out on a European Adventure [...]

Tiny bubbles…

February 20, 2012

I don’t know how to write this post. I keep writing and deleting what I just finished typing. All I want to do is focus this blog post on some happy memories of my Grandma Dorothy. Her last days – actually, her last years – were mostly unpleasant and sad. We buried her ashes in [...]

“This is highly illogical.”

February 14, 2012

Yuri agreed to a photoshoot today with the crocheted Mr. Spock ears I made for him a couple weeks ago. I took photos as fast as I could in the event he changed his mind. Sadly, we were unable to convince him to cut his hair straight across his forehead and shave his eyebrows just [...]

Good morning

February 13, 2012

I was greeted by a hazy, spooky spring morning today. That big splotch was the sun peaking through the branches behind our house. I’m just surprised to wake up to any dry morning in February that I can’t stop blogging about them whenever they happen. It hasn’t felt like the temperate rain forest it really [...]

Trying out the coconut oil

February 12, 2012

I’ve been reading about the health benefits of coconut oil and gave it a try tonight with some roasted veggies. I must admit, I didn’t taste any difference. I was hoping for a coconutty taste here and there…but nothing. I guess we quietly boosted our immune system and aided our digestion tonight. These are all [...]

Now I’m up way past my bedtime

February 10, 2012

Quilting Bee was absolutely lovely tonight. Our guild members worked super hard and got many quilts finished. Here’s a fine sampling: I could look at the tops of heads and feet jutting out beneath quilts all night long. In fact, that’s more or less what we all did this evening.
