A white cowboy hat

April 16, 2012

We’re a bit glum, here in Vancouver. It’s Stanley Cup Playoff time and, well, I’ll only speak for myself, but I expected the first round of hockey games to be way, more, funner. Sadly, the Canucks have lost the first three games in a row, and since it’s the best of seven games to move [...]

It’s been a pretty good few days

April 12, 2012

Let me count the ways! 1) It was Quilting Bee night tonight. 2) It was de-stash night – it’s like a garage sale, but without the cash. If you brought stuff from your quilting stash and put it into the pile, you get to take some home! SO…I brought two bags of stuff and took [...]

Faces at the zoo

April 11, 2012

Now that the “guess what?” game is over with, I think it’s only fair to show you the faces at the zoo. The elephant above has caps on his tusks because: a) They’re bionic b) It’s his internet connection. What? Elephants are smart! c) It helps with his painting technique. What? Elephants can paint! d) [...]

RAWR!

April 10, 2012

Back at the Calgary Zoo, I wondered if the lions ever go outside in wintery winter of winter in Calgary. It gets REALLY cold.

Pull my finger.

April 7, 2012

I’m not sure who this man is, but he was pointing at the Banff Springs Hotel this afternoon. Today was our road trip to Banff. It was lovely! The temperature was crisp (it felt below zero. I didn’t check the exact temperature, though.) and the views were excellent. Here’s the view from downtown Banff.

Today I learned…

April 6, 2012

Gorillas are EXACTLY like humans. I could have totally taken this series of photos on the bus! Our first day in Calgary was filled with fun, family, the zoo, and a bit of snow. I took many photos on our excursion today, but picked this series just for you! I didn’t bring my laptop with [...]

A spring in your step

April 4, 2012

First of all – thanks for your comments yesterday about what really makes you happy! FOODS seem to be a popular theme, along with pets and pals and family. I loved reading them all! I nearly forgot about the cheery blossoms at the end of Granville Street until this morning. The blossoms were out loud [...]

“Drawing Charlie Chaplin images”

April 3, 2012

I’m not sure what the display is for, but it doesn’t matter to me. It’s some kind of art display with positive messages. It was on a window on Seymour Street – right across from the BCIT downtown campus yesterday. Look at all those Post-it notes! People in Vancouver really love those things. Here’s a [...]
