On the International Wall

April 27, 2011

I sure hope you’ve dusted off your biggest hats, because the Royal Wedding is nearly here. With one day to spare, I have hung up the official Kate & Wills cross-stitch on our International Wall: On the left, the Bridgewater, Nova Scotia wall hanging, and on the right, a couple of small tokens from Saudi [...]

Out the bus window

April 26, 2011

I spotted this sign to God on my bus ride home today after work. Once the locals are compelled to write prayers to God on their cars, I think Canucks Fever is in full swing. Just in case you’re not a hockey fan, they’re in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, playing against [...]

The Canucks open practice – the lemonade version

October 3, 2010

Hanging it up…

May 11, 2010

Looks like my Canucks jersey will be back in the closet for another season. Those stupid Blackhawks won AGAIN. This was a repeat of last season.

I only got this far…

April 15, 2010

I decided to make this bird mobile. It’s supposed to be for a kid’s room, but, I like it. I’m not sure exactly how to get the balance right for this little project, but I’m getting way ahead of myself because I didn’t even get one bird completed. Not when the first game of the [...]

Luuuuuuuuu….

March 11, 2010

…we all hollered as he brought the Paralympic Torch down through the crowd at Robson Square to light the celebration cauldron that’s been set up beside the skating rink underground. It’s a just little cauldron. I got to the torch area where Luongo was to appear about 20 minutes before he got there. The location [...]

Watching tonight’s Canucks game

December 27, 2009

and that reminded me of a photo I took but didn’t post from the open practice we attended back in October. The guys were all intent on something the assistant coach was writing on what I can only assume was a white board with all kinds of secret strategies on it. I’m a big Kyle [...]
