I posted this week about the ducks swimming in the cold water surrounded by ice and snow around my place. I decided to look up some facts about ducks and…here they are. By the way apparently ducks have a system with their arteries so that warm blood flows from their heart and interweaves with the [...]

Cat Paint Jobs
These pictures were forwarded to me through emails and I wanted to share them with you especially the cat lovers…and the artists.
Apparently these paint jobs can cost $15,000 each and they grow out of the colour in 3 months and some people spend $60,000. a year. Can you imagine even having that kind of money to [...]

We’re having crusted tenderloin, twice baked potatoes, green beans, peas and pearl onions in white sauce, and a salad filled with veggies.

Bourbon-Chocolate Tipsy Cake
Remember for Christmas Janet gave me a wonderful 12 month Cake Calendar? Each month has a different cake recipe. So on the weekend I made the Bourbon-Chocolate Tipsy Cake – the January cake.

“English”…”Service”… “Phone Number”… etc… etc…
I’m posting again about the problem with my cracky phone that affects my computer. I had a weekend without visiting my dear blogging friends. That was so yucky except its amazing how much I got done around here. A month ago a similar problem cleared up after I booked a service appointment. So I cancelled. [...]

Now you can’t [...]

Hissing…
If you hear some spitting (the kind of spitting sound when someone is angry) and you don’t “see” me, it probably is me you are hearing!! I’ll be sitting right here where I sit with my laptop when I blog… but I’ll be hissing….
A month ago my phone made staticy sounds periodically….mostly when I was talking to [...]
