Wool Dyeing

 
I found this yummy picture on a site about food dyed wool.  I love how every type of craft one might enjoy these days keeps broadening and its no wonder I have so much on the go (and not having time to finish) because I keep seeing  more and more out there.  No longer do you have [...]

Crazy or not…mouse or not…

I don’t know.  I wasn’t going to post about this because I don’t really think there is one…mouse I’m talking about..but since I’ve told you this much I’ll tell you about it.  Last week I was sitting on my sofa, laptop on my lap and it was getting late and just from the corner of [...]

Things Happen For a Reason…

 
This isn’t my picture but a picture that someone had forwarded to me and I wish I could give credit to that person.  I thought this picture might be appropriate in some way to my title of Things Happen for a Reason.  I wonder what the reason is that the tortoise is winning this race….hmmmmm.
 
I think [...]

Clothes Disaster!

 
I was just reminded about what happened to me yesterday when I wore a brand new pair of white capris to work.   This was the second time I’d worn the pants I bought to take away on our cruise this winter.  During lunch I went to “NoFrills” store to buy fruits/veggies…when I got back to work [...]

Time to Come Back Home… :o)

My youngest son and his girlfriend took a “little” trip to the Canadian west coast to B.C. during a late summer.  It was going to be an adventure that would last maybe 2 months…maybe 3 months and their plan was to work while they were there.  They ended up settling quite nicely into the wonderful [...]

40th Class Reunion and a Special Remembering…

On Saturday we went to Marc’s 40th class reunion.  It was wonderful watching all these classmates who hadn’t seen each other for years…15 years…25 years…40 years.  You could tell as they laughed with each other, comforted each other as they shared stories what a very close class  they  had been and still were.   Most shared stories [...]

So Many Ideas..So Little Time…

I hate the idea of going back to work on Monday…..3 weeks was not enough time…  I’m at the cottage, Marc is having his 40th class reunion this weekend. So the guys are golfing this afternoon, then we’re all going for dinner tonight. Tomorrow we will go to a wedding. 
In the meantime I am going to start [...]

hoops&yoyo in “School’s Back”

Its sooo easy to send people cards these days with all the virtual cards out there.  My eldest son sent me the “Amazing Mom” Hoops & Yoyo Mother’ Day card this year.  It just made me smile…they sang these right on the ball words.   Although he lives only 10 minutes from me and we saw each other that [...]

Soap Day Today

 
These are the Soaps Uncut 
I was thinking about differences between having full and part-time jobs.  One difference  is that I’ve been able to forget about my fulltime job while I’m on vacation and it feels like I’ve been away for months and not the 3rd week.  I’m really getting so used to this.   My home-based job [...]

A Glutten for Punishment?

A Lovely Sunset - The Sun Slides Into Lake Ontario
The View from the Cottage Looking Back Home towards Canada

                 ….. such a cool place to be on a hot night… 
Last night when it was over 90F we had 5 friends over for a lasagne dinner!  Lasagne.  Whew.  Of course at the cottage there isn’t air [...]
