Today’s post features something a little unusual at the top of my gratitude list – my new glasses, which I just picked up this week. I’m feeling grateful about them for a number of reasons: that the woman I dealt with at the store was very patient with [continue reading…]
I will admit right up front that my selection of picture for today’s Photo Friday challenge prompt of “Road Trip!” is very, very silly. It’s something I set up for a previous Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge (the prompt in that case was “Yellow”), and I happen [continue reading…]
Well, the month of May is now history (at least for this year!), and I’ve already moved on to snapping my daily photos for the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge in June – but this is the first opportunity I’ve had to actually share the remainder of last [continue reading…]
A very Happy Tangled Tuesday to you, Alphabet Salad readers! It’s been a fun week of creativity which included a bunch of new patterns learned, a challenge completed, AND a finished project all wrapped up, so let’s get this tangling show on the road! [continue reading…]
With somewhere around a bazillion blogs (give or take!) filling the blogosphere with words and pictures, information and instruction, observations and resources, keeping up with the many (many, many!) bloggers you’re interested in following can get [continue reading…]
I am not much of a gardener… in fact, I’m really not a gardener at all. And when it comes to yardwork… well, let’s just say that I’d rather be out with friends or sitting at my laptop. 🙂 So at the top of today’s gratitude list is whichever previous homeowner had [continue reading…]
No, it’s not quite the end of May just yet, so yes, I’m cheating a little… but I thought that since I was able to carry out my idea for the May 31 photo a day early, this would be a good opportunity for me to share the remainder of my pics for the [continue reading…]
These tower viewers on Windsor’s riverfront bring the distant Detroit skyline and surrounding areas into closer view – and the “wish you were here” notation is a message to those in distant places – so I thought this photo was a rather appropriate [continue reading…]
If we met for coffee, I’d enthusiastically tell you all about what a truly wonderful week I’ve been having – even in spite of a pesky cold that’s been nagging at both me and Peter for the past several days. (It’s really not bad at all – just annoying us both with [continue reading…]
Guess what, my friends? I am now BACK in the land of the tangling living! (Or something like that.) Well, I’m not quite back to my previous “all tangling, all the time” routine, but I’m easing my way in again, so I figured it would be acceptable to do a [continue reading…]
I used to operate under the assumption that inspiration was a random, capricious, and ultimately frustrating phenomenon beyond my control, revealing itself only when it chose to do so (often at the most inopportune times!)… and if I missed recognizing it or [continue reading…]
Peter remarked yesterday that I almost always seem to come down with something post-traveling, particularly when using some form of public transit. And it’s true! Though I was (thankfully) spared from picking up any nasty bugs the last couple of times [continue reading…]
Once upon an October day last year, two of our good friends packed up their possessions and moved into the house they’d just bought. They thought it would be just the two of them living there; however, they soon discovered that they weren’t the only [continue reading…]
My choice for today’s Photo Friday “Beach” prompt was taken in Victoria, BC when I visited last fall. The fog down at the ocean’s edge was, as they say, as thick as pea soup – so much so that the normally very prominent breakwater was [continue reading…]
I have a confession to make. While I am attached to my iPhone and have come to truly adore snapping and editing pictures with it, the idea of using a “real” camera – you know, the kind with all those bells and whistles and lenses and complicated settings and [continue reading…]
