Last winter seemed to drag on and on and on and ON… and just when you thought it might finally be over, yet another cold snap or dump of snow would rear its ugly head and cause your hopeful heart to sink. The picture I chose for today’s Photo Friday [continue reading…]
Since the theme for February’s NaBloPoMo is “Make” (check out this post for more info and all the links!), I thought it would be a great time for me to review and update my (hopefully comprehensive) compilation of the leisure-time, hobby-type, [continue reading…]
I don’t know about you, but after two full weeks (now in the middle of the third) of connectivity issues at work… then having to clean up somebody else’s mess after yesterday’s thoughtless happening… followed later in the evening with me having to [continue reading…]
This has nothing to do with Tangled Tuesday, but… remember yesterday’s Snow Day? And how Peter and I worked really hard together to clear our path and the sidewalk in front of our house? And how every last muscle in our bodies aches because it was [continue reading…]
Our city got dumped on yesterday and throughout the night – not quite a record breaking snowfall, apparently, but I’m pretty sure it’s more than we’ve seen at one time since we moved to Windsor (and this is our fourth winter here). Plus there was [continue reading…]
One of the highlights of this past week was an incredibly fun evening with four friends (and thirty-some-odd strangers) at Paint Nite, where in the space of around two hours each person in the group painted, with instruction along the way, their own version of [continue reading…]
Another month of daily photos (and, with this post, daily blogging) is now DONE – I’d say I’m off to a good start for 2015! (Hey… in case you missed it, the FMS Photo A Day Challenge changed from monthly to weekly in 2015 – so if you’d like to try [continue reading…]
I struggled with finding something suitable for today’s Photo Friday challenge prompt of Paradise. Probably the closest thing to paradise I’ve ever experienced was visiting Hawaii (The Big Island as well as Kauai), but that was a long, long time ago – [continue reading…]
Whatever happened to January?! Seriously, it feels to me as though we were just celebrating the holidays (though perhaps that’s because I STILL haven’t taken down our string of greeting cards – must get on with that!)… yet here we are, already, [continue reading…]
Remember last fall when I did the 100 Happy Days Challenge, snapping and sharing daily photos of things that made me happy? When I was first introduced to the challenge I read a bit about the 100 Happy Days Foundation, and decided that once I’d finished [continue reading…]
This has been a good and productive week in my little corner of the Zentangle® world! Not only did I learn some new tangles and participate in The Diva’s Challenge, but I also (for the first time in awhile!) picked up my pens and enjoyed several hours of [continue reading…]
Learning to play the piano began for me at around age five, and I was fortunate enough to be able to carry on with formal lessons until my last year of high school. My teachers mostly focused on materials from The Royal Conservatory of Music to [continue reading…]
Peter and I spent yesterday together. We ate breakfast and visited with friends at our favourite diner. We took our books to a café and settled down at a corner table, drinks in hand, for a companionable session of quiet reading punctuated by the [continue reading…]
I‘ve been writing – in some form or another, with varying degrees of consistency – for most of my life. So that’s nothing new.
I’ve even shared my writing – with friends face-to-face, in small [continue reading…]
A few years ago a small group of friends and I used to go for regular walks on the Ganatchio Trail. It was a fun way to both get some exercise and get to know each other a little better, and I have fond memories of those friendship-building days back when [continue reading…]
I first put my bucket list in writing less than a year ago, so I was rather surprised and delighted when I looked at it today and realized that I can already cross off one item and part of another. Actually, now that I think of it, several parts of [continue reading…]
Blatantly stealing, renaming, and reviving an ever-so-fun idea from the ever-so-wonderful Becky Cochrane, who first came up with it way back in the height of our LiveJournal days (circa 2008ish)…
