Today’s happiness is brought to you by a whole ton of treats! No, they’re not for me (my idea of a treat is more along the lines of a bag of chips!) – rather, they will be assembled into tiny decorative bags and distributed this coming Friday [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by a sunny Sunday afternoon with time to curl up on the couch with an assortment of creature comforts – soft blanket, a fluffy cat or two, hot cup of tea – and a book I’ve wanted to read for quite some time but never [continue reading…]

I didn’t think I had anything to share for today’s Photo Friday “Translucent” prompt, but as I scrolled through my archives I found a picture I took a short time ago which I thought would work quite well. It’s the view through a privacy window on the [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by my fluffy goofball Oscar. Before I got out of bed this morning I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and Oscar – as he usually does – was walking all over me, getting in between my face and the iPad [continue reading…]
Today has not been a happy day for Canadians. For those of you who may have missed it, there was an attack this morning at Parliament Hill in Ottawa that left two dead and several others injured, and at the time of writing the situation is ongoing and [continue reading…]

Once again I’m getting ahead of my usual Tangled Tuesday post (it’s still Monday, isn’t it?!), but things are moving along and I just have to share! Continuing on from my announcement the other day that I’d finished my tangled alphabet, [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by a delicious snack of WildFire Bakery bread, toasted and buttered and spread liberally (what can I say? I like a little bread with my jam!) with Mom’s chunky pear-ginger jam (AKA My Very Favourite Jam [continue reading…]
I almost can’t believe that this moment has actually arrived… the long-anticipated moment when I announce that I have now finished tangling the letter Z, and so today’s happiness is brought to you by a COMPLETED tangled alphabet! [continue reading…]
Yes, I’m back in Windsor… but as it turns out, today’s post is still going to be rather Victoria-centric, so please bear with me!
First, for today’s Photo Friday “Autumn Colour” prompt [continue reading…]
My time in Victoria was absolutely marvelous. I saw people I wanted to see, did things I wanted to do, ate food I wanted to eat, and went places I wanted to go. It was fun, and relaxing, and nostalgic, and eventful, and overall simply wonderful – a visit [continue reading…]
My sister and I spent part of this afternoon – my last day in Victoria – at Fisherman’s Wharf. We dined at Barb’s, enjoying some of the best fish and chips, tartar sauce, and coleslaw I’ve ever tasted… wandered around looking at the colourful floating [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by a box of freshly-made Chinese honey buns (also known as cocktail buns). This particular sweet, coconut-filled dessert is one of the treats I often enjoyed when I lived in Victoria, so when we found ourselves back [continue reading…]
