As a kid, I loved funny things – jokes, riddles, puns… the sillier the better – anything that made me laugh. I was an extremely shy child, but telling jokes was a surefire way to talk to people when I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I remember on more than one occasion holding someone or [continue reading…]
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a bird AND a plane! While this may not be the most interesting sky photo in terms of cloud formations and so on, for whatever reason it pleased me to have captured both the bird and the plane in the same frame, so I thought I’d share it for Photo Friday.

Just look at her…
she should be ashamed of herself!
tsk, tsk
absolutely disgusting, isn’t it?
Well, another Tangled Tuesday has arrived… and it appears as though I have to start off with a bit of a confession! After last week’s tangling marathon, I’m afraid that today’s post is going to be rather tame by comparison – because between losing a day to a roadwork-related headache, having a [continue reading…]
My Italian mom is a fantastic cook. No matter what or how many ingredients she may have on hand… no matter how little time or notice she may have been given… no matter if unexpected guests turn up wanting to be fed… she always, without fail, has the enviable ability to take [continue reading…]
How is your summer going so far? OK, so I know it’s not officially summer for another couple of weeks yet, but it sure seems like it to me… and I’m loving it so much that this beautiful time of year just has to be number one on my gratitude list for the week! I am enjoying living in a place where [continue reading…]
When you refer to yourself as a writer, a photographer, an artist, a creative person – do you ever feel like a fraud? Like you’re willfully labeling yourself with something that you desperately want to be true, but that may not actually apply to who you are?

Right from the day I first landed in Windsor, Ontario I suspected that the riverfront, with its nearly 5 kilometre long stretch of gorgeous parks and walking paths, would become “my” place in the city. Now, nearly three years later, those suspicions have been confirmed over and over [continue reading…]

Even though the weather has been lovely and I’ve spent quite a bit of time outside taking advantage of the sunshine, blue skies, and generally perfect temperatures, it’s still been a very productive week in my little corner of the tangling world. I’m anxious to share it all with you, so welcome to [continue reading…]

Welcome to June! Not meaning to be repetitive or anything, but once again our back yard is at the top of my gratitude list for the week. We’ve had some fun over the weekend shopping for a barbecue and also an outdoor dining set – partly in anticipation of our soon-to-arrive houseguests, but also [continue reading…]
May has come to a close, and with it another month of daily blogging with NaBloPoMo and photos with the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge. I can’t believe I’ve stuck with this whole every day thing for five months solid… I’m almost halfway through the year! I’d say that’s pretty great commitment. 🙂 [continue reading…]
I‘ve always loved monkeys. As a child I desperately wanted one as a pet, even though I was told that they were dirty and smelly and would bite. My sock monkey “Charlie” was my favourite toy, and I was devastated when he was lost in a move (though when I was a young adult my grandma [continue reading…]
I think one of the things I like – no, love! – the most about blogging is the ability for others to share their own thoughts on what I’ve written by way of the comments feature. Thinking about it, this potential for input from readers is really what keeps me coming back to blogging day after day, [continue reading…]
