I’m just a little addicted…

68%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

Found this on Mona’s blog this morning and took the test. Not as bad as I thought!
We’re going downtown to do grocery shopping! Now isn’t that a real interesting piece of information?! Just felt the urge to post a blog before we go. In fact I haven’t really finished my [...]

Background

Tonight we were sitting here…talking a little about our parents. I asked Gerry which year his parents got married and he answered 1933. I said that was the same year as my Mum started working in the psychiatric hospital. She talked about that so often so I even remember the exact date. She was born [...]

The white continuity… unsullied and pure!

We have a great deal of snow, even though the levels decreased a little during that week of mild weather we had some time ago.
Today was a real pleasant day with only 7 degrees below freezing. I spent some time outside…shovelling a little off the porch…took some pictures.
Now, this evening I read my friend [...]

Home page

This is my starting page when I fire up Internet Explorer in the morning.
Haven’t had it for a very long time. I’ve found with myself that changing starting page isn’t something that I do easily. I can change anything but not that. For the longest time I had N.Y. Times. Don’t ask my why I [...]

Mona’s Friday Dare

This week’s dare from Mona is to take a photo of something you have from a foreign country. When I read that I immediately thought of this. To most of you on my list this isn’t from a foreign country it all..it’s from what you call home. When I was nine…back in 1964 the U.S.A. [...]

The idea of this week’s theme is that you look around you and snap a photo of [...]

Addiction

It’s 11 o’clock at night but we don’t go to sleep until 2 o’clock. I’m just sitting around…doing basically nothing and felt the urge to write a blog.
Have you ever felt that way… Wanting to post but not knowing what to write about?
The photo is a screen shot…literally! It’s a shot of my screen.
I was [...]

My heirlooms

My honey posted a blog today about all his heirlooms…many pieces of furniture amongst others.
I have only three and as I brought all three of them with me here it was easy to take a photo of them.
All three of them are from my maternal grandparents..nothing from my paternal. It’s a hymn book that [...]

It’s snowing

A headline like that should really draw a few readers, don’t you think?!
Today it’s «only» -15°C/5°F whereas yesterday morning when I woke up it was -30°C/-22°F! Could hardly believe my eyes when I looked at the temperature with my still sleepy eyes. It remained cold all day yesterday…and we have plenty of snow! [...]

Thank You to my Friend — The English Language

You’ve been a part of my life ever since I was five and learned to sing Tom Dooley.
For many years I believed that King Creole was one, strange word that I didn’t know what it meant.
I fell in love with you right away… I wanted to make you mine.
When I was ten [...]
