Late night blog

We were away tonight…had dinner with friends across the river. The same people who host the annual sugar shack get-together in the spring. That seemed far away now…the snow lay thick around the sugar shack.
We had a very good supper and I’m feeling really stuffed. It started with a veggie soup, then we had beef [...]

Firefox…you got me!

It’s another snowy day even though it has ceased right now. We were meaning to go downtown today but decided against it. It’s no fun when it’s snowing like this. Yesterday was the same — on an off all the time!
Some time ago… I don’t even remember if it was here in the blog or [...]

Ice Hotel, Quebec

Today we had planned to go to the usual shopping mall in St. Foy but that didn’t happen. At first we were just going to stay at home but the day was beautiful so we decided to do something after all…get out of the house. We’ll have snow overnight so tomorrow will probably not be [...]

Test — Picasa

This is not a regular blog post.
Just wanted to see how Picasa (Google/Gmail photo albums) worked in here. Many people use Picasa as it is linked to their Google account. So far so good. You can see the snow situation today. I can’t seem to get rid of the blue border that indicates it’s a [...]

Good Friday

Well..Good Friday is almost over and it wasn’t much different than any other day.
We did some grocery shopping — everything was open as usual except the post office.
All the animals were still in the shopping center and I had hoped to get some better photos of the nice llama. He was still there but probably [...]

St. Patrick’s Day celebrated

I met this friendly llama in the shopping center today. A very proud looking animal who posed willingly for my camera.
Each week before Easter they bring a whole bunch of farm animals into this particular mall…goats, bunnies, chickens…you name it. This llama was a first, though…never saw that before.
When we were done with out [...]

The Ides of March

I’m not even sure of what the IDES of March ARE…only that someone was supposed to beware of it.. Something Shakespearean from Julius Caesar I believe. Either way it’s the 15th of March today so…I’ll beware.
Yesterday we had the roof shovelled. McDuff was a very attentive onlooker. He sat here on my desk looking out [...]

Mona’s Friday Dare

As many of you know by now, my friend Mona has this great idea…to pick some kind of theme and we all participate with photos of something in our home. This week:
«This Friday – until next! – I dare you to show me any kind of pattern that can be found in your home!»
I particularly [...]

Blogling

Today, while searching for some brushes for Photoshop, I came across this really neat storage site. There are so many of them so it really takes something extra to impress me. I have been using Photobucket ever since I started here in Multiply because it’s so handy how it copies the URL.
This place does that [...]
