First time for everything

It took a while and Shannon was very patient with me.

Heck yeah

By in a good day, books and reading, we have fun

Nothing like a book festival to get your blood pumping. And it was an over the top, killer balloon situation to boot. Everyone wins.

Balloons

By in Art!, we have fun

There is nothing in the world that Ari loves more than balloons. Sometimes I think she would do pretty much anything for one. I have seen her at street fairs completely oblivious to the world around her while trying her best, using all of her powers of persuasion, to obtain a balloon. She also loves […]

The world according to me

By in books and reading

I love reading. I love curling up with a book and losing myself for a few hours. If I don’t read before sleeping, I feel like I don’t sleep at all. There are a few books I read over and over again and they don’t get boring. One of them is The World According to […]

Dar

By in a good day, haha

I went to see the Blue Jays play their second to last game at the Rogers Centre (formerly known as the SkyDome) on Wednesday night, and this spelling error on the Jumbotron made me laugh: Can you see it? Here it is closer: Because at a BASEBALL game it’s hard to spell BASEBALL words. Chad […]

By in a good day

Party time, excellent

By in a good day, we have fun

I went to a wedding reception with what turned out to be the best date for events. One of us socialized with co workers, one of us crawled under chairs. One of us ate 2 helpings of roast beef, one of us made the bride count how many times they could jump up and down. […]

Dishes

By in Uncategorized

I inherited my grandmother’s good china, from her first wedding (?) a while ago, and I wish I had some real use for it. I’d always been told it was “Mother’s Aynsley”, and assumed that was true, but upon unpacking it all today, out of curiosity, I realized that was incorrect. Some if it is […]

Crafty

By in Art!

I used to be obsessed on tiny beads and making stuff with wire. I have a wonderful book from Japan with patterns for all of it, but I never got very good at it. These are the only pictures that survive, although I think the actual cherry and cat are somewhere in an Altoid’s tin, […]
