Chris is out of town until sometime tomorrow evening. He came home from work just before 6 p.m. and by 6:30 he was out the door ready to drive to Waterloo to help his sister and her husband move. My brother in law is allergic to dogs (even though they have one (and we’re [...]

Wordless Wednesday Aw, isn’t that a sweet picture? Ok now just to prove that I’m still a dog person, here’s a picture I took last week of my dog while we were on a hike in the park. Midnight loves sticks, but we don’t let her play with them often because they can splinter and cause big problems. [...]

Join Earlier in the week I told you that Chris and I and our dog Midnight went for a walk in Taylor Creek park here in Toronto … remember those muddy dog pictures? (you’ve got to see the pics if you haven’t already, I’ve never seen a dog that well coated in mud!) Well. this [...]

Chris and I did something different today. We went to a Progressive Rock concert at … of all places … the local Legion Hall. The bands played from 2:30 pm until about 8:30 pm … I know, very strange hours for a concert, but hey .. it was at a Royal Canadian legion [...]

LOL can you imagine having your face painted like this? I had to look twice to be sure it wasn’t a really vibrant tattoo, but I’m pretty sure it’s face paint. I’m pretty sure that if I had that much paint on my face I’d end up needing an acne treatment or something. [...]

It’s been quite cool here in Toronto all week, but I’d say that today was the coolest. It was so cold that our furnace came on for the first time this Fall. Our furnace is quite loud (and old) so when it first began rumbling at about 5 pm I wasn’t sure if it was [...]

Wow … there’s no shows on TV tonight after nine because of the Federal election debates. I say debates because I’m in Canada and most of our channels are being taken up by the American Presidential debates AND our Canadian Federal election debates. I guess we’ll probably watch some of the Canadian election debates. [...]

Yesterday I was in a daze. I didn’t sleep all night. I only fell asleep at about 7:30 in the morning when my husband was getting up to go to work and he accidentally woke me up when he was leaving for work at 9:30. I couldn’t get back to sleep at all. My [...]

Wordless Wednesday On Sunday we took our puppy for a hike in Taylor Creek Park here in Toronto. As you can see she found a wet area that was more mud than water! She was playing with another dog and they disappeared on a trail in the forest for a few minutes and when they [...]

Yesterday our neighborhood got a stark reminder as to why you should always call your gas, electric and or telephone company before you start digging in your yard … At about 11 a.m. the sound of police, fire and ambulance sirens filled the air. Chris and I went outside and we were startled to see [...]
