Due to overwhelming demand

Ok, so two people asked but I'm a sucker to show off my pics. It's difficult to capture some of the beauty I saw, it was simply breathtaking. Hope you like the shots! www.picasaweb.google.com/ MarilynandSharon Sign in to see full entry.

Bonjourno !

I've just gotten back from 15 days vacation in Italy. What a hoot we had! I went with one of my oldest friends, she used to be my boss many moons ago. Our trip included 4 days in Rome, then we rented a car and spent a few days in Ravello (on the Amalfi Coast), Siena, and then my favourite city,... Sign in to see full entry.

Disappearing Act

I had the fright of my life today. My grandson who is not yet 2 was over with his Daddy today to pick me up to go shopping for a big boy bed (for the baby, not my son ) While my son was on the phone and the little one happily playing with his toys in the livingroom, I went upstairs for 90...

Green thumb, black thumb

Let me start this story by saying I love beautiful gardens. I can sit for hours and admire the handiwork of nature. What I don't love is actually digging, planting, weeding, pruning etc etc to get a nice garden. I usually have a burst of energy at the beginning of the season, rip out things I don't...

Zzzzzeeeiiiiinnnnnn

Ok, so it's hard to type a sound effect. I was trying to spell the sound of a dentist drill. You know the one, it makes your stomach flip and toes curl up. I was minding my own business eating a very healthy dinner of salad and grilled chicken last night when "crack" and into my mouth pops half a... Sign in to see full entry.

Anal Glaucoma

An employee calls her boss to say she won't be into work today, she is sick. The boss, a little ticked that she's called in sick again says "What's the matter with you?" "I have anal glaucoma" the employee replies. "Anal glaucoma, what the heck is that"says the bossman. Employee chirps back "I just... Sign in to see full entry.

Climbing up

So.......at what point does a good swift kick in the buttress help someone get out of the trench....or ravine or chasm that they've free fallen into? (bad sentence structure, but what the heck). I have many blessings in my life, many more than some, I think. I have a job that pays the bills, food on... Sign in to see full entry.

Canada's health care

I've just returned (at 11pm) from the nursing home that my Dad is in. My Mom received two calls tonight (she was out for dinner with me). She was understandably concerned and tried calling back when she returned home. The phone at the nursing hone just rang and rang. I tried calling, again it just... Sign in to see full entry.

Travellin'

My job requires me to travel from time to time and I shouldn't complain (but I will). Here I sit in a hotel in Ireland, after spending a day and night getting here and working all day on 30 minutes sleep! To say that I'm tired is not an understatement! I had one of those spaced out feelings after 30... Sign in to see full entry.
