NOTE TO TAPS.

Still waiting on baby.... The baby is late - must be too comfortable where it is, safe & warm in mummy's tummy. My son is now sure it's female - he said she's taking her time because she's probably changing...or can't make up her mind...LOL! They have been at the hospital since 3 AM this morning;...

THE 911 CALL - Part 1

Every call to the 911 Emergency Center is taken seriously whether it sounds authentic or not. For some reason, the Center is busier during the full moon, and this night was no exception. The call was logged in at 22:27 hours. The operator no doubt had difficulty understanding what was being yelled... Sign in to see full entry.

AND FINALLY RAIN...

It’s early AM, there is one mother of a thunderstorm going on out here, and I doubt I’ll be able to post. My satellite modem is not looking too stable. It keeps flashing off, then on, then off again. The rain pounding on the tin roof is a dull roar, and I have a big, brave pit-bull dogging every... Sign in to see full entry.

STILL WAITING.

I rarely watch it, but I do find some of the commercials on TV as interesting as the programs. While glued to the ‘boob-tube’ during the NHL series, I saw the TELUS advertisement, forcibly over and over again. It’s the one with the hippopotamus swimming around to the music of ‘Splish-splash, I was... Sign in to see full entry.

BRAIN FOOD...

The girl has known me all her life. Being a close friend of my son, she was in and out of our home on a regular basis even before attending kindergarten. She’s now a young lady nearing her 40’s, with children of her own. She had written (in French) on Facebook: “Life is like a bicycle; we have to... Sign in to see full entry.

I’ve heard it said that it’s not what happens; it’s your reaction to what happens that counts. I believe it was a statement made by Tony Robbins – remember him? A motivational speaker and author? If he had been sitting in my office yesterday and even whispered such a thing, I would have cheerfully... Sign in to see full entry.

A NEW DAY

The coffee was not quite ready, so I stepped out on the gallery to get a better view of the sun rising. It was that space of time between dark and light called dawn. I nodded good morning to my mountain and my trees, and we stood silent together, absorbed by the call of loons – that plaintiff sound... Sign in to see full entry.

UGH! AND DOUBLE UGH!

Ugh! I had one of those terrible, terrible days yesterday. Not that anything traumatic happened – in fact it was quite calm as activities go. It all boiled down to a MOOD I just couldn’t get rid of, no matter what I did, or tried to think, in an attempt to change it. The morning started out fine. I... Sign in to see full entry.

SPENDING TIME WITH WILEY & KABU.

I did it! I finally learned how to transfer pictures from my Blackberry phone to the computer. And look what I found!!! This is our own happy couple, Kabu and Wiley, celebrating their birthdays with me in Montreal. When I snapped the picture with my phone, I kept getting the message that the memory...

ON THE WAY TO STANLEY???

They did it!! The HABS are on a roll, and last night my living room was very lively with a screaming, cheering lady (me) dancing around with two very excited doggies – our way of celebrating when our team scores the goals. This is taking place in front of a huge window, but it seems the only... Sign in to see full entry.
