Therapy: Indulgence or Investment?
I’ve had something on my mind for the past few months. Some of life’s difficult emotional and psychological issues had been plaguing me, possibly messing with my physical health. I was raised in the days when ‘airing one’s dirty laundry’ in public, was something that decent people just didn’t do. It...

The Honour System
The sign advertised tomatoes and vegetables and pointed down a country road. Living in this dairy state of Wisconsin I’ve yet to sink my teeth into a homegrown tomato and I begin to crave them by June of each year. Now cheese is another matter and it’s the best here! In Ontario fresh produce defines...

You say tomato, I say tomato!
He likes marmalade. The little bits of wormy-looking orange rind turn my stomach and its bitterness makes me gag. I like peanut butter. He can’t stand the smell of it and his nostrils can sense it from many meters away. He was raised in a rainy, overcrowded city. I’m from the burbs. A lover of...

Things I have learned from my puppy
Wake up every morning, stretch and then roll on your back and let someone scratch your tummy. It’s a great way to start the day! After eating, lick your lips, rub your ears and roll around for a few minutes. You’ll find this is a good way to savour the flavours and the chef will be happy to witness...

Up and down and all around!
Hello everyone! I seem to bounce in and out of Blogit on an all too infrequent basis…but I always miss you guys! My subscription here was cancelled because I forgot to update the powers-that-be after my credit card was lost and subsequently, payment wouldn’t go through. But all signed up again! I’m...

To blog or not to blog
That has been the question for me for the past little while. But more on my mind, or I should say in my heart, has been this nagging and painful homesickness that I can’t seem to shake. When we first moved to the States, we had in our minds that we’d be here a couple of years and then move back on...

Heeeeeeeeere's Hopi!
This little furball is only one of the reasons I haven't blogged lately...but the cutest reason! Hopi is my very first puppy; Steve grew up with dogs. He's 10 weeks old and a cross between a Shitzu and a Bichon and sometimes known as a Teddy Bear. He's one of the breeds touted as hypoallergenic and...

This is the way the Canadians hunt...
I was home in snowy Ontario over Easter and sure didn't see a lot of Easter bonnets! Here is a photo of my great-niece on a Canadian-style Easter Egg Hunt! The coloured eggs were awfully easy to find against the white stuff! Hope everyone had a nice weekend! For those of you in the northern areas,...

She Loves You, ya, ya, ya!
I’m glad I was around to see the first Beatles’ performance on the Ed Sullivan show! It was February, 1964 and I was 9 years old. My family watched Ed Sullivan faithfully; it was part of our Sunday ritual which began with Mass, a huge brunch and our usual dinner of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding,...

How old is too old?
Eeek!! I've been branded as 'old'! On Sunday we were at the Boston store, a department store that from time to time offers lots of bargains on clothing. The sales are truly amazing...up to 80% off! We took the escalator down to the basement and gathered up some great stuff for my stepdaughters who...
