WHAT IT TAKES...

My Rug Rats in the Jacuzzi. Bali's eyes are red here (M'mère's photography!!) but in real life are clear blue!! I could tell by my brother’s voice he wasn’t feeling well at all. He rarely calls me at the office, so when the receptionist told me he was on the phone, I knew something was wrong. He... Sign in to see full entry.

NUMBERS? OR WORDS?

This one person who has been reading my blogs for awhile sent me an e-mail. “Have you ever thought of writing for a living? If not, you should.” he wrote. I replied with “XOXOXO…” all over the page, adding a footnote that he had made my day. I’d have reacted the same way if someone, in those good... Sign in to see full entry.

CALLING CAESAR!

( This photo is courtesy of Photobucket. I have not yet found the adaptor for my PANASONIC camera (Grrr), so am unable to show you the real Louka, but this doggie could be her twin) I think my two dogs have made a pact with the neighbour’s two dogs. It used to be that Bud and Grump-puppy would only... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SCREAM!

Last Thursday I received a few animated Halloween cards by e-mail, one of which made me jump out of my chair. The first scene finds you standing outside an old, haunted house, complete with the ragged trees and full moon partially hidden behind clouds. You walk through the creaking door to the...

HEY! YOU GOT HAIR!

It happens in every family. An event occurs, usual spontaneous, from which is born a saying; something only the people who were present at the time will understand when hearing the phrase years later. In a family as large and as close as mine, we have many of these moments; a slew of inside jokes... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE HALLOWEEN, BECAUSE ELYSE TOLD ME TO, LOL!

Something one wouldn't want to meet when on a walk in the bush. This is my friend Dawna, and her hubby. Dawna will be flying with me to Saskatoon, not in this garb, hopefully, LOL! And this is just to show Elyse that I followed directions, LOL! I think. But I do not know these fine fellows... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of the children - sugar buzz starting to take hold.My grandson N., had already removed his disguise, and the other is B, in the spiderman suit. Then a few of the adults - my daughter is the nurse, and my oldest son is the hotdog beside her. I really need to buy myself another camera. First,... Sign in to see full entry.

NURSES AND GHOSTS AND SNOW

Part of the view from my back gallery - last winter. My first call came in this morning at 6:15 AM. I had been up already for an hour or so, and was in front of the computer, by now having read Kilroy’s blog, made my comments in Facebook, and was pursuing some posts in the Blogit writer’s site. When... Sign in to see full entry.

THAT GUY, MORPHEUS

Ha! Ha! Ha! I giggled yesterday when someone who reads my blog asked me ‘Who is this guy Morpheus? Sounds quirky – handcuffing him to the bed?’ I actually considered letting her think that Morpheus was a new flame…but I decided to be wise and contribute to the interrogator’s education instead....

THE WAR ON POPPIES

It happens each year at this time; some corporate ‘so & so’ makes the idiotic decision that his/her shopping mall will no longer allow Canadian Legion members to sit there and sell poppies for the two weeks before Remembrance Day. Hey, I go out of my way to buy those lovely, red, flower pins, often... Sign in to see full entry.
