In memory of Tom….. I left out details about Tom on my last blog (my daughter’s wedding blog), because if I was to include it into that one, well, it would have been that much longer of novel and I wanted to focus on the happier aspects of a wedding. Tom was the father of my new son-in MORE

Do you know your Rappie Pie? Pets des soeurs? Take the Canadian Living Quiz to find out if you're a real Canadian foodie! Sure, we're known for our igloos, eh’s and chesterfields, but Canadians have more to bring to the table – literally. We may not have the most notable culinary history, MORE

I am a nature nut, really I am....I love watching Discovery Channel and seeing/learning about all the different animal critters in this world....but one thing I am not particularly fond of is watching a skunk make it's new home under the concrete deck of our pool!  We have lived in… MORE

Happy Monday to all! Hopefully everyone was able to take advantage of the smashing good weather we had over the weekend (at least here in Ontario!), with bright sunshine and warm temps for 2 days, hubby and I tackled the remainder of our personal plot of land in getting it ready for summer use!… MORE

Is it just me? or has Line-Dancing made a come-back?  I had the pleasure of attending a wedding this past Saturday (of which this was the first one in almost 5 years!) and as a busy enough person with LIFE, WORK and FAMILY, I have not had much of an opportunity to go out and cut a rug… MORE

I finally splurged and paid for the membership, was seriously getting blue star envy! :) It may take some time for me to get used to using this blog daily (more like weekly!) as I already have a couple other blogs that I find challenging to update often!… MORE

My cooking tragedies
When I first got married many years ago, we got our first microwave and I attempted to cook carrots in a corningware dish with a glass lid...anyway, I inadertantly set the timer for 25 minutes and went out in the backyard, next thing I knew the glass lid of the corningware was a molten mass and the carrots had turned into little charcoal briquettes! My husband has never let me hear the end of that one! :)
