here we go! after a freezing cold April with so much snow, we are finally getting going around here... well, the farmers have been going for a few days but I finally got the 'nod' to bring suppers out... as it so happened, my run took me by the cemetery this morning and I stopped...

curling…
I bought a curling broom 10 years ago... I used it once and apparently did not impress enough to warrant a second use of the broom... but the nice thing was my children could use it once a year at their annual Valentines Day Curling Bonspiel... I thought this was the final curling bonspiel I... Continue Reading →

I need to get these jerseys to him, then get something... Continue Reading →

I'm going to give you my all" the older I get the more sentimental I become... and Facebook apparently knows how to play me... like a fiddle... or... Continue Reading →

I hate green tea... it makes me sick to my stomach (which maybe could be used as a weight loss tool I suppose)... but I know it is great for you... so when a friend introduced me to the world of 'matcha' the other day, I quickly scooped up a bin at Costco and decided... Continue Reading →
