Rolling On

These wheels have clearly stopped rolling. The are resting peacefully beside a barn, in a beautiful bed of fall leaves. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is rolling on, moving forward, constantly. I feel a little like these wheels lately, kind of stuck, but also happy to be resting. Tomorrow brings a New Year, and hopefully it will bring all the best for all of you !!

Running out the door

I am running late this morning.

I didn't post yesterday, so I wanted to make sure I posted today !!

Happy Thursday : ) Oh, and I love this photo !!

Here's hoping

I could have stayed in bed all day today. Unfortunately, my head is hurting - on the verge of turning into a migraine. I hope it doesn't, as I would really like to tackle my hit list of tasks and odd-jobs today. Here's hoping.

Power Through

Today I am determined to get lots done, and have some fun along the way too !!

So far ... So good.

O Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree at my Gramma & Grampa's has been exactly the same my entire life. Same tree. Same lights. Same garland. Same decorations.

The only change is that it gets two new decorations each year, as it is tradition that we each get a new ornament at the dinner table each year.

I love this tree, and all the memories it holds.

Finally Fiddling

I have finally started to play with and fiddle around in Photoshop.

This is exciting ... and I find I can make my photos look even more amazing !!

Mooooose

I'm a moose !! And loving it  : )

Happy Birthday Mom !!!

Happy Birthday Mom !!

Above is a photo of my Mom, only 5 days old, with my Gramma : )

Below is a photo of my Mom, at 3 months, with my Grampa.

Hope you have a wonderful day Mom !! Love you



100th Post !!

I just enjoyed the most lovely bath, complete with bubbles, candles, and nice music.

I enjoyed it so much so that I have posted not one but two photos: one colour, one black & white.

Which do you like better - comment & let me know : )

Domestic Goddess

Today I am being somewhat of a domestic goddess. I have hemmed some pants for my friend, repaired a sleeping bag, sewed buttons back on a coat. I have cleaned & tidied the apartment, and am now getting ready to start baking cookies - yummmm !!

Open House

This past Saturday I helped my cousin with the Mavrags Open House and took a slew of photos. Above is one of my cousin's friends, who is stunning. I caught this candid photo of her, and it is one of my favourite photos from the day.

Lunch with the Girls

Yesterday I had lunch with the girls. It was our holiday get together, and we managed to plan 3 additional dates over the next couple months - and I have to say, I am really excited for each one of them !!

Stone Walled

Last Saturday I was in Nova Scotia. We went to the farmers markets in Halifax, and as we walked from one to the other, I saw this beautiful old stone wall. I took a ton of photos of it, and this is one of my favourites. What do you think ?

Flower Power

This is my lightening catcher. Dan tends to pack him into my suitcase or bag whenever I travel. He surprised me by showing up in my luggage this past weekend when I went to Nova Scotia. Needless to say he did quite a lot of site seeing !! Above he is laying in a bed of beautiful flower pins at the Sea Port Market on Saturday morning - fabulous market, lots of great vendors !!

Cup of Tea

A wall of tea. Makes me want to curl up with a blanket and book for the day !!

Me & Mom !

Above is a shot of Me & Mom while I was in Nova Scotia this past weekend. (I swear I am not really that much taller than her, but it sure appears that way here.) We went down to the Darthmouth Christmas Tree Lighting ... but the ceremony was long, so we wandered off to have drinks and didn't quite make it back to see the tree lighting - oops ; )

Home Again

I am home again. Back from my quick trip out east to visit Mom & Laurie !!

Had a great visit, got lots of rest, had lots of drinks, shared many laughs, and a few tears too.

Thanks for a great weekend !! xo

Slacker.

I have been a slacker lately. I am sorry.
Excuse for yesterday - woke up with migraine, went to work, went to Lu's for a sleep over.
Excuse for today - am at work now, going home to work on Mavrags stuff, and pack.

Excuse for tomorrow - flying to Nova Scotia to visit Mom !!!

I will try to post while I am out there, but it may not happen ... but I promise to make up for it when I come home next week. Have a great few days !!! xo
