Bicycle Fun

Here are a few photos from last Saturday, when we got outside to play for a little while. It was nice to enjoy the weather and have a little fun.

Berry Takes Over

I left the room for a few moments this afternoon, and when I came back I found this !!

My strawberry had started using my MacBook to search for her relatives, and even had my iPhone ready to call them up : )

Too cute !!

I think Dan may have played a role in this scenario, but I like to think she did it all by herself ... LOL

Easter Eggs

Delicious. That's really the only word you can use to describe these home made chocolate-fondant easter eggs. They are a long standing tradition in my family, and I am proud to have been helping to make them for the past few years. I am learning all the tricks & tips from my Gramma and Aunt Brenda, so that one day I can make them all by myself !!

Bitter Sweet

It seems there are a few things in my life that are bitter sweet lately ...


First of all - incase you haven't heard ... I am moving to Nova Scotia in early June !!
I am over the moon excited, but also a little sad b/c the majority of my family and friends are here in Ontario. I will miss everyone dearly, but am ready for this new adventure and exciting new chapter of my life !!


Second ... my HP LiveStrong laptop bit the bullet this week.
It was up and running on Sunday, and Monday it was toast. I am sad to see it go, it has been through so much with me, travelled so many places, and been (fairly) reliable throughout the years. But it's gone now ... and I am getting a MacBook !!! 
My Mom & Laurie are purchasing it for me, and I could not be more grateful & excited & thankful & excited ... did I mention I am excited ?? LOL 
My MacBook was ordered from Apple today, which means I should have it late next week ... in the mean time, Dan is kind enough to allow me access to his precious iMac ... so I can still be online a bit, and get used to the Macintosh ways.


Obviously this means, no photo posts for a while ... which makes me sad b/c I have been taking a lot of photos. I will save them all up though, and wildly attack you with fabulous photos and posts as soon as I get my new computer !! 


In the mean time ... I have put COMMENTING back up for all my posts ... feel free to go through and comment on all my previous posts, and let me know if there is anything you want to challenge me to find, photograph, and share !!

"I Own That"

Last night I set up my Pixar Monopoly for Lu, Dan, & I.

We had a blast, laughed a ton, and came no where near finishing the game.

It was fantastic : )

History Buff

Confession - not only did I not take this photo, I have no idea who did.

I saved it off a realastate website ...

Because it's a photo of the back stair case in my Mom & Laurie's NEW HOUSE !!!

The stairs were painted in 1945, and are each dated with the month they were painted in.

I cannot wait to see them in person : )

Feeling Blue

I made blueberry muffins for the first time this weekend.

They are super yummy. I will definitely have to add this recipe into my rotation.

Rainy Day

Yesterday was a typically Rainy Day. Played Board Games. Watched TV.

Lots of lazing around on the couch. It was lovely !!

Back to reality today.

Fresh Fruit

I love fruit. I. Love. Fruit.

I am excited for fresh fruit to start being LOCAL again !!

Home Baking

Yesterday I was fairly productive. That always makes me smile.

I baked lots of yummy things, made a big pot of chili for Dan, among other things.

And in the end, the kitchen was clean as a whistle !! That always makes me smile too.

Sugar Rush

Breakfast this morning was cinny-sugar toast - so yummy !!

A treat I have been enjoying for as long as I remember : )

The sugar rush kicked started my fairly busy day of errands & groceries, followed up with baking & cooking & cleaning & laundry !! I am happy to being crashing onto the couch now.
