Rabbit Ears and a Maple Leaf

As we pack our bags for Lexington,KY we salute the flag before us here in Canada. It just doesn't feel the same. It's like being invited to a costume party only to find out they changed the theme and you didn't know.

4th of July in the USA.... that's more like it.
Hanging out with family, running around with sparklers until someone burns their finger, eating too much to fit into your bathing suit and dousing yourself in bug spray to watch the local firework display... that's more like it.



Just the same I've got love for ya'll in Canada...
Happy Canada Day everyone!

What are your plans for the 4th?

CSN...


a review...is coming your way!

I'll be heading to my dining room to take a seat, sip some coffee and enjoy a delicious French pastry...won't you come and sit for a while. I hate to eat alone.

Which dining room do you like best out of the three photos above?

Tuesday: The Burning Question

You and I have a standing bloggy date...
here every Tuesday for a cup of coffee and a burning question that we both answer.

Are you ready?

With questions and comments still swirling in my head I hung up the phone. Happy for the time she had taken out of her day to talk with me, my busy sister with three kids, two cats and one very large dog talked with me for.....

Who would you like to talk to for 1 hour 39 minutes and 5 seconds?

*Oh the perks of being a teacher....have a wonderful summer Mrs. V. Love ya!*


It's Up to You!

Make the decision to do something different.

See the beauty. Be in the moment. Look at it with new eyes.

A special moment can come just after a dark cloud.
(Photos taken on my hike last Saturday.Yes... I got wet, but it was worth it.)

Our bike ride

As the morning rain drifted away the sunny skies followed. Mr. and I decided to go for a bike ride and ended up along the St. Lawrence. Countless photo opportunities passed me by because of my endless peddling. Somehow my valiant effort to be athletic wasn't enough and I was slowly (key word) being stripped of all my pride as 70 p0ssibly 80 year old men were leaving me in their dust. When we did finally stop for a rest this beautiful sight was before me.

We were on the home stretch when the inner child in us stopped to play...
I let him beat me at tic-tac-toe just to make this moment last.
O.k. I lied he beat me fair and square.


What summer activities do you enjoy ?

Lake Bound...

Good-bye my dear friends.
This journey as one will strengthen the bond and build a foundation to last a lifetime.

But....why does that place have to be so far away? Sniff Sniff

Looking very hard for the bright side of this loss...
we will now have another beautiful place to visit.

Back to crying in my wine oops I mean pillow. :D
