When we were out for our run this morning, cruising down Main Street, showing our Svelte bodies to the world, I was watching our shadows. I seemed to find shadows fascinating today. When I can’t sleep at night I often turn on the radio and listen to Coast to Coast AM They sometimes talk about…

Around the Bay 30K

Spring Yet?
Let me set the stage: we get an email this morning from Dale of Dale and Sheila fame. They are in South Texas. He is “complaining bitterly” about having to put up with 85 degree weather while sitting by the pool, you know the speech. I’m sure he would have cried some more but what…
Watching Paint Dry V
As you have probably guessed from the title this is Marilyn’s 5th ever Oil Painting. If you sometimes read this collection of “useless information” you already know that she did her first ever painting at an Art Class (early February) while we were at the Big O RV Park. We can blame Sheila of Brian…
WordPress FOR Dummies
I admit it, I am a slow learner. Remember, Thanks to Jason’s help I started this thing on Christmas day 2007 and have been looking for this book ever since. I had a copy in my hands back in January but there was a huge difference in the Canadian and American retail price. At this…

She’s Doing It Again!
Yes, she’s upstairs in her Craft Room painting her heart out. You know she loves painting more than she loves Red Wine. And she is doing a great job, obviously very gifted. That’s my girl!
Easter Monday in Toronto
This is a east shot down Queen Street at about 11:30 this morning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the town so quiet. Obviously a lot of people had the day off, and shopping or going out for breakfast wasn’t part of their plan. If you are here( 500 Queen St W) nip into Shanghai…
Surprise!
Meet our neighbor and good friend Sue. She celebrated her 40th birthday on February 5th. We had all tried to organize a surprise party for her before we went south in January, but we could just never get everyone together. Marilyn sat down with her a couple of weeks ago and suggested that everyone was…
