A Visit

   Please Visit my other blog to get an update.
I shall posts photos here again soon.Been in a bit of a rough patch.

HARBOUR TOUR

   During the nice days of summer we try to get out in our local area. One of our recent trips was go to downtown and theta the lake we opted for an island boat tout that lasts about an hour. It felt good to be out on the water.
   Moving along side the island shores we were struck by how high (3') the water level was. It has caused some serious damage and will continue to be an issue as rains are relentless and powerful. It is sad to see trees and BBQs bobbing in the water that once was parkland. Luckily many docks  along the coast are floating type so those with boats were able to moor them. After the tour we walked along the Queen's Quay boardwalk and again saw how high the water level is. Scary!!
Hope you like our photos.

I love the way the CN Tower appears to be part of a condo. Illusions can be fun. Of course the photo of me above was taken by Buddy who always takes pride in caring and sharing. Hope your August is a good one.

UK PRIME TIMES

It seems my photo blog from yesterday ended up on my other blog. Weird. This time I hope my photos end up here.
I begin with the selfie in the plane.

We stayed at an Airbnb near to our family. The neighbours had a lovely front garden that cheered us up on the mostly rainy, cool visit.

Our grand gals were such a hit. We love them dearly.

Two weeks of visit was too short. 
but modern tech lets us see them on screen almost daily.
We thank you for dropping by always.
Happy summer to you all.

Easter Fun

   Time seems to slip by so fast now. Easter came very late this year and outside it still looks like early March for nothing is green yet. In fact we still have moments of snow. Buddy and I decided to to decorate a bit with fresh new kitchen linens, new bath mats in all our washrooms and then add some fragrance with fresh cur carnations in our living room .


   We did"t stop there. This year we opted to make a small batch of rich dark chocolate coolies with added dark chips and they made our house feel so much cosier and festive from their delicious smell.


   We also decided we needed some colourful eggs for it to look like Easter so be bought a few white eggs, boiled them and then using vinegar, warm water and neon food colouring to create these.

And now we are happy that we made the effort for today Easter is here and we feel the joy.
Happy Easter or Happy Spring to you all.
Do share what you did for it makes Buddy smile and of course I get the joy too.

Special Times

  So much keeps happening for weeks that I am simply growing older without time to reflect on the negatives like aches or vision issues. I must say I hope I do not jinx this. 
  The holiday time gave us chances to meet up with many of our family ties and it felt great most of the time. I shall post more on my other blog as this is to be photos.
  Here is one of my gals, daughters and granddaughters, sisters, Auntie loves playing with her niece while Mom looks on happily just chilling with her youngest wh is also watching..

    On NEW Years Eve our Buddy always makes sure we get all into the moment festively. He got the hats and stuff out of storage during the day and made sure the bubbly pomegranate was chilled and toast glasses were set. This photo is from the first minutes of 2019. We played the original game of Sorry leading up to midnight to end that year.

   This year will mark our Golden Anniversary. I never dreamed I would be blessed to live this long and enjoy the journey even though it still comes with hard knocks. 
   I feel happy to have my follower friends who cheer me on. May it continue as the days move along another year of special times.

P.S.  Did you se the wolf moon on Sunday? It was too cold and cloudy here.
