I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS NOVEMBER! November 07, 2021

Have I mentioned I LOVE watching TikTok? It makes me laugh and smile every time I watch. The antics grown adults can get into, some of my favorites are watching folks dance to the challenges, imitating a comic and up and coming singers.  One such comic imitation was a lady (voice of male comic) stating 'I can't believe it is November' like we don't all know each year November comes around the same time, following October.  Made me laugh because we do say some silly things sometimes and until it is...


Happy Halloween, October 31, 2021

Tonight the ghosts and goblins will be in search of the sweetest treats.  So much fun for a kid.  Be safe and look out for one another.

Canadian Thanksgiving, October 10, 2021


It is that time of year again to reflect and be thankful for all of our blessings. The little squirts picture above is my youngest grandchild Sophie and I. She is my light such a doll.

I am working on a new rug for Sophie’s playroom. Sophie’s dad is Russian and his wife, my daughter Jenna thought a rug with the Russian alphabet would be a nice thing to have to help enhance Sophie’s learning of the Russian language.
