Scarves 1, 2, 3!
You can't have too many scarves ... especially when one tends to lose them as I did with a beautiful handspun black alpaca Falling Leaves Scarf by Lucy Neatby. I'm hoping to not repeat that misadventure...
Gospel Choir Workshop coming to Saskatoon!
Featured Entry
When the two of us went to visit my sister & her husband for 5 weeks back early in 2009, she insisted we come to choir practice. They love their choir so they wanted to share that with us. Okay, so we tag along knowing of course that Lawrie has a nice voice, but mine isn't worth opening my mouth for, but humour my sister we will. Gospel choirs we have all seen and heard in any number of movies and it looks like they are having a good time, so maybe we will too.
Fall Colours
While we don't live in the eastern part of Canada where there are brilliant reds and oranges in the fall, we have, for a northern and western part of the country, had a beautiful fall. The cotoneaster...
Snafu!
[cpg_imagefix:2746] [cpg_imagefix:2731] [cpg_imagefix:2730] What a wonderful weekend we had! Despite my having a cold, we left right away after work, drove an hour and a half to Snafu Territorial...
The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food and Food Rules
Michael Pollan has a great sense of humour and knows how to ponder a problem properly ... from all sides. We mostly don't stop and think about stuff to any depth or conclusion and I think we would be the...

One final post about Down Under
One of the things that is most fun about travelling outside our own country is noticing what is different. And I don't mean the big cultural differences, just the little things. In the case of Tasmania...
Sydney, Australia (not Nova Scotia!)
While in transit to mainland Australia and our three final days 'down under', I noticed one final interesting sign here ... and I'm planning on a post about signs, so this is just a taste for now.
The final five days in Tassie
We’ve decided to revisit the town of Ross. Whilst on our cycling tour we spent about an hour there, but felt rushed so now we have an opportunity to take our time.
St. Helen’s and beyond
Bright and earlyish on Tuesday morning we caught Tassie Link (the bus) from Lake St. Clair. Destination is Launceston and hopefully by 5:45 so we can pick up our rental car. The bus ride is an all day...
The Overland Track
Lynn has the keyboard just now! This hiking trip was not about the scenery! We both thought it would be, but the weather decided otherwise. The six day walk through amazing country was a journey of...
Last day in Richmond
Okay everyone this day’s entry is going to be real short. The Cadbury Chocolate Factory costs $12.95 per person and is not worth it. The tour lasts about 30 minutes and you don’t get to see a whole...
