    @nerys  @dentarthurdent    We spent hours watching black oystercatchers on the shore on Vancouver Island. They were fun to watch as they ran along the rocks looking for food, They are lovely and silly at the same time.

    I would love to see a Billie Doc or any Doctor for that matter. Anything to distract me from the stuff that goes on. My old Mo…[Read more]

    @janetteb  Well nothing could be nicer than to have maple syrup remind you of me. It is yummy and even here it is expensive so making our own saves a bit but is mostly fun and a way to celebrate trees and spring.

    stay safe

    @dentarthurdent    We call that “snirt”  ,  dirty snow.  Happy you didn’t get a bad storm and I hope the rest of your country does as well. We have had rain for days and our creek is high but not flooding yet. We have trumpeter swans, mallard and golden eye ducks and of course Canada geese swimming around the creek and birds are gathering nest…[Read more]

    @nerys The snow is lovely ,white and clean.It sparkles like glitter in the sun and hides all. When it melts there are a couple of weeks of brown. Muddy boring brown, yuck! It makes it so much nicer to see the greens and colours that are finally showing up.

    We have been making maple syrup for a couple weeks and are finally done. We got a couple…[Read more]

    @dentarthurdent     I have my water stored in empty soda, juice and camping jugs. Our water is from a well with a filter system so if the power is off for awhile we have to boil it for a few days so its easier to store it.

    My fingers are crossed for you!

    stay dry

    @nerys  Hello to you!  So you visited my neck of the woods eh?  We did have a lot of snow but last winter was even worse. We actually ran out of room to put it when shoveling the driveway out. We were down to the grass but then it snowed again the other day. Ah winter,we love it.

    @janetteb  It snowed on my lovely crocus but they are very har…[Read more]

    @janetteb  @dentarthurdent     Hello! Nice to see you.  I am so panicky about my favourite shows and movies that I have them on my computer and on DVDs and then I can watch whenever I want.

    I do have a tablet so I can download books from my library and I really like it. If a storm is coming I get extra books and some audio books to entertain me d…[Read more]

    @dentarthurdent  @ps1l0vey0u       I always enjoy the Christmas episodes and I like a sappy ,happy ending so this one was a good one. I loved Trev!  I would gladly watch a show about the hotel with Anita and Trev managing all the tourists and doors. Fantasy Island goes Time Hotel. I would definitely visit the Hobbit Door. My imagination is going…[Read more]

    @nerys  @blenkinsopthebrave  @janetteb     Thank you all for your congrats!  The little man is doing fine and seems contented with his life so far. The first time I met him and held him he was just too tired to open both eyes. One eye opened for a second and then…well he was sooo tired he closed it again. Life is tiring. I tell his parents to en…[Read more]

    I am bringing good news from my little corner of Whoville. Today at 6pm  we welcomed a brand new future Whovian. My son and his wife had a 7lb baby boy and we are over the moon! I am one happy Granny and I can’t wait to meet him. Babies are always good news and I just wanted to share a little ray of sunshine with all of you.

    stay happy!

    @dentarthurdent    The best thing about our winter deep freeze is the lack of bitey and stingy creatures.No sharks here but huge snapping turtles and leaches are enough to keep me out the water. Any huge mysterious splashes would send me running to my house.

    @thane16    Congrats to the Australian team and all the other countries participating and of course “Go Canada” .

I loved skating but we haven’t had a ri…[Read more]

    @mudlark    I am so sorry about your friend. It sounds like you had some good shared experiences that you will always remember.

    I love the term “crumblitude” and intend to use it! Its a great word that totally works.

    @thane16     Happy New Year!  Congrats on conducting, it sounds exciting.

    I give up on resolutions because I hate starting a new year with abject failure. It is hard to stay fit in the winter unless there is a gym or pool nearby or you like winter sports. These are a negative for me. I will admit that I am afraid of falling and hurting my leg aga…[Read more]

    @devilishrobby      Thank you for the well wishes! I am sorry that you have been facing such health problems and I really hope you start to feel better.

    I have not had a chance to watch the new series but I will as soon as I can, I am glad you liked it.

    @whisht  Thank you for another year of great music, some I had forgotten about and some that bring on the feels. I can’t wait to see what you bring to us next. Music we didn’t know we needed at just the time we need it.

    I hope the next year is all that you hope for.
