Well, the salt from the sea is washed out of our bathing suits and our tummies are returning to normal after bit if holiday ickiness…and we had a great flight back home. Doesn’t often happen (too bad) but our head purser on our WestJet return flight on Sunday flight was a chap called Patrick. First,…
Here we are in the depths of a Canadian Winter and I am fortunate to have been able to travel to the Caribbean for a warm getaway. Not something I have been able to do often I revel in the travel, new people, new lands and vistas, a new country with all the different customs…
I may have mentioned this before but I’m a huge fan of the TV program Project Runway. Two weekends ago my sister Judi Goldie and I took a trip to New York (on Amtrak not a Greyhound a la Billy Joel) and as it was her first time in the Big Apple it was ‘her’ trip…
…but I’m in Fall mode. I can’t believe I haven’t written anything since April! After my wonderful trip to California we went to St. Martin to our favorite place…for what might be the last time! We’ve been keeping our eye on the island and hope we can return in a year or so and…
My recent trip to San Francisco and stay with Nancy Robertshttp://www.machineknittingtodyefor.com/ netted me a lesson in painting knitted pieces and then two pieces for me to knit up into socks.

My last port of call was San Francisco and a few…
I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since early Summer! It’s not like I’ve been away from the computer…I’ve spent a lot of time on my laptop….teaching myself WordPress to rebuild my web sites (my former platform providers have closed shop after 20 years) and build new sites. My web builder name it Two Hats…
Who’d a thunk it. On vacation and I didn’t pack my sock knitting stuff…on purpose. First…there are too many ball of yarn to pack as I knit my socks from about a dozen different self patterning balls each. Second, thought I’d give my left thumb and wrist a rest. Anyway, I’ve got to spend time…
Well, I am, as well as everyone….(the alternative is just not an option just now….too much life to live). Anyway, August 15th found me turning 65 in another country, on one of our road trips. This one took us by WEBS in Northampton MA in the USA, an even though every CAD $ I spend…
Last year on our way down South we got stuck in horrible traffic on our way though Hagerstown MD so we deeked off the highway and found ourselves on 15 Southbound towards Gettysburg. What a find…the countryside was beautiful, even in the rain, and we drove past a corner junction in the hamlet of Lucketts…
