The only ornament on our tree for Christmas. Here’s hoping that next year I can change it to, ‘Baby, it’s Hawaii outside!”. It really is hard to believe that another holiday season is coming to a close. Different as it was, it was something to look forward to and soon, there will be that familiar …

Just One More
It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago that I ventured outside after our first snow melt to do some much anticipated driveway walking. I remember the day vividly and I also remember how elated I felt afterward. It was the first of many revered walks thanks to my newly sutured ankle tendon which …

A Walk Down Memory Lane
Back in May, I mentioned a little bit about the European vacation that my parents and I took back in 2006 in one of my posts. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip and I was ecstatic to have taken it with two of the most important people in my life. I think I took close …

I'm starting to get a little house stir crazy! Undoubtedly, our endless rain and gloomy skies as of late are not helping the situation, but the travel bug has long since bitten me and I cannot answer its loud, commanding call. To boot, many of our TV and news ads of late are trying to …
Gold and Swarovski Memories
I used to wear a watch, I did so for years and years. I had a few different ones, but my favourite was a gold and Swarovski crystal one that my dad bought for me when we went to Switzerland as part of an almost month-long European vacation. What a special time that was! …
