2000th Member Cover Contest Entry

2012-02-14T10:50:00.001-06:00

Letter Writers Alliance (LWA) - 2000th Member Cover Contest
As most of you know, I love mail and although I don't write as many letters as I would like, I do try to send cards and the odd letter quite often. Which is why I found the LWA interesting and joined. Above is my entry to a recent contest they held, a collage of stamps and a cut out drawing of mine with a few extras added for good measure. It was fun putting this together. Wishing each of you good mail days ahead.
Enjoy the journey.

Wildflowers are blooming in our back yard after the much needed rain we have experienced this past week. As evident from the image above. Finished a little project this week, an iPad stand (see above), using the following tutorial. You might enjoy the following granola recipe, I sure did. I may like it best without yogurt, just dry, eaten out of hand as a snack. I do hope the weekend is most enjoyable. Enjoy the journey.

Olive Oil

2012-02-02T13:04:00.005-06:00

Don't take olive oil for granted. Read the following article. We adopt a tree from Nudo (a Christmas gift to each other), it is an amazing olive oil and a wonderful company. There are a couple of local options available to us as well, which I am looking forward to trying. Enjoy the journey.

Recent Discoveries

2012-02-02T12:16:00.003-06:00

My brother sent me some photos he recently scanned and I found a couple of me he took when I was a wee mite. I thought I would share them with you. Another image he included was taken by my cousin this past November of me and my Auntie Evelyn who recently passed away. I have fond memories of that day; I was in Canada at the time. I surprised them both by travelling up to see them at a craft show in Bruce Mines, where Auntie Evelyn was selling her gorgeous hand knit creations. It was a good day. I am going to miss that lady.
Enjoy the journey.

Lately

2012-01-25T11:36:00.003-06:00

It rained yesterday and through the night, there is even a chance of more rain today! What have you been reading lately? I would recommend either of the following: Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson (recommended to me by Kim) was both frightening and fascinating and Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout (recommended here) was both intriguing and entertaining. The past couple of weeks I have been keeping busy with a bit of knitting, sewing and project planning, among other things. Also, we have been enjoying the Australian Open tennis matches the past few evenings (streamed live, without commercials!).
Enjoy the journey.

My brother took this image in 1981 and recently sent me a digital version of it. It certainly brings to mind many memories of times spent on the farm with my twin sister and our cousins. Amazing how a photograph can transport us away in an instant. Enjoy the journey.

A path near the river - Georgetown, TX - January 2012

We received some heart breaking news this week, a dear Aunt died unexpectedly while she was in Virginia visiting family. Auntie Evelyn was an amazing lady, even at eighty-two no one was prepared to hear that she had died. I am going to miss her.

Morning sky - Gulf Shores, AL - December 2011

Child Development
by Billy Collins

As sure as prehistoric fish grew legs
and sauntered off the beaches into forests
working up some irregular verbs for their
first conversation, so three-year-old children
enter the phase of name-calling.

Every day a new one arrives and is added
to the repertoire. You Dumb Goopyhead,
You Big Sewerface, You Poop-on-the-Floor
(a kind of Navaho ring to that one)
they yell from knee level, their little mugs
flushed with challenge.
Nothing Samuel Johnson would bother tossing out
in a pub, but then the toddlers are not trying
to devastate some fatuous Enlightenment hack.

They are just tormenting their fellow squirts
or going after the attention of the giants
way up there with their cocktails and bad breath
talking baritone nonsense to other giants,
waiting to call them names after thanking
them for the lovely party and hearing the door close.

The mature save their hothead invective
for things: an errant hammer, tire chains,
or receding trains missed by seconds,
though they know in their adult hearts,
even as they threaten to banish Timmy to bed
for his appalling behavior,
that their bosses are Big Fatty Stupids,
their wives are Dopey Dopeheads
and that they themselves are Mr. Sillypants.

Christmas - A Week Away

2011-12-18T18:51:00.002-06:00

The top image was taken in Salzburg, Austria in 2007, on Boxing Day. I still marvel at the beauty of that magical place. Everyone of us has traditions we associate with Christmas and a big one for me is holiday baking. There are certain things I only make during the month of December (I did make trifle for someone's birthday this year). I make a gumdrop cookie, the recipe is from a very dear friend and is an extra special favourite. Another newer tradition is peppermint bark, not sure whether it will always be in the mix. I have tried making shortbread, but need a bit more practice. A spice cookie recipe from Mom is one I really enjoy. Hands down favourite for us is the trifle for Christmas Day. This year will be a bit different, so we are going to enjoy it after New Year's Eve dinner. I enjoyed this post about Holidays recently and thought you might too. Also, if you haven't already discovered them, a dear friend/cousin has taken some beautiful photographs, this is the link to her shop and blog. Thanks again for stopping in here. Do enjoy these magical days leading up to Christmas, I know I will be.
Enjoy the journey.

There is something magical about water and ice to me. We have had holiday music playing non-stop.

Almost A Month Away and Loss

2011-11-28T17:16:00.004-06:00

Been away for most of the month, arrived back in Texas late last night. Earlier in the month we attended a gathering of family and friends, to honour the memory a wonderful lady, my Gram. She was an amazing person and grandmother and I loved her very much, I am going to miss her terribly.
While up North, I was able to spend a bit of time with family, a visit was long over due and I squeezed in a couple of too brief visits with dear friends. Thanks for all the love, support and good thoughts sent our way, it means the world to us. The image above was taken while out on a solo hike one afternoon this month during a visit with Mom in Northern Ontario. Remember, enjoy the journey and let those you care about know it.

Greetings!
Just wanted to allay any fears, we are safe from fires here in Georgetown, Texas. There are wildfires south east and south west of us, but nothing threatening us immediately. It has been a challenging time for the state this summer and these fires have and are disastrous on so many different levels. The following is a link to the Texas Forestry Service that shows the active fires on a state map, fire activity . Thank you for the concern so many of you have shown for our well being and know that we appreciate all the love and good thoughts each of you are sending our way. We will keep you informed.

Journey Golf Course - Temecula, California - 27 August 2011

What a beautiful part of the country and this is where I played my first round of golf. I have so much to learn and many years of practice ahead of me, it was terrific learning experience. Scott is such a great teacher and so patient, offering encouragement and limited advise when needed. I took a few lessons last month before we left on holiday and am hoping to continue learning and improving over the years to come. I now have a greater respect and appreciation for this complex, infuriating, and amazing game. The golf course was picturesque, the vistas on some of the holes were gorgeous. It is an experience I will treasure. Enjoy the journey.

Twenty Years Ago

2011-08-22T21:19:00.004-05:00

Mark, Me and Jason - Bark Lake, Ontario, Canada - August 1991

Twenty years ago this month, I attended Bark Lake Outdoor Leadership Camp. I had a great time, I learned so much about myself, others and life in general. The above image is of myself with two of my camp mates, Mark on the left and Jason on the right. Jason was and is an incredible individual, he and I met and became friends at camp and have never seen each other face to face since. The great thing is, he and I have kept in touch over the years through letter writing and it is something that continues to amaze me and I look at as a true gift. These past few months we have corresponded a bit more than usual because of this milestone. It is always such a treat to find a letter in the mailbox from Jason, the familiarity of his handwriting on the envelope and then the words written or typed on the pages, they continue our ongoing conversation. Letter writing is rare these days and I myself don't write as often as I would like, letters are a captured instance in one's life. I was reminded of this when Jason sent a card last month wishing Scott and I a happy anniversary, along with a copy of a letter I had written eight years ago to tell Jason about the wedding. It was as though I was transported back in time, what a treasure, like a snapshot in words of my life at that particular moment in time.
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy the journey.

We need more but are so thankful for the down pour yesterday. This past week Scott had an unexpected break from work, so we spent some time together, what a joy it was. Today he has his first day with EA - Electronic Arts, he is pretty excited about it and I am so proud of him. Wishing each of you a wonder filled week. Enjoy the journey.

Just finished a commissioned project yesterday (image below). I made up two bags using the monk's bag pattern from The Purl Bee. It was a fun pattern to work through and the finished pieces turned out rather well. This is another version of the same pattern.
I am rather enjoying the following books, The Emperor Of All Maladies - A biography of cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee, as well as, Tender - A cook and his vegetable patch by Nigel Slater. What are you reading these days? Enjoy the journey.

The new house colour - Georgetown, Texas - June 2011

Recently, we had some work done to the exterior of the house. The siding has been painted a new colour and in addition to that, we had solar shades/screens installed on four windows on the south facing side of the house. It seems to help keep the master bed and bath from warming up so much during the afternoon. Will post some images of the front of the house once the two new vents are installed tomorrow.
Hope the weekend was fun and all the papas out of there had a fun filled father's day.

A quilt for Scott. I am currently hand stitching the binding on to it. It is another Little Bits Quilt, the first one I made can be seen here. Quilt front is navy blue with a single pieced strip consisting of the navy blue and six shades of purple. The quilt back is purple. This is the first quilt that I had machine quilted by someone else. I was able to find a local shop to do the work, Legacy Longarm Quilters, they offer classes, rentals and an array of quilting services. The quilting turned out so well and once I have the binding attached I will post some more images. The quality of the above images isn't great, they were taken with the camera on my cell phone. Enjoy the journey.

Castle Peeps Small Quilt - May 2011

Finished hand stitching the binding on the quilt this afternoon. This patchwork quilt is so colourful and cheerful. Castle Peeps refers to the name of the collection of fabrics used, designed by Lizzy House.

I wanted to share a recipe for a homemade sports drink that is very easy to make and quite tasty. The recipe is adapted from the June 2011 issue of Yoga Journal magazine.

Homemade Sports Drink

1/2 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
1 cup hot water
Juice from a quarter of a lemon (I used half a lemon)
Pinch of salt

Combine ingredients, stir and chill the drink in the refrigerator to enjoy later. Drink during or after exercise.

*Amounts are easily increased.
*I added a sprig of fresh mint to mine.

Enjoy the journey and happy weekend.

Words have been scant around here, so I thought it best to rectify that. Spring here in Texas feels more like summer, but what can you do, enjoy what we have, when we have it. That said, the gardens are all coming along nicely and as you probably noticed, there are plenty of blooms about to brighten our days.
The wildfire issue here in Texas is dire, but thankfully, for now, our area is not in any immediate danger. Our thanks go out to each and everyone of you who have expressed concern, it means the world to us that we are being thought of.
This morning I have been able to do a bit of weeding in the front beds, but most of my time has been spent cooking. I baked the beans I have been soaking for two days, now they are ready to be used in any number of dishes for the remainder of the week. Also prepared some farro (an heirloom wheat alternative to rice and pasta) to use in a fried rice dish for dinner tonight or tomorrow. I have a pot of chicken stock simmering that will be used to make a carrot coconut soup I read about on Kim's blog (so full of inspiration). We harvested radishes from our garden this week and have been enjoying them in salad and on their own, they are very tasty. I am slowly getting into the habit of using the fresh herbs we have growing in the back yard and boy are they full of flavour.
The following are a few things I have been meaning to share with you.

Kobie's new blog
Learning About Pie
Nudo - amazing olive oil from our adopted olive tree in Italy
Naturemill - our indoor composter
Tumbleweed - our outdoor composters
Sure Proof Blueberry Muffins - baked up a batch this week, yum!

Enjoy the journey!
