Interesting News Day

by

This seems to be a historic day in many ways. I was just watching the news and I realized that it’s the 30th anniversary of the signing of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – April, 17th, 1982. The Charter is still controversial even 30 years after it was created!

Then … there was a story about the Space Shuttle Discovery’s last trip. It flew on the back of an airplane as it was taken to Washington to be placed in the Smithsonian Museum. It’s hard to believe that there aren’t going to be any more Space Shuttles and that there doesn’t seem to be anything created to replace them as of yet. Well … maybe these galactic looking boots might do the trick? They’re called Alpinestars SMX 5 Boots and to me they look like they’d be perfect for space travel. LOL Yeah I’m just kidding but do take a look, they’re funky.

In my little world .. nothing historic going on here I’m afraid. I’m tired, I’m hungry and I have sore feet. Hmmm … what to do.





Books, Old Records and Guitar Lessons?

by

I’m still busy cleaning and de-cluttering my house. Last night my husband and I did a little bit of the work together but it wasn’t all that productive.

We started working on an area of our basement where we store things that we’ll more than likely keep .. so we didn’t end up throwing out much stuff. I’m very into throwing out a LOT of stuff from the basement these days since the basement is one big cluttered mess. We have too much stuff. I stay stuff because that’s all it is .. stuff .. stuff we haven’t used for years, stuff we can live without.

Last night we discovered a couple of boxes of books that we set aside for sorting at a later time. I really didn’t want to “sort” things last night .. plus, once I know where all the books are and I’ve decided what’s going to be kept and what’s going I’m either going to set them aside for a yard sale or take them to a store that buys used books. The other things that we actually sorted through were three or four boxes of old records. Most of them are mine. Chris only had about 10 records in all the boxes and I guess I must have about 200. Gee I wonder how much some of them will be worth if I decide to sell them?

While we were going through all those records my husband and I kept talking about how our musical tastes have always been so similar. He swore some of the records that I know were mine were his – but then he remembered that they weren’t. Chris never bought things when he was a teenager or when he was in his early 20’s … he borrowed everything and that’s why he has so few records in that pile or records downstairs. LOL Anyway as we talked about music I kept teasing him that one of the things that he’d always promised me was beginner guitar lessons but I still have no clue as to how to play the guitar. Gee .. it’s been something like 22 years – you’d think I’d be able to play something basic having lived with a musician for that long .. but nope. I think he’s afraid to teach me. I guess if I want to learn I’m going to have to teach myself or take lessons from someone else.

I wonder what gems we’ll find the next time we try sorting out the mess in the basement! To be continued …

My Christmas Dog

by

I don’t usually dress up my dog – not on holidays or at any time of year, but for some reason I saw those cute red antlers in a pet store and I decided that I wanted my Lab to have them.

So how do you like my Christmas dog?

She actually seemed to like wearing the antlers – well as long as they were behind her ears. She even picked them up and carried them around which really surprised me. I haven’t taken her out wearing them – I really only bought the antlers to take pictures of her wearing them, but maybe we’ll do a walk around the neighborhood on Christmas eve or Christmas day with the antlers on.

Trying to find something to do with my time

by

Now that the weather is getting cooler I find that I’m indoors more and I’m starting to get quite bored. It doesn’t help that my husband has been working quite a bit of extra hours lately as well which has left me home on my own. I need something to keep me busy!

I’m thinking of joining a club or two. Something to get me out once or twice a week, maybe meeting new people, keep me busy. Obviously I love gardening so joining a gardening club would be good. Of course they tend to slow down in the winter time. So … perhaps a photography club or if not a club maybe I’ll try taking a photography course.

Any suggestions?

On a slightly related note I came across a really cool site. They make personalized coins. Why I say it’s related is because if I were to join some kind of club it would be cool to have custom made coins made for the club.

We’re having a halloween party

by

It’s almost Halloween! You’d never know it on my street. Almost no one decorates their home for Halloween in my section of my street. It’s so strange.

At first, when we first moved into the area ten years ago, I thought it was because most of our immediate neighbors were elderly and they just didn’t want the bother of Halloween, but now a lot of the older neighbors have moved and younger ones have moved in and it’s still the same – no decorations for Halloween or sometimes even Christmas. As I said it’s odd.

I think we’re still going to decorate this year. Either way, I know for sure that we’re having a few friends over and we’re going to have our own Halloween party. I’ve been getting some ideas from Personal Creations at their facebook page and tomorrow I’ll be making a few recipes that I found online for some Halloween treats – for the party – not kids.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a party on Halloween. We get a lot of kids coming to the door around here so it will be interesting seeing all the kids and having a party going on at the same time. I’m sure our dog will be barking the whole time too.

What are you doing for Halloween?
