Teak furniture for outdoors

by

Don’t you just love teak outdoor furniture? We have a beautiful reclaimed teak wood table that we use in our garden each summer.

Teak is so heavy! The table that we have is maybe 2.5 to 3 feet in length – the top is an irregular shape so it’s hard to give an exact measurement – and I’d say 2.5 feet in height but it must weigh well over 100 pounds.

I oil it with danish teak oil each year because it does get a weathered look by the end of summer. The oil restores the table top and makes the wood look like new. You know when wood is wet and you can see all the patterns in it? That’s what happens when I oil it. The fine colors of the wood grain.

I love that table! I might even look for another piece to complement the teak table we have.





Family reunion planning

by

At the end of August we’re going to have a big family get together. My three brothers, my sister and all their kids are going to be coming to the Toronto area for a reunion week. We’re going to have a week of barbeque’s, fine dinning, and one of the days we are going to go on one of the Toronto dinner cruises on Lake Ontario.

Both of my parents are gone now and when my mother died in 2003 we all said that we’d make an effort to get together at least once a year. I don’t think we managed to do it in 2004 – but we’d spent a huge portion of the previous year together as my mother was dying. Work wise and probably emotional recovery wise we just weren’t able to do it.

In 2005 we got together in Ottawa. Our former hometown. We did the same last year for my aunts 80th birthday and this year it’s going to be in the Toronto area where three of us live now.

I’ve got a lot of planning to do. I’ve still got to book the cruise that we’re going to go on. I was thinking that we might go up north to Alora to see the Alora Gorge and to water tube down the river. That’s so fun!

Have you ever been tubing? We all went up there a number of years ago and tubed down the gorge. It was a really hot day so the cool water was beautiful!

Does your family have regular reunions?

Anyone losing their hair?

by

Ok I’m taking a poll:

How many men reading this have a receding hairline? or even a bald spot? Ladies? Is your mans hair getting a little thin?

The reason I’m asking is that lately I’ve noticed that my husbands hair is getting a little thin at the crown. He’s always had a very full head of hair so I’ve been very surprised to see this spot developing. His father has a full head of hair too, which is why I supposed that Chris would always have a full head of hair.

I guess I shouldn’t have thought that though. Thinning hair is a common enough problem for both men and women. Chris uncle is bald so I know there are some hair loss problems in the family.

Hmm if Chris’ thinning crown gets bigger or loses more hair I might have to send him to Dr. Larry Shapiro. LOL Sorry a little joke. That’s a doctor that specializes in hair transplants. I’m pretty sure Chris won’t need that. It’s not that bad and if it does get worse I think we can live with it.

A full head of hair is not guarantee

by

My husband and I have been together for 18 years now. It sounds like a long time, but it really doesn’t feel that long at all. Of course we haven’t been married that long. We’ve only been married for 13 years.

I was just thinking how when Chris and I first got together he had such a full head of hair I thought, great, this guys never going to go bald, he’s got so much hair!

It turns out that I wasn’t quite right about about my prediction. I wasn’t wrong, but I wasn’t right either. You see, his hair line is receding slightly. Just a little bit around the temples. Unfortunately that’s not all. In the past couple of years I’ve noticed that his hair has been getting thinner at the crown.

I blame it on his love of baseball caps. he used to always wear them and he’d tighten the band so much that it would always leave a big mark in his forehead when he’d take the hat off.

It’s not like I think he’ll end up bald or that he’ll need a Hair Transplant or anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he does end up with a small bald patch at the top of his head.

I guess there’s no guarantee.
