Wordless Wednesday
Did someone say cheese?
Hmmm if that’s a real photo that chunk of cheese must be huge!
Can you imagine being a mouse or rat that discovered this piece of cheese? It’d be like heaven. I bet it’d be trying to drag it to it’s lair or break off pieces to bring to it’s nest, ’cause if it tried to eat it all in one sitting I’m pretty sure the poor thing would explode!

A few years ago my husband and I went on a trip out east with my parents. My parents were both approaching their 80’s by this time and while they would have gone on their own they appreciated the chance to go on a road trip with Chris and I. Plus, having four drivers made it much easier to travel!
We drove from Ottawa Ontario into Quebec, stopping in Quebec City to see the sights. Then over the next day or so we drove eastward until we reached New Brunswick seeing sites as we went. We mostly stayed in motels as we traveled but a few times we rented cabins and when we reached Prince Edward Island we rented a vacation home for a night.
Staying in the vacation home was great. I think we’d been on the road for close to a week by that time and it was nice to be able to do our laundry! The rental home was located beside a small bay and it was just beautiful.
Chris and I wanted to stay there for a few days, but we were the ones who had a limited time for a holiday as we had to get back to work in a week so we moved on and drove to Nova Scotia. We drove around the whole perimeter of the island … it’s not so easy to find a motel on the west side of Nova Scotia .. at least not if you are driving along the perimeter!
I’d never been out East before. I’d been out west several times – most often driving from Ottawa or Toronto all the way out west through the Rockies and all. So this was my chance to say that I’d been to almost every Canadian province. We didn’t go to Newfoundland – it was just too far to go in our limited amount of time. The ferry ride alone takes 6 or 8 hours I think.
Leaving Nova Scotia we drove back through part of New Brunswick and into Maine. I’d always wanted to go to Maine because one of my favorite authors lives there and bases many of his novels in Maine. Can you guess who it is? Steven King of course!
While in Maine we stayed at a wonderful Maine bed and breakfast. It was only two miles from New Hampshire so we had diner in one State and slept in another. The next day we drove through New Hampshire, Vermont and into New York State and then back into Ontario at Cornwall.
I really enjoyed that trip. The people from out east are so friendly and helpful. The scenery was just lovely too.
Of all the places we stayed on our adventure the two places that stand out in my memory as places that I’d definitely stay in again were the vacation rental in PEI and the Bed and Breakfast in Maine. I wish I could remember the names of each place!
I may be biased but I think pretty much all of Canada is beautiful. If you ever do come to Canada for a visit I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself. If you already live here, but haven’t seen all of this great country I suggest that you try to see some of our lovely country.
Take a road trip if you can, as you’ll see more that way and you’ll also get a better idea of just how huge Canada is!
Oh my gosh … I was just on a website looking at bras, ’cause you know, women can never have too many nice bras, and I found a page for something called open tip bras. Do you know what an open tip bra is? If you don’t go look, I’ll wait for you to come back.
Of course I’ve encountered that type of bra before … might even have purchased one … but I never knew that that was what they were called.
The name sure does make sense, but I don’t think I ever would have thought to call that type of bra an open tip if I were looking for one to purchase.
** If you didn’t go take a look you probably still have no idea what I’m talking about, take a guess in the comment section if you didn’t look. **
I’m sitting here watching some taped episodes of America’s Got Talent. You know, I do like this show.
I’m not a fan of American Idol, or Canadian Idol – yeah, being Canadian it’s pretty much a year round thing here, as one version of the show ends the other starts up. If you’re a fan I’m sure it’s great, if your not it’s one more channel to skip!
However, I like the fact that America’s Got Talent is a mix of humor, comedians, interesting entertainment acts, animals, dancing and singing … and of course the audition shows are hilarious!
Anyone else watching?
I love the idea of staying in a villa or rental home when I travel. Perhaps that’s because when I traveled as a child with my parents we always stayed in rental cabins, hotels or motels with dinettes, or rental homes.
It’s just so much nicer. You can relax, cook your own food, do your own laundry if you really want to … yes, much better than staying in stuffy hotel room.
Now, having told you my preference for vacationing I’d like to tell you about Rocky Point condo rentals in beautiful Puerto Penasco Mexico.
Imagine staying in a Oceano-Rentals rental home or condo with an ocean front view? All their rentals are furnished with satellite TV’s, internet access, fully equipped kitchens, and furnishings.
Rocky Point is located near the Sea of Cortez, a beautiful peaceful area to spend your holiday. Check it out if you are planning a vacation in Mexico.
