Brantford’s playing for the Allan Cup

April 19, 2008 by Tricia

My husbands all excited because he was channel surfing and discovered that his hometown hockey team is playing a game in Brantford that ‘s being televised on TSN. It looks like the Brantford Blasts are in the finals for the Allan Cup.

He’d talked to his dad earlier today and his dad is at the game, so we’re watching for him in the stands.

My father in law yells pretty loud so I’m sure we’ll hear him even if we don’t see him!

I can’t believe they’re advertising Rolex watches on the sideboards. In Brantford? Now that’s strange!

Anyone else watching the Allan Cup? Gretzky’s youngest brother is playing for Brantford. Have I mentioned that we know the family?

Dogs in the park

March 4, 2008 by Tricia

Speaking of capturing funny dog pictures! LOL

Now that we’re taking our puppy to the park on a regular basis it probably won’t be too long before we’ll see something like this ourselves. Midnight’s already got some doggy friends that we run into in the park and each time she goes we meet new dog owners and new dogs.

On Sunday we brought her to the park with a frisbee. She had a ton of fun playing with it. Unfortunately she mainly wanted to chase it and catch it and then chew on it rather than bring it back to us.

The frisbee attracted other dogs and it wasn’t long before another lab, a 13 month old, got a hold of her frisbee. It was cold out and the frisbee was made of a hard plastic that must have become brittle as it eventually cracked.

We took the frisbee away at that point as I was pretty sure that one of the dogs would end up with a cut mouth or something!

I guess we’ll have to get a softer rubber frisbee to play with next time.

It was fun bringing a toy to the park though. That was the first time we brought anything for Midnight to play with and it went over well.

Do you bring along something for your dog to play with when you go on a long walk or a visit to a park?

Buy and sell tickets at Viagogo – concerts, sports and live theater events

October 22, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever purchased tickets for an upcoming concert, the theater or perhaps a sporting event only to have something come up causing you to not be able to go? What did you end up doing with those tickets? Did you give them to a friend or did you simply write them off as money lost?

Well, if you ever find yourself in that kind of situation again, and of course if you live in Europe, you might want to visit Viagogo. Not only can you sell tickets that you are unable to use on Viagogo, but you’ll also be able to purchase tickets to a wide variety of events. For example if you are a sports fan you might want to visit Viagogo to search for Football Tickets, Cricket Tickets or perhaps Rugby Tickets. Perhaps you’ll be able to get tickets for your favorite team?

I live in North America, but if I could get to London in Mid-December I’d try to get tickets for the Thin Lizzy & Queensryche concert at Apollo Hammersmith in London on December 13th.

I love Thin Lizzy. I’ve been a fan of the band ever since I first heard their music as a teen. It’s so sad that the lead singer passed away so long ago. He was extremely talented and I’m sure the band would have been huge if he’d still been around.

I have a personal interest in Thin Lizzy as well. You see I work with, and am good friends with, the lead singers first cousin at the hospital. It would be so cool to go and see the band that her cousin started. Plus, the price of the Thin Lizzy concert tickets is fairly reasonable.

Viagogo has tickets listings for other great bands that I’d love to see as well like The Police and the Sex Pistols. Check it out – I’m sure you’ll find some great tickets there just like I did.

A site that reviews the top online casinos

October 13, 2007 by Tricia

Can you believe I’ve never gambled at a casino? I know so many people who make regular trips to Casinos all over North America, and yet I’ve never once given it a try.

Needless to say I’ve never used and online casino either. I do believe that there are even more people that use online casinos than who actually go to try their luck in casinos.

If you enjoy visiting online casinos you might want to visit Online Casino Bluebook as this site contains reviews of the tops ten Online Casinos. I believe this list is updated each month if not even more regularly.

You’ll also find reviews and top 10 listings for no deposit casinos, bingo halls, poker rooms, and SportsBook sites.

I found the site very easy to navigate and when I took a look at some of the reviews I found them to be very informative. Bonus’ and other special features of each online casino are listed in an easy to understand manner in each of the reviews that I took a look at on onlinecasinobluebook.

So if you enjoy playing at online casinos visit onlinecasinobluebook and make sure you are playing at the best online casino and or one that offers the bonus’ or features that you’ve been looking for in a casino.

The lap of luxury

September 18, 2007 by Tricia

If you enjoy looking at luxury homes you’ve got to go and visit my home and gardening site. I wrote a post yesterday about a luxury home that’s built on a golf course and I included several photos.

The house is for sale, but it’s way out of my price range at 2.5 million! Unless I win the lottery I’ll never be able to own a home like that, but I can dream!

Can you imagine living on a golf course? I’m not a huge fan of golf, but I know my husband would love to play the game more often. I’m sure he wouldn’t be opposed to living on or near a golf course. I’ve seen him browsing sites like Callaway golf in the past so I know he wants to play more often than he has been.

I’ve gone off course. My whole point was that if you want to see a beautiful home go and read the post I wrote on As the Garden Grows. You can even see a virtual tour of the house! Wow, wow, wow and drool!
