Sometimes you get lucky and develop really great friendships at work. I was fortunate in my six years with the Federal Government to get to know some terrific people. Judy is one of them! She and her husband hosted a party for me at the end of August & they invited a [...]

It was my delight to go out to Bill & Diana’s place on the lake. We went for this great walk on their property & I took lots of photos. Their kitty came with us for the walk!
It must be about a 2.5 km drive from the highway to their house. It [...]

I was invited to be the guest speaker at the Georgian Bay ELW (Evangelical Lutheran Women’s) Fall Conference Event. This was my first time to be a guest speaker. Since women of the ELW from my home congregation of Christ Lutheran nurtured me in my own faith journey & growth, it was my [...]

For me, it is quite uncommon to see a life-size statue of Jesus instead of a cross in the altar area. I recently visited St. Matthew’s – Hanover. Click here to see photos.
This is quite a large church, but the nave, or altar area, was especially large with a vaulted ceiling that had [...]

My friend Suzanne is the only person who I know who makes pies from scratch. This means she makes her own pastry. She makes great pies … deep dish! I make lemon meringue pie with a graham cracker crust. I have no pastry skills.
I have been quite amazed since arriving in [...]

I’ve got lots of photos, so I’ve broken them down into sections as the numbers might seem a bit overwhelming. I have seen big feasts put on before, but you would never have convinced me that you could put 100 people – sitting down – in the basement at St. Peter’s. They did [...]

I attended a meeting last week and the couple hosted it at their home. I don’t know how you could ever make yourself leave home if you lived here (I suppose to pay the taxes to live in such a spot!) Although I didn’t take pictures of the home, it was built 40 [...]

I was over to Mary & Gerald’s for supper the other night (click here to see a picture of Mary & Gerald, Andy & Sheilah) and Mary showed me the great photos she took of a recent sunset.
Now … when you look and you wonder why there are five moons in the photo or an [...]

Both churches were beautifully decorated for Thanksgiving Sunday. For photos of St. James decorations, click here. For photos of St. Peter’s decorations, click here.
I had the privilege of being invited for lunch and supper with congregational families. It was an amazing feeling to be welcomed into these families’ very special times together.
For [...]

I’ve had two suggestion so far. I’m leaning towards “Muffie.” I’ve uploaded a number of photos that I took of kitty today, possibly that will inspire some ideas. If not, you’ll see how cute she is.
I had her to the vet this last week & she’s about 5 pounds and she’s older [...]
