Sunshine and +2

The dogs and I just got back from a wonderful walk. We finally have sunshine again! SK is known for its sunshine and lack of cloudy days. Although it is still cool it made the air so fresh. I remember the first time I saw smog in Ontario. We were [...]

Holding up the Mirror

As I was reflecting on some recent comments, I recalled Doug asking a few months after my return from internship in Ontario: “How did you ever survive internship??” And then he started with this whiny voice (somehow suggesting that it was an accurate imitation of me) saying: “Maarrry” “Gerrralllddd” “Jooohhnn” [...]

Spring Prep in the Backyard

Last Sunday afternoon was beautiful although slightly cool. I was really tired but thought if I got outside that the fresh air would perk me up. The tiger lillies haven’t sprouted yet, so it was the ideal time to pull the old stems (woody) out of the ground and pull out [...]

Snow in Regina

I had to wake up early this morning so that I could take Doug to the airport (I am a nice wife.) This is what I saw when I looked out my window! I let out a scream. Nobody told me this was ‘in the air.’ UGH! The [...]

LTS Chapel at Easter

The LTS Chapel was beautifully decorated for Easter. The Dean of Chapel grows orchids and she supplied her orchids. They were amazing. I have never seen so many orchids in full bloom before.
I am having a bit of a problem with figuring out the croping technique with a new [...]

Fran’s New BBQ

Last fall Fran’s BBQ bit the dust and her good friends, Florence & Randy, had a great idea for us to go together and buy Fran a new BBQ. The problem was that her BBQ broke so late in the season & we couldn’t find a BBQ in stock. Well, it [...]

Living in Regina

I have completed all the requirements for a Masters of Divinity! This past week I have been struggling to complete my last essay. It was only ten pages, but it was a difficult assignment to synthesize and integrate a very narrow topic. I was having trouble finding large enough blocks of time [...]

Grad Party Photos

Well, here she is … “Miss Silver Fox 2009″ … I was trying my ‘fashion show best’ to show off the sleeves of this ‘thing’ I’m wearing. I don’t even know what liturgical apparel it is – no body wears them. Check out my post from a couple of days ago to [...]

A World of Stories

I would like to do something a little bit different with my blog this time around. I would like to share your stories. When I heard that Jennifer, friend and regular commentor, had broken her wrist I thought … here’s a story. I emailed her for a photo and she was very [...]

Confessions of a Shopaholic

I know … your first thought was that I was talking about myself! You don’t know me!! I don’t shop … I don’t believe in browsing. If I go to shop, I go to buy – otherwise I don’t shop. And I don’t shop much – they are just successful trips [...]
