perfect fit

My parents came to visit a couple weekends ago. Saturday morning involved boot shopping for my dad. We checked out some Viberg’s. We didn’t find any, but I had an excellent time taking shots of their shop. And giving fashion advice to my dad. And teaming up with my mom to give more fashion advice to [...]

armed with reception

The day we arrived it was raining. Depending on the trip, I often feel somewhat relieved when it rains on a holiday. No pressure. You can sit on your duff and be all, “Since it’s raining I sah-POSE we’ll just have to sit around and do Jack All. Cuz if it was sunny we’d go ahead and discover [...]

30 seconds of peaceful

John and I just got back from a lovely little Thanksgiving weekend getaway. We went to Pender Island and we slept and ate and walked around in the rain and then walked around in the sunshine. Very lazy time. I took this short (30 second) video of tiny waves lapping over flat rocks so I could share [...]

Happy Labour Day!

  Happy Labour Day weekend! LabOr Day weekend to you American folks. This photo is related to Labour Day because if we had clamoured up those stairs it would have definitely resembled labour. But we didn’t. We just sat there and then got off. So, I’m going to have to ask you to use your [...]

Awesome Book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

An important part of the holiday process: Devouring delectable books. Have you read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? You need to read this book. I read this fabulous skip-and-jump of a novel long before I was freakishly into dogs. It’s not really about dogs anyway. The dog in the title is [...]

Freaking Heaven

Did I mention we went away for the weekend in FREAKING HEAVEN? Umyeahyeah. We did: Sigh. If you liked this post and you would like to share it, that would be super! Thank you so much!

Divine Days of Awww

John and I went away for a couple of days. I’ll write a more complete post about the Divine Days of Awww, but in the meantime: Oh. My. God. Heaven. We slept. We ate. We walked around…. we slept, we ate… and after all of that we looked around and sighed: Well, well. This is what [...]

Sometimes Dogs Get Confused Too

Happy Friday, gorgeous people! I read somewhere that after the holidays people can sometimes feel a little… disoriented. Like, WHAT IN THE HELL JUST HAPPENED AND WHY IS THERE A TREES WORTH OF TINSEL STUCK BETWEEN MY TOES, BAAAAAAAAAAA!!! So, well done You! You made it through the first week of 2010. Not only did [...]

Happy Tree

I took this photo in July on a camping trip. It was so hot and lovely… I am looking outside and it is raining right now (sigh). I don’t remember anyone consulting me about summer ending (yes, yes my Australian friends, I realize summer is just about to start for you. Good for you, rub [...]
