Happy Dance

April 4, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

00031796

If I was a cat … I would have looked like that yesterday evening. Yes I was dancing around my living room after I wrote my very well paying post and saw that it went through. I’m still floating on a cloud. I think it might take all week for me to come down from this!

I know that some people don’t like the idea of p/aid blogging, but for me it was a true life saver. As I’ve said many times if I hadn’t have discovered Pay/perp0st and a few other companies like it (I was already with two before I found P-P) we would more than likely be close to losing our house by now.

Thanks to that lovely well paying post that I wrote on Tuesday Chris and I are in much better shape financially. Honestly if you want to make a little bit of fun money, enough to pay some bills or perhaps even enough to justify staying home to be with your kids take a look at my Pay/perp0st post.

I need a holiday!

April 3, 2007 by Tricia

My husband and I never seem to take holidays. Well, yes we do travel to various places but it always seems to be a family related event. Remember last summer we went to Chicago? Well we stayed with Chris’ brother when we visited. We also went to Ottawa that summer and stayed at my brothers. We want to go to Vancouver sometime in the next year and oh guess what? We’ll probably stay with another brother of mine when we go there.

Believe me it’s nice to be able to stay in someone’s home when you go on a little vacation. It certainly saves money, and often we end up staying with people that we don’t see very often so it’s a good chance to get together and visit.

We never seem to get away for a real vacation. What is a real vacation anyway? I’d love to go to one of the Caribbean island resorts, or perhaps to South America – maybe Costa Rica, or perhaps a lovely European vacation?

You know what I’ve been thinking about doing? Signing up for a membership with a club that has resorts all over the world. We wouldn’t have any excuse not to plan holidays to different parts of the world each year if we had a membership with one of the holiday clubs like leisuretime holidays. All we’d have to do would be decide where exactly we’d want to go and book it through the club. Then we’d end up staying in a luxurious resort for a week or two each year.

I could certainly go for that. In fact, that might be the only way we start taking regular holidays!

How about you? Do you take regular holidays each year? Do you go the same types of places over and over again, or do you try to go somewhere different for each holiday?

For the Love of Peace

April 1, 2007 by Tricia

Join Green Thumb Sunday

Join

loveandpeace

This is an almost blown Love and Peace rose blossom. This is absolutely gorgeous multicolored rose.


It begins it’s blooming stage as peach and yellow colored buds that bloom into multi-colored roses of yellow, red, orange, and peach that could seem quite gaudy if you stare at them too long. The fully open rose blooms are at least 5 inches in diameter and the love and peace Hybrid Tea rose plant itself bloom prolifically throughout the season.

I’m eager for my rose growing season to begin. I have to wait almost two months before I’ll start to see the first flower buds on my roses. It’s worth the wait.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

This weeks Theme is Water

waterfallCNToronto

This is a photo of the waterfall near Toronto’s CN Tower. I took this photo last August when my husbands brother and kids were visiting from Chicago for a family wedding. I think the kids and my sister in law had gone up into the CN Tower to get a view of the city from above, while Chris, his brother and I waited outside.


We wandered around and a short distance from the Tower we discovered this waterfall. I guess I hadn’t walked in this area very often because I didn’t remember ever having seen this water fall before.

I think I took the photo at about 10 or 11 at night. I’ll have to visit the area again sometime during the day to take more photos of the waterfall. It’s quite large and it’s very pretty.

We have some more great photos up on our other sites today. Chris has one over at Odd Planet that I took when we were traveling to Ottawa last summer. It’s of a lake so it fits the water theme perfectly. Then I’ve got a great photo of rain droplets on As the Garden grows. You must visit the other sites – please. I’d love to find out if you like the photos!

Crazy Cats

March 30, 2007 by Tricia

I love this video. I don’t have pet cats, never have and never will because I’m allergic to them, but I can still laugh at their silly antics. I think it’s just amazing how cats can crawl out from under things like a door gap that is so much tinier than they their body.

Some of the cats in this video should apply for the gymnastics team – If you watch the video you’ll see somersaults, rolls, amazing jumps and feats of strength.

Check it out.
