He’s in a writing mood

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Chris and I are still hoping to get out of the house with our puppy sometime today. Oh she’s been taken on walks but we want to go for a walk somewhere different. In fact, our dog trainer gave all of us an assignment which was to give our dogs a new experience this week. Ours was going to be going to the beach yesterday but that never happened.

We haven’t gone out yet because Chris is finally on a role writing some new posts for his blogs. He hasn’t had much time nor been that into writing about music, guitars or musicians lately and his blogs have suffered from a lack of posts as a result. Finally he’s been inspired to write though, so he’s busy preparing some posts that will go up over the week.

I’m filling my time by making new posts too of course. Did you see that last one I posted? The people in the village of Galaxida won’t need any skin lightening treatments today as I’m sure all that flour that they’re throwing around will lighten their skin just fine. LOL Take a look at the video if you have a moment.

They throw flour at each other in Greece

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Clean Monday isn’t so clean after all.

It’s apparently the first day of Greek Orthodox Lent in Greece and how do they spend their day? Well in the town of Galaxida they spend their day throwing colored flour at each other.

That’s just too weird. Throwing tomatoes, although wasteful, like they do in Spain seems a whole lot more fun!

Grey squirrel enjoying a day in the park

This weeks theme is I Spy

trees at beach

I spied this grey squirrel enjoying a nice day in the park in the Toronto Beaches area and had to take it’s picture as it foraged among the trees.

I actually took this photo in January 2006. Yes, it was winter time and we’d gone to the beach because it was such a nice warm winter day. Now, warm here in the winter time means that it was perhaps 10 Celsius which really isn’t very warm at all, but when you’ve been experiencing weeks of below freezing weather just about anything above zero is warm!

We expect today to be another nice winter day and I think that later in the afternoon we might take our Labrador retriever puppy to the beach for the first time. I’d love to see her have some fun in the water, but I think the water will be far too cold so she’ll have to settle for running on the beach. I think she’ll be happy with that.

Hopefully I’ll get some great photos!

Bathroom Maitre De

Wordless Wednesday

How would you like to have this toilet cover and bathroom carpet greet you every time you went into your bathroom to do your business?

I think this photo needs a good caption – can you come up with a good one? “Waiting to serve you“?

BTW if you like this site please vote for it over at Blog Village! Thanks!

I need a few days in the sun

March 12, 2008 by Tricia

After all this snow I need a break.

Last year when we were planning to go to Vegas I got a membership with a travel club that offers great last minute travel deals. I think I’m going to search through the latest deals and see if there are any short vacation packages that we can take advantage of in the next two or three weeks.

Chris almost always has Mondays off work so he’s pretty much got a long weekend each week. I think it would be great to go to one of the Caribbean islands, Mexico or even back to Vegas just for a long weekend. I know that’s a really short holiday, but I think I’d feel better if I went somewhere that’s warmer than here for a few days.

Yes it is finally starting to warm up here in Toronto and with any luck all that snow we got last weekend will begin to melt away soon, but I’ve had enough of all this cold and snow.

Do you ever get that way? You know, just wanting to get away for a few days of sun and fun?
