I had an aunt who had really bad buck teeth.  (more here  . . . )

I am a big fan of the "keep a limb free and swinging" fashion look.  (more here ... )

I love Glue Guns.  They are the most important power tool known to man.  (more here...)

Lace is really pretty on clothes ... but it is kinda like crinolines ...  (more here.... )

Yes, some people had lakes ... we had sloughs ....

We were quite bitter about the whole situation.   (more …

A good pair of sunglasses are almost capable of being worn without any accessories such as clothes.  (more here ...)

Psychedellic and tie dye and freedom .. wow weren't those the key phrases of a whole generation?  (more here ...)

I like nature.  When you grow up on a farm with grandparental units they tend to relate all life to nature.  It makes it much easier to have difficult conversations which I suppose you have to give them credit for broaching tough subjects ...  (more …

I like going to the beach.  I like being at the beach.  I just don't like coming home from the beach.  (more here ...…

We have two little turtle doves that show up every morning and sit on the fence over the pool so they appear like a framed picture in the middle of the middle pane of our big bay window in the family room.  They sit there cuddling, framed by the magnificent greenery and hills that are our back yard.  (more …

I liked life a whole lot more when you used to see people sitting there and wonder what they were thinking.  (more here .. )

This is a new story in the line of "I had to walk 3 miles to school each day - barefoot in the snow - uphill both ways ..."  because I think after you tell that 400 times the kids kind of tune you out.  I could be wrong on this but I think that is what the eye rolling and fingers in their ears signify.  (more…

People laugh at the 70's and some of the colour and fashion choices but you have to give it over to those shag carpets.  I mean what was not to love?  (more here...…

I love the chaos of children out of control, frantic parents, and all the cute cute things children tend to do when they overdose on chocolate from Easter.  (more…

I went shopping for the perfect Easter Egg yesterday.  One that was all pretty and lovely and chocolatey.   (it's a word if I say it is a word ... it is my blog!)  (more here ...…

Kids don't appreciate egg colouring like we did when we were kids.  (more here ...)

Remember when people used to take the time to write letters ... and they would have to write it all out with a pen on paper, in words you could both read and understand?  (more here ...…

There is a lot of talk about help in the home to keep it tidy. (more here ...)

I get really frustrated at some of the stupid questions you get asked on those legal forms. It's bad enough that they have to ask some of those questions but it is even worse that they have decided to save money by cutting the budget for ink.  Hence we are often left with mere intitials to try and figure out what the hell they are talking…

What is with all these young girls and women taking endless pics of themselves to post on facebook etc?  (more here..)
