Day 24 - Monday It's finally happened. With only a week to go, I'm repeating a dress. This is the dress from Day 8. In truth, this repeat is not because I've run out of dresses but because the dresses I haven't worn yet are all pretty fancy. And today it's pouring rain and it's… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge
Let's see...what happened this weekend? Peter bought new glasses. (I'm sure he'll want to show them off to you when he picks them up in 2 weeks. Stay tuned!) These are two of the local ravens that have decided the roof of our house is the coolest place around. Look, ravens are neat and they… Continue reading Things that Happened on the Weekend

Today I thought I'd share some views of my neighbourhood. Namely, the view from a rowboat out on the water on Saturday morning. We look out at this view every day. Rowing out towards it is kind of like stepping into a painting. This giant anchor on a little island has become a symbol of… Continue reading Around the Neighbourhood
The last couple of weeks, on our way home from church on Sunday, Peter and I have noticed some sort of yard sale happening in the parking lot of the local mall. Some people set up tables. Some people pull down the tailgate of their truck and use that as a table. There's jewellery, books,… Continue reading Weekend Score

I'm working my way through the book of Hebrews currently, reading it along with William Barclay's commentary. Barclay explains something neat that I've never noticed before about the opening passage in Hebrew. Here's how it reads in my Bible: Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the… Continue reading The Service of Talent
Read about my 30 Day Dress Challenge here and here. Day 6 - Thursday Dress: "Seduction", purchased at Sirens (Isn't that embarassing? For those of you who don't know it, Sirens is a women's clothing store that sells cheap, often trashy clothing. It's where people buy clothes for clubbing and it's terrible. This is the… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge
A fair bit of this: A "grown-up dinner", Friday evening. Peter referred to it as such and, since he cooked it, he can call it whatever he wants. I refer to it as "delicious". Before church on Sunday morning: A special service in a gorgeous, semi-outdoor local building. Do you know that singing in/with a… Continue reading What Life Looks Like
