Have you ever found a photograph - a photograph of complete strangers? Maybe in a used book or at a flea market? Not a photograph of anyone you know or anybody famous or of a place you’ve ever heard of. Just somebody else's ordinary, precious personal photo. Working at a used bookstore I found a… Continue reading Book Review – Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Picture heavy post. Not much to say, just feeling very blessed after a wonderful weekend on the Sunshine Coast.
Has anybody read this article by Samantha Brick? In it Brick details the difficulties of being too beautiful. Brick is 41, an English woman living in France with her French husband, and, apparently, accomplished in her career. Yes, the article includes pictures of her. She says that frequently men buy her drinks, help her to… Continue reading A Beautiful Woman
I sort of forgot that I had made mention in a previous post that I would share some of our thrift store discoveries made while in Washington. Peter and I are avid thrift shoppers - we can't get enough of the places. It goes along nicely with the fact that we're newish university graduates and… Continue reading Thrifting Adventures (American Edition)
Okay, that headline is a little misleading. I like the word botanical though. Last week Peter and I got to spend three days and two nights a little south of the border...the state of Washington! The weather was gorgeous, we had some excellent thrift store experiences, and I took a lot of pictures. We spent… Continue reading A Botanical Adventure through the Pacific Northwest

If someone recommends a book to me that I think I would want… Continue reading Book Review – The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller
Not feeling that well last night, I snuggled into bed, in my pajamas, with Netflix, looking for something to watch. I flicked through the titles for a while - wanting something that wouldn't require a lot of thought, elicit a lot of emotion, but wouldn't be too incredibly stupid. Do any of you have good… Continue reading Looking Cool on TV
Our journey is finally at an end. I, for one, am happy to be finished watching Ben and his hair. Did you know this was "the most controversial finale in Bachelor history"? The final days find us still in Switzerland, in Zermatt, near the Matterhorn (I love that ride at Disneyland). Once again, Switzerland is… Continue reading The Bachelor Finale
It's Monday and it's grey/rainy outside but I'm in a good mood for some reason. My theory is it's the extra hour of light yesterday. I have a confession: I think daylight savings rocks. In the fall we get an extra hour of sleep and in the spring we get more daytime. I like both… Continue reading Happy Things
