Icy Review of Niagara Falls, December 2010
Posted: January 3, 2011 in Standing StrongTags: ice, ice formation, Niagara Falls
Ice formed it’s unique pattern over the walkways, railings, bushes and trees that line Falls View Blvd in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. These are my best results from December 29th, 2010, using a Fujifilm camera, between 11 a.m. and noon. I was really sympathizing with the seagulls, flying so constantly I couldn’t get the camera [...]
“Please Signal!!!”

Even more ranting on the poor driving habits of Other Motorists: 1) Please Signal!! Geez! I would really like to know why you are slowing down. But wait! Let’s make a guessing game of it. Are you looking for a particular address? Did you miss your turn? Are you falling asleep? Is there a bee [...]
The Art of Driving A School Bus

Jeff had bought tickets a few months ago to a Lion’s Club event called Fortune 500. It was a dinner and dance. What they do is draw each ticket number out of [...]
This is a phrase that describes 50 per cent of my motivation towards doing what I do for my children, and the other 50 per cent of my attitude towards myself. Somewhere along the line of motherhood, I have become trapped in “mother’s guilt“. I don’t know if this just spontaneously happened to me when [...]
Are Changes Good or Bad?

LOL!!! Recently, someone said to me at work, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” I have heard this saying a few times in my life, but, seriously, I think it is the stupidest thing one human could repeat to another, let alone, believe. OKay, so how exactly can things remain the [...]
What Happened to Canadian Idol?????

This question recently crossed my mind while talking to Jeff about my post regarding American Idol Icons in the Canadian Setting. He wanted me to tell him why I like the American Idol winners. I told him it’s because they are competing in a high-pressure environment to become a recording artist. Why is this so [...]

It’s 9:55 a.m. on Wednesday morning, and I am watching the energetic Adam Lambert perform a new song on the Ellen Show, and the thought occurs to me that I have no idea whether he was the winner of his season or the runner-up. My daughter introduced me to Kelly Clarkson a few years ago [...]
