Ice moves
Ice shifts.
Temperatures rise
Moods lift.
Ice forms
Ice shapes.
Songs song
Music taped.
Ice freezes
Ice makes.
Jack Frost on Windows
Icing on cakes.
Ice shard
Ice guard.
The earth is frozen
The ground is hard.
Ice falls
Ice chips.
Dirt becomes mud
When the ice begins to drip.
Ice melts
Ice drips.
The paper cup
It rips.
Popeye the Sailorman,
Who once lived in a garbage can
Is now public domain
So anyone
Can
Since first arriving in 1929
Draw the man.
I have great childhood memories of Popeye the Sailorman!
When we were children, my friend Johnny and I would sit on the floor in our living room, behind the old wood stove, and belt out Popeye the Sailorman ditties.
Our favourite, the one that made us laugh the loudest was…….
Popeye the Sailorman
He lives in the garbage can!
He eats all the worms,
Then he spits out the germs.
He's Popeye the Sailorman!
We had a whole collection of this type of verse that we would very loudly sing. Some we learned from others. The funniest ones we made up ourselves.
Sadly, Johnny passed away many years ago.
I love, upon hearing that Popeye became public domain today, that these happy and fond memories came tumbling back.
I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of ‘can of worms’ will now be opened.
The Magic of Lights wind their way through the forests of Springwater Provincial Park.
Listening to Christmas tunes at 107.9fm as we travel through candy canes, snowflakes, and a prehistoric land filled with dinosaurs
The twelve days of Christmas, tunnels of lights, and Feliz Navidad lined the forest trail.
Merry Christmas and all the best in this Happy New Year!
Who doesn’t enjoy a couple of chocolate covered marshmallows cookies smothered in chocolate sauce and slivered almonds, with their bacon and eggs?
Who? Anyone! Even the Who’s from Whoville know it’s good for you!
Anyone who frequents Cora’s restaurant can partake in this culinary delight. My eggs were well done, the bacon crisp, the toast rye, and my coffee cup was always full.
My waffle, topped with fruit, didn’t need syrup as the strawberries and bananas tumbled down a chocolate slide. It all screamed for that extra topping of chocolate marshmallow cookies smothered in chocolate!
They came home with me.
I just couldn’t do it!
But, I would order it again.
What is a candy cane?
A sweet, sugary, peppermint flavoured stick of pure pleasure!
A cane-shaped stick candy flavored with peppermint, with the hook so that it can be hung from a Christmas tree. This one is decorated with red and green stripes, the colours of Christmas.
The candy cane, first introduced in the 17th century, is now available in a multitude of colours and flavors.
What is a candy cane?
A candy cane can also represent the shepherd’s staff.
The shepherd’s staff that represents Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd who cares for his flock and lays down his life for the sheep.
What is a candy cane.
Turned upside down, the candy cane becomes a J.
A…… J for Jesus.
Jesus, the reason for the Christmas season.
Literally, a five minute drive from our home.
After turning right out of our driveway, then right again onto the highway, a left-hand turn then took us to our destination.
We made our first purchase of a real tree in many years.
A tree locally grown will be locally displayed in our living room, decorated with bright lights and colourful bells and balls and beads.
Unlike the trees growing in the forest, decorated with pinecones and thick white snow.
We choose a precut tree, perfectly designed to fit into our vehicle.
Tomorrow will be a day of decorating.
Thank you, Bridle Tree farm, for a wonderful Christmas experience.
Happy birthday, Ben!
I'll love you forever
and then
I'll love you all over
again!
You just turned
two!
You have so much
to do!
Trucks to watch.
Drums to bang.
Books to read,
again and again.
Soon, you'll learn
to put on your shoe
and jump in a puddle
right on cue.
You'll laugh
and you'll hop,
and when someone asks,
you won't stop!
You'll grow,
and you'll learn.
You'll become
a growing concern.
And everyday from now
til well past 92
always remember
That, I LOVE YOU!!!!
Grandma

Cloud formations
In the sky
Beg me to ask
The reason why?
What happened then?
What happens now?
What will happen
To Question how?
The clouds are billowing
To keep their heads
From billowing.
Oh what a mess
Has been made
But the clouds
They have stayed.
High above
In the sky
I like to believe
Clouds, know the reason why.
