We Just Couldn’t Resist

You may remember our recent post, Nostalgia.  We since had a visitor join us for some desert fun.  The talented hostage worked his photoshopping magic here and I think it's awesome. Our weekly shoutout is to Fat Cow Co, if you like memes, go check them out. And if you like puns you should check … Continue reading We Just Couldn’t Resist

Point Clark and the Imperial Towers

As we meandered along the Canadian side shore of Lake Huron, we reached the sleepy Point Clark cottage community. Just south of Kincardine, this National Heritage Site is home to one of the six Ontario Imperial Towers. Unfortunately, but as expected, the museum in the restored lighthouse keeper's home remains Covid-closed. Fortunately though, the plaques … Continue reading Point Clark and the Imperial Towers

[One Photo At A Time] – The Photo Behind The Photo

[One Photo At A Time] Vanishing Point

Those who live in snowy climates know the feeling when you drive directly into a snow storm and can't see anything ahead.  Snow flakes twirling in darkness and you feel as if you are floating.  In reality, you are driving ahead towards a head-on collision with a moose.  The rest of you, think dense fog … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Vanishing Point

Reflections

We all slept in on the first day of 2021.  Partly because we stayed up to make sure we get rid of 2020 with a kick in the back end.  Partly because we washed out the year with lots of wine; so much wine that we didn't crack open the champagne.  But perhaps the main … Continue reading Reflections

32 of the weirdest New Year’s Eve traditions

It's been a strange year so in the spirit of strangeness here is a list of 32 wacky New Year traditions from around the world.  Most of them are meant to either ward off evil spirit or draw in good ones.  We may need this.
