Valentine’s Day on Another Day

Posted on February 16, 2020 by

I didn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day on Valentine’s Day. There just seems to be too much going on, or too much pressure created by marketing people. Last year, I was in Costa Rica on Valentines Day and I didn’t see anything … Continue reading →

A Very Full Weekend

Posted on May 20, 2019 by

It’s a holiday here in Canada–Victoria Day or May 2-4.  Like most Canadians I am not particularly royalist–at times I have been a pessimist, optimist, conversationalist, and even a drunken shower singing vocalist–but not particularly royalist.  I do, however, enjoy … Continue reading →

Posted on December 23, 2018 by

Another Saturday, and another Christmas meal. Based on what I have heard, this is the last turkey dinner for this Christmas season.  Worry not, though, there is still a ham and Chinese food planned before the whole thing is wrapped … Continue reading →

Happy Mother’s Day

Posted on May 8, 2016 by

It’s a no brainer. Today’s Perfect Moment was Mother’s Day Brunch which was attended by my Mother and all her children and a sampling of her grandchildren.  It was a nice day at a powerboat club in a city outside … Continue reading →
