Ninja Trip Day two

So. On day two of the trip aka the continuing day of no sleep, cranky crying children aboard planes and almost 30 hours of not eating we were moseying around the Amsterdam airport in search of coffee and “food-that-would-not-kill-me”. What a beautiful airport! I cannot even fathom the size of it as it took quiteContinue reading “Ninja Trip Day two”

Ninja trip Day One

So I am boarded on a flight to Calgary that will take me to my international flight to Amsterdam. I am in the middle seat, but I am over the wings which is good. This flight is just supposed to be a short one and we are flying over the snow capped mountains right now.Continue reading “Ninja trip Day One”

“I’m not old, I’m vintage”

Today’s NaBloPoMo prompt is about getting old. “Do you enjoy getting old, or are you fighting against it? I enjoy the wisdom that I have and all the things I have learned and are still learning.

The little things in life

Today is still Remembrance Day in Canada, and I spent the whole day being thankful. Because of all the war heroes and veterans before us, I could wake up in Peace. As I went to a local diner today for breakfast, everyone was wearing a poppy, the kind that you lose 6 seconds after youContinue reading “The little things in life”

Lest We Forget

November 11th, our national day of Remembrance. We are ever thankful. I think every child raised in Canada still remembers Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae’s poem ” In Flander’s Fields”. But in case you do not, here it is: ” In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and inContinue reading “Lest We Forget”

My Ninja cat Bartholomew

As I sat here wondering about what to post tonight, my cat so nonchalantly sauntered on over to see what I was up to and sat on my wine tasting notes. Typical. And so here is my cat post of Bartholomew, my mischievous little ninja of a cat who behaves more like a loyal dog.Continue reading “My Ninja cat Bartholomew”
