HOPE For A Cure

One remarkable little girl; a fighter & survivor. She has captured my heart and should be truly an inspiration to all of us.

Like I Could Give A HOOT!!

Felt like playing around again with doing another animation today. Decided to also post the page in an SBF challenge - we'll see how the page fares.

Well what can I say - it sort of captures my mood today too :)!

Worth Every Penny

Never thought I would see the day when PRI would get to see Paul Rogers upfront and personal. What a great opportunity to see  Bad Company perform live! It was  thought not too long ago they would not reunited and tour again. I couldn’t wait to get tickets when I heard a 2010 tour was in the works. They were only scheduled for two dates  here and would be performing at a casino not too far away.  

The show was sold out very quickly. The only seats that I could get were not that great but the music was so awesome where I sat didn’t much matter.  Paul sang all my old favourites of his – bad seats or not, to see Paul Rogers live was a real treat and worth every penny!

I Think I Can, I Think I can……

My poor Ms Mitz is so determined to get her baby, (one of her stuffed toys), but is so very wary of the moving swing.  She just about jumps up anywhere but she hasn’t had the courage for anything moving since jumping into a rocking chair when she was a puppy.

I know she is going to figure it sooner or later and then we will have to find a new spot to keep her attention occupied  Smile!

Happy CANADA Day To All!!

Queen Elizabeth always receives a warm welcome when she visits Canada though there are those who feel the monarchy no longer has a relevancy.  She looked radiant as ever as she visited Ottawa today not only to inspect the Guard of Honour at Parliament Hill Queen Eliz - July 1 2010 Ottawa but also to attend Canada Day festivities.
I remember my excitement well when I had an opportunity to see her up close and personal here and at Buckingham Palace several years a ago. She looked remarkable then and still does today at 84.  One has to marvel at her stamina; she never seems to tire  even though her  appearance itinerary is jam packed. Wish I had made a greater effort to see her this time – you never know when it could be her last visit overseas. For me, it will be a sad moment when her reign is no more.
