IZATY'S ISLAND RESORT - ICE ATTACK!!!

I think this may have happened in spring thaw 2013 thereabouts on Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota.  Would have freaked me out!

SERENITY NOW

I decided to change my post name (see at bottom of post) after watching a re-run of Seinfeld.  Who doesn't need SERENITY NOW.

CYBER SISTINE CHAPEL LIKE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

Once into the link, right click on your mouse, holding down and play around moving to where you want to view. Use the (+) to move closer and the (-) to move away found in the bottom left hand corner. 
The virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel was done by the Villanova University at the request of the Vatican.

WOW, love this and beautiful music while you view too.

Heres the link -   http://www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/index_sistina_en.htm

NOW WE BOTH KNOW

Seagulls patter their feet on the ground to simulate rain.
The sound of rain makes worms come up to the surface.

MY OLD HOOD

About two weeks ago I went past where I used to live and the people who owned the house were outside assessing the damage that the ice storm had done to their car when a very large limb of tree came off on top of it.  They invited me in and it was wonderful to see the old place again particularly the recroom that my dad had built which was a piece of skilled labour.  I also was delighted to see the retro ceramic blue tiles still in the bathroom.  The cold cellar behind the bar is being well used.  I used to play house in their.

The next week, I went to a second hand store and finally got a pair of awesome cowboy boots in mint condition and when I was checking out I noticed a piece that was sitting behind the pay counter that used to sit on the shelves behind the bar of our old house.  A trivet that says 'When you are as great as I am it is difficult to be humble' - She gave it to me for free.

The other day, my Aunt sent me a photo of her and my Uncle and wondered if it was taken at our old house.  It was and funny thing is it is them standing in front of the tree that the limb just fell off of.  I sent her some of the photos that I had taken and she got back to tell me that she had the exact same chesterfield that the new owners have and just gave it to one of her grandsons.

mmmmmmmm, interesting coincidences but then their are no coincidences eh?









ONLINE RADIO WIDGET IS SNEAKY!!!

I added a radio player to the blog for Christmas - for Christmas music and last night changed the format to Country Rock, Smooth Jazz and Baroque music.  I just turned on the Baroque and its a lecture from Gnostic Radio - HAR HAR HAR, this should be interesting.

UPDATE - I just went back to Country Rock and its a radio station right now out of Port Alberni, B.C. - I used to live their and was just talking about it to a person on an FB group site.  Pretty good music.

VIDEO RENTALS IN TORONTO

In 1989 when we were living on the Humber River, Adam was just born that year - my mom bought us our first VCR - we went nuts renting from THE LITTLE guy who had a shop up the street.  Moved to Alderwood and then started to rent from THE LITTLE guy in this neck of the woods.  Then ROGERS and BLOCKBUSTER the BIG GUYS squished out the little guys and we rented from them.  Now, they are gone and THE LITTLE guy is making a comeback.  We started to watch thru ROGERS, pay as you go but at the end of 2013 they changed their format on the movie channel and for the life of me I cannot figure out the horrid new format.

That being said, I am going to rehook up the VCR and DVD players and head out to once again enjoy my experience of choosing a movie and help someone put food on the table.  Both the stores are in High Park so that is a plus.  First movie to rent is a Swedish sub-title movie - AS IT IS IN HEAVEN - highly recommended to me by my brother Cam.

By the way, the last Blockbuster to shut its doors was in Hawaii and the last movie to be rented was THIS IS THE END (or so the internet says) a comedy about the aftermath of a global apocalypse.  Yeah, that will be a comedy - NOT!

AS IT IS IN HEAVEN -

POLE DANCER?

         A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for her homework assignment. 
The teacher graded it and the child took it home.
She returned to school the next day with the following note:
Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be perfectly clear on my child's homework illustration.
It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint surrounded by male customers with money.
I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm.
This drawing is of me selling a shovel.

Have you noticed or heard about all the RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS that are sprouting up all over the place.  I have.  And this is just the beginning of this.  Its going to blow your mind.  But, you have to get your mind out of the dark and into the light.  Don't hibernate this winter - you'll miss it!
