J.T. 59th BIRTHDAY - Nov. 9

BIG YELLOW TAXI

I belong to 2 Facebook historical Tdot sites - Vintage Toronto and Toronto Old Districts. Today on VT, they had this picture and someone commented "OMG I never knew that's what Joni Mitchell meant in her song, seriously!" - I thought to myself 'Neither did I consider this and I just love Joni'. The song Big Yellow Taxi was recorded in 1970 on the album LADIES OF THE CANYON, but it was the album Blue recorded in 1971 that made me a fan ever since. Thanks to Nancy Aslett (eh CLR). Toronto had yellow police cars from 1969 to 1986. I have to wonder that I do not remember them considering one night after the Quarry and good ole Mr. CLR etc. etc. etc. - Another trip down memory lane.

FOR CLR - Finally found a pic!

I just came across a pic of THE NICKELODEON which was located on Yonge, just south of Dundas on the east side - 279 Yonge Street. It is now a well know club called - CLUB 279 and is above THE HARD ROCK CAFE.

SQUEEEEE PURCHASE TODAY

My Aunt will be 80 on Monday November 5th. Her 2 daughters are having a party on Sunday, November 4th. We were asked to make it Scottish by wearing something tartan and they will have a tree set up asking us to bring a tree decoration for Mary's 2012 tree. I am super ready to dress Clan Cameron. I got a Scottish Tartan Cape last year at Value Village AND a bag pipe liquor topper that I will put on a bottle of water. I got Mary a full tartan outfit to put on a liquor bottle but being that she does not drink I will put it on a bottle of Canadian Maple Syrup. Anyway, went out to Hallmark to find my mom a tree decoration that you can put a pic in. SCORED! AND, it even has a recording device in it for mom to give her best wishes with the pic which by the way is one of her and her sister at Mount Pleasant graveyard leaning together on the CAMERON grave. ANYWAY, lo and behold as some of you know, I really want a vintage 13 foot trailor (canned ham) to leave permanently in our backyard. WELL, there it was, a tree decoration that you put on one of the string lights. Just had to have it - cute eh?

TODAY's Project DID NOT WORK BECAUSE...

I wanted to lace my Nike's as a Star of David. Thing is, my runners have protruding metal eyelets instead of metal holes and the laces need to be thinner and flatter. Also I see that I need to have 6 plain holes going up the sides. So, will have to buy some new runners like the older Keds white. Nevertheless, I just found a site that has a ton of different ways to tie your laces and it is awesome. Here are a few pics with a link to the site after them. And NO, I will not grow up. As a matter a fact, the older I get, the younger I become. Its true ya know. I see it in my 90 year old mother.

SATURDAY with my SISTAH Friend .....

Picked up my friend Lynn on Saturday and went to a house estate sale. Lynn got a beautiful framed Bradford Exchange plate called A Basket of Love to give to her sister for 5 buckeroonees. Came home and googled. It is worth 75.00 - Lynn got it for 5.00 - Scored Lynn. I got a hose hairdryer. Yep, for 2 bucks cause I still use these things to keep the noise out. I have one on right now. I have 5. They are very hard to find. Sooooooooo - SCORED! Then we went to - Pretentiousness face on - THE ROYAL FAIR at Royal York United Church. Those churches always have the best lunch. Anyway, here is a pic of my friend and while this one of me is Blurreeeee, I just have to show you my new CAT EYE glasses. HOW RETRO EH! A great day. Looking forward to this coming Friday at the Lithuanian church where I line up for 30 minutes to be the first at the BOUTIQUE (those Lithuanians are big spenders and they have top notch clothing for CHEAP - Squeeeeeeeee) and then with Lynn on Saturday to the St. Ambrose sale.

HEARTWARMING DOGGY STORY OF THE DAY

HERO DOG Zamboanga City, Philippines In December, 2011, a shepherd mix (Aspin) named Kabang saved two children from a potentially fatal accident. In the process she literally had her face ripped off.Despite the grave injury, Kabang showed no signs of suffering, so her owner decided not to put her down. Kabang soon learned how to eat with her paws. Still, her wounds weren't quite healing properly. Enter the Internet: This month, thanks to $20,000 in online donations, Kabang is undergoing reconstructive surgery at UC-Davis. (tks Daily What)

PYREX COLLECTABLES

We painted the inside of our cupboards a golden colour. The kitchen is a soft yellow. I started to collect PYREX that matched our Kitchen this year and this is what I found. The most recent was PYREX HARVEST which is a wheat theme. The other one is called Butterfly. I also found an OAK and ACORN separator piece. I just had to add the 'Dippy Egg" vintage pieces.
