One room that says so much if one takes the time

 

 

Black Rose was home for a visit last weekend.

So, it was one of those "mom" moments ,

you know them....

"The local charity is doing a pick-up,

so let's go through your room

anything you don't want,

don't like,

doesn't fit',

won't fit,

just plain YUCK,

goes into the bags".

 

Somewhere

I have a photo of her not much

past this age lying on her 'new' bed,

which is her current bed.

There's a story there for another day.

 

 

A glimpse of the child she was

and

the beautiful young lady she has become

through my lense today.

 

\

She would sit for hours and read

Big Birds Big Book (sigh)

then it was Theatre, guitar, black roses and boys.

LOVE this Sun-dried Tomato by Benjamin Moore!!

Previuosly she had a blue comforter and such

so, surprise BR!!

 

Note the skull she made next to a teddy bear, the black tree by the Polly Pockets.

Juxapositions of this extraordinary young woman.  



Sportin' new jewellery

 

 

Well, it's not my Birthday,

nor my anniversary.

But I am sporting some new

jewellery.

 

Not what you're thinking though.

 

Nope.

 

Here I am at the local Tim Hortons

getting my Large Strawberry/Banana smoothie with yogurt.

 

 

Because you see, that's about all I can handle right now.

I tried eating wonton soup, but just landed

up with most of it dribbled down my chin.

 

Here we are visiting some nice folks

like Pauline, Jessica, Christine and Nancy.  

I had a toothache on Saturday that had gotten worse by Sunday.

So, I went to the After Hours Clinc nearby.

I got a prescription for an abcessed tooth.

And, like a good girl,

started it right away.

Well, 2 days later, I walked into my

Doctor's Office as soon as they opened.

And, although I already have chubby cheeks and a couple of chins,

didn't really need to tell her I was having issues.

She sent me directly from her Office to the Hospital

to begin medication by IV right away.

I have been going every 8 hours for 2 days.

Tonight, well tomorrow at 12:01 is my last one.

 

Then, Friday, I head back to see her

in hopes of getting additional medication.

Friday next, it's off to the Dentist to have

this tooth removed.

I should look GREAT for Halloween don't you think?

 



Love Exploring

 

 

I share with you often the fact that

I don't ever feel that I have gotten 'lost'

that I am just onto somewhere new.

 

Well, here we are again.

I was travelling back from Fredericton

(the back way) and seems to others,

that I took an incorrect turn.

 

 

 

You see, according to them,

I should have taken 2 hours to reach

my destination.  But, I took much less,

saw lots and found this too!

But, they were closed that day.

 

So, on a return trip through, I

got hubby to stop so we could check it out.

 

 

9J

Centrally located in the scenic Village of Cambridge-Narrows

on the Washedemoak Lake, the 9J is a wonderfully

stocked and beautifully displayed Shop with

lovely old antiques that are

seamlessly blended.

 

Black Rose was so excited to have found

 

Do you know what it once was? We would love to know.

We are still searching.

 

I have been searching for one of these

for my laundry area for a long time.

Not the best photo, will do another once it's "in place".

 

I think it will fit in well with these

which are on the shelf nearby.  (The lightbulbs are salt/pepper).

The bowl, towel and rolling pin all belonged to my Gram.

 

 

This greets you at the bottom the the stairway

 



Capturing the Bay in New Brunswick

 

 

You may remember awhile back

my post Capturing the Bay by zipline.

 

Well,

 

We got our Capturing the Bay Geocaching Coin. *smiles*  
We had to go to the Bay Of Fundy's Top Four Attractions - Hopewell Rocks, Fundy Trail Parkway, Cape Enrage and Fundy National Park.
 We  had to take a specific photo of the iconic vista within each location, have our passport stamped, and return it to the necessary location upon completion.
The first 150 particpants to complete the challenge received one of these trackable geocaching coins Thank you again Robyn & Ken (Rev Slippery) for this event. 

Exploration along the St. John River

 

I know how I have said before that geocaching

takes us to many places.

Here's another beautiful Church

along the 'geotrail' that we took

this weekend on a return visit

from the Capital.  

Mr Potato Head!

Corn maze - follow the path between the pumpkins to enter.
