Alice in Wonderland Decorates
My son Jon made the following observation last night: "Oh, Mom, I hope you never grow up!" This in response to my strange sense of humour. I give you an example of a small thing that pleases me...
The vase on top holds real roses, cut from my garden. The vase pictured below holds artificial flowers. Just to throw the boys off-balance, I scooped petals which dropped from the real flowers and placed them under the artificial. Childish, yes, but I love watching the faces while the strangeness percolates.
Simpsonize me: This is
Tom's discovery. I confess, I chose the accessories and they may be just a tad overdone...
Debra had an

In case you hadn't noticed, it's
BAFAB week, one of four weeks during the year when you are encouraged to "Buy A Friend A Book" for no particular reason. Strikes me that one might get more mileage out of "Buy(ing) A Foe A Book". Probably wouldn't hurt and it would certainly throw them off balance!
Canada Day
William Hobson and
his family - my family - came to Canada in 1818. I'm so glad that they did because this is a wonderful place to live. Happy 140th!
