Things you do for your Pet

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Deborah

This post is an inspiration from Anne (yes, YOU missy), she has the most adorable pet kitties. I have never met them in person, but have seen gorgeous, funny pictures of them that she posts once in a while on FB. Like this one…

Adorable aren’t they? I love Sir Charles, he is the Black and White one with the Hitler ‘stache’….

Anyway, her inspiration for this post came from the lovely, knitted collars she made them. Cute eh?

This brings me to the following question…..What odd, crazy, weird and/or wonderful thing have you made for your pet?

Smoky The Cowhorse

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Deborah

When I was in Grade 3 or 4, our teacher gave the class a list of books from the library and we had to choose one of them to read. Being an undeniable horse nut from the time I could recognize one, I chose to read a novel by Will James called Smoky The Cowhorse (that’s him on the left in the illustration from the book below).

This being my very first ‘novel’, it not only hooked me on reading, but further deepened my love of all things equine.

The story is about a gorgeous, smoky-gray coloured mustang born in … Read more...

Your Mini Virtual Vacation

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Deborah

Monday’s…you either love them or hate them. Me, it makes no difference as I work more on weekends than weekdays, but for those that hate them, sometimes a quick trip to Mexico is just what is needed on this day of the week.

So I am sending along something to brighten your day and get your week off to a great start. A small sampling of flora grown in and around the Mexican resorts. I gave up trying to think of the right word to describe them, as ‘stunning’ just doesn’t seem to do them justice.

Oh….and you are welcome … Read more...

The Incredible Mr. Limpet

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Deborah

Who remembers this movie from 1964? Yes, I am showing my age going back that far….but this was one of Don Knotts best film roles…..even if he does turn into a fish after the first 10 minutes of the movie….

With the assistance of Crusty the Crab, ‘Das Limpet’ (as the Germans named him) seeks out Nazi U-boats for the American Navy to sink in the months leading up to Pearl Harbour. One of Warner Bros. best Live Action/Animation films and is a close second on my all-time list of favourite movies.

I have always liked the live action/animation films … Read more...
