Music Moping

I need some new music. I'm tired of my old music. Does anyone have a favourite new song I can check out. I need help! Really.

Doodle Jag

Do you ever get on a doodle jag? Where you find yourself doodling the same thing for a while? I guess I usually have some favourite doodle or other on the go. They can last for weeks - even months. This is my current doodle that keeps turning up on scrap sheets of paper. It only works with a nice sharp pencil. As it turns out, I have two on my desk at work.

Burying Dad

On the August long-weekend we buried our dad at the Baynes Lake Cemetery.

It was a beautiful sunny day. Family and good friends came out to the graveyard in the morning and we all took turns digging. Shannon & I put Dad's ashes in the grave. Emily, Kaylee, Ella & Amy put everlastings and forget-me-nots in the grave. We added some lake water and Joan added some sweet grass. We all threw some dirt on the grave and all four girls worked for a while filling it back in as we all watched. Finally Shannon & I finished filling the grave. We watered it with the rest of the lake water and Ruth put some flowers on top.

That afternoon we had a small service at the Baynes Lake church that my great grandparents built and had a reception back at our place - the place my dad built. It was a good day. I miss my dad.

Feeling Crafty

I want to make something so badly! I just don't know what. Maybe I could just collect some supplies and see what evolves. Stuff like, crepe paper, glue, talented people, passion and imagination. And like, I dunno - scissors, water colours, dreams, vision, creativity, connections and maybe some pretty yarn.

I wish I knew what it was I wanted to make.
