A Neat Little Gem
2008-06-04 20:56:00
Nestled amongst some eye-catching gift shops and places to stay in South Baymouth, stands a wonderful little pizzeria. People often ask me where they can eat when they're visiting the Island. I always recommend the places that I've been to and love. Last week was the first time I had eaten at this quaint little pizza place. Hubby decided that I needed a rest from cooking and he took me out for a 'date'.Hubby has always raved about this pizza place and I have passed by it on many occasions, but have never had a chance to try it out. Usually when I'm in South Baymouth, it's to see off friends or family who are taking the ferry across to Tobermory or I'm there when I'm taking students on day trips. The pizzeria is conveniently located right beside the WigWam Gift Shop & Motel and across from the ferry terminal.Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that I'm not much of a meat fan and I don't really like pizza. *gasp* I know...I'm sorry! We eat a lo...

This is something I have seen a lot of in the blog world recently. Some of my bloggy friends have posted the contents of their handbags and it has been something I have been meaning to do for ages now. I've just been too busy preoccupied lazy to take a photo of the contents of my bag. It's really interesting to see what kind of stuff one carries around! I couldn't believe just how much stuff I could cram into my bag! Crazy!In my bag, you will see:2 packages of Kleenex tissues1 heart shaped Post-It pad1 elastic hair tie2 pens (I used to carry around 5 or 6 because I'm paranoid that when I need a pen I won't have one or if one doesn't work at least I'll have extra...and if I someone asks me if they can borrow a pen, I don't really want it back because of germs and I end up telling them to keep it. I know. I am a freak!)4 photos (of Chance when he was a few weeks old, my nephew when he was newly born, Baby Bro's grad photo and a photo and obituary of my late aunt who died a ...

Sex and the City
2008-06-02 02:23:00
I have to confess that I haven't had a chance to see Sex and the City at the movie theater yet. To be honest, the only reason I haven't seen the movie yet is because the nearest movie theater to the Island is two hours away!!!I am really looking forward to seeing it and have heard rave reviews about the movie. If I were still living in Toronto, I know just which of my girl friends I'd love to have seen the movie with!I suppose the main reason I've enjoyed watching Sex and the City on TV is because I was just blown away by the honesty and intimacy Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda shared in their friendship. The four characters are all funny, flawed, and human. The discussions between the friends was something I could sort of relate to with my friends. Of course, not exactly the same as in the show!! My girl friends would sit over coffee and talk about "man problems". We'd stay up late and eat apple pie together and just listen if one of us went through a break-up. My girl...

My bloggy gal pals and I were laughing about the "Little Asian Girl Haircut" (A.K.A. The Bowl Cut) that we all sported when we were kids. Growing up the 1970's and 1980's, it seemed almost everyone had the same hairstyle. I never knew why it was called "the bowl cut" until I saw my Mom actually put a bowl on my brother's head and cut around it!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! I still laugh every time I picture her doing that.*sigh* I was so skinny back then!!In the last photo, I'm the one on the right. I'm the only girl, yet we all have the same haircut!!Oh, don't think for one minute that Baby Bro was spared from Mom's wielding scissors and most detested "bowl cut" bowl! Though an entire decade passed between Baby Bro, Middle Bro and me, that didn't stop Mom's bowl cut! I think I was ten or eleven when I begged her to take me to the hairdresser's to get my hair cut!When I have kids, I am going to leave the haircutting to the professionals!

This post is actually two months late, since my little nephew turned a year old in March. I am always amazed at how quickly time flies. It seems that not too long ago, we were still anticipating his arrival. Now he's a year old, talking (sort of) and walking running all over the place.**If you've been reading my blog for the past year, you may have seen some or all of these photos already.**Dear Kenny,It is hard to believe that we didn't even know that you were on your way when this photo was taken. Your Mom and Dad had no idea that they were expecting you when they were at our wedding on the Island!When your Mom and Dad found out and told us the good news, everyone was so excited! You are the first grandchild on both sides of your family. Your Mom looked so radiant when she was pregnant with you. You should know that you've got a wonderful Mom and Dad! They are so very blessed that you came into their lives.I remember after you were born, I went down to spend a week with you an...

Growing up, our family was never really exposed to rhubarb. It just wasn't something that we ate. It's not common in either of my parents' cultures, so it wasn't used in any of the cooking.I remember living in a small suburb of Montreal called Roxboro, where our neighbours' houses were so close to each other. Naturally, we became friendly with our immediate neighbours on either side of our house. Two doors down, there was another family we became friends with. The girl was about the age of Middle Bro (a year and a half younger than me). This was long before Baby Bro was born.The girl was an only child (she had a sister born the same year as Baby Bro--when Middle Bro was nine and I was eleven). She, Middle Bro and I used to hang out a lot. Her mother would look after us after school while we waited for our parents to come home from work. We'd do our homework, do some arts and crafts, play outside and just be kids.We learned a lot from that family. They sometimes took us to thei...

I haven't written a Thankful Tuesday post in a while. I think I started writing Thankful Thursday posts, but Thursdays became Throwback Thursdays once Pinks & Blues invented those wonderful weekly specials.Anyway, today I am thankful for:* a husband who is so very supportive of me and who believes enough in me so that I can have my own business doing what I love (teaching ESL). Thank you, Hubby! :)* being able to live on such a beautiful island.* living a few minutes away from my parents so that I am able to have supper with them once a week! :)* being able to witness little miracles each and every day.* blue skies and sunny days!Okay, I promise that my next post will not be about the barn kittens, my dog, the cattle or the farm. I realize I've been going just a tad overboard with all the cute animal photos here! I just can't help it though!I am just so amazed at how tiny the kittens were when they were born and how quickly they grow! They are much more active and mobile now...

Around Here...
2008-05-25 23:49:00
I've always been called a "bleeding heart". Ever since I was a little girl I was dubbed a "bleeding heart". Some have said in the past that I am "overly sympathetic to the plight of others" and when discussing topics like Darfur, Tibet, Burma, or China, I get the "who cares if people in other countries are suffering? People should just take care of themselves." If being a bleeding heart is a bad thing, then I guess it's something I'm going to have to deal with. That's just who I am. I'll do what I can to help out others who are in need and who are not as able as most to help themselves.These bleeding hearts in the photo are located in front of our house next to the tulips. They're very special to Hubby, as his family used to have bleeding hearts when they lived down south (before they moved to the Island).Around here, I've been known to come up with some pretty wacky recipes. This particular one is a spin-off of my aunt's zucchini pie. We just love her zucchini pie! Instead ...

Farming 101
2008-05-22 17:48:00
Alternate title for this post = City Girl's Guide to Life on the Farm!Sometimes I feel so stupid. After nearly two years of being married to a farmer, I am only now learning some of the lingo used around here. Remember the time I thought that "a cow dropped" meant that she had cardiac arrest and just collapsed in the field and died? Hubby had to tell me that it meant that the cow gave birth to a calf. Sheeesh! There are some expressions that just aren't natural or don't make sense to city folk like me.I'm pleased to say that I have learned what "seeding" means. It does not mean when a man goes around and "spreads his seed". I've learned that "first cut" and "second cut" aren't expressions used only in the movie/film business. I've learned that "baling" is an agricultural term used when a farmer "bales" hay (or whatever else is in his crop). I've also learned that "wrapping" refers to wrapping bales with plastic and not wrapping presents for your wife! ;)I know what baler twi...

Throwback Thursday #27

I know I'm way behind in posting my Throwback Thursday posts. Again, no excuse other than it's been crazy busy around here. Haven't we all heard that one before? ;) Though I've been really bad terrible horrible at keeping up with my TT posts, I'm glad that the Pinks & Blues Girls came up with this fun idea of taking some time to walk down memory lane. When I do actually get around to posting, I always enjoy reminiscing.This set of photos is from my not so distant past. The photos were taken on June 1, 2001. I was twenty-five years old, living in Toronto, enjoying my life as an ESL teacher at a really good ESL school and just loving my time with my friends.Here I am with some of the other teachers I worked with. Oh, we weren't always allowed to wear casual clothes! Only on Fridays! Plus, we were taking our students to Canada's Wonderland via bus and subway that day.

An ex is an ex for a reason
2008-05-20 18:05:00
That is what my wonderful friend, Gavie's Gal told me many, many years ago in our lovely yet over-priced rented Elmhurst Avenue house. In her infinite wisdom, or possibly just to soothe my aching heart at the time, Gavie's Gal told me that "an ex is an ex for a reason" and that sometimes people just aren't right for each other no matter how much they want things to work out.Fast forward a few years, and Gavie's Gal's words rang true. I finally did get over "The Ex" and eventually I learned to let go and move on. When I least expected it, I met Hubby (he wasn't known as "Hubby" back then yet). I never realized how wonderful life would be when with the "right" person. Of course, one always hopes and dreams of finding the right person, but actually finding that person is a dream come true.I recall having a serious conversation with my friend, Mr. WhomAllTheGirlsSwoonOver in his artsy High Park apartment one summer night after we had graduated from university.

Blog Facelift
2008-05-18 22:13:00
I was over at Starshine's blog and fell in love with her new blog template. For quite some time now, I have been contemplating a new look for the blog. I've become quite bored with the look and wanted to spruce things up a bit. I told you blogging was addictive! If I'm not reading blogs, replying to comments, commenting, researching, I'm looking for new ways to play with HTML codes and such. Errrrr...Uhhhh...That's when I'm not teaching, working, helping Hubby on the farm or anything! ;)I have to admit that I was a little bit apprehensive at first. You see, I tried before to change my template and ended up losing everything! All that hard work with links, layouts, fonts, etc...all gone. Unless you've spent lots of time labouring over HTML codes and all things related to your blog, I don't know if you'd realize just how frustrating it is to have to start from scratch! *sigh* All those links I've acquired in the past three years...down the drain (or better yet, lost in cyber...

Love at First Blog
2008-05-18 01:22:00
Hi! My name is C, and I'm a blogaholic.I never imagined that I'd have a blog of my own. A few years ago, a friend introduced me to the wonderful world of blogging. I started to read hers and then a few others. All of a sudden, I found myself writing my own blog. I didn't think I'd have time to blog. Most of the time, I really have no idea of what to write about. Oftentimes, I don't even think what I have to say is interesting! This said, I still find myself taking mental notes of things to put on the blog while I'm teaching a lesson, doing chores or driving my car. I take photos in restaurants and when the wait staff and other diners shoot over odd looks, I keep saying, "It's for the blog!" Middle Bro once commented on my Facebook and said, "Why do you take so many photos of food?" The answer is simple. It's for the blog!Yes, I am indeed addicted to blogging. This blog contains snippets of my new life as a sort of newly married woman living on an island I had never known exi...

Edible Wilds
2008-05-16 22:40:00
My Dad is a very wise man. When I was a little girl, my parents used to take our family on annual camping trips. We lived in the city, so they wanted to expose us to nature and just spend some quality time with us kids. We used to camp in Gatineau, Algonquin, New Brunswick, and even Virginia Beach!My brothers were far more interested in fishing and catching frogs and snakes than they were in identifying the different flora and fauna. Dad taught the boys how to fish, but he took me on walking tours through the woods and showed me all sorts of wonderful edible plants! I really cherish those special times with Dad. I remember listening to his infinite wisdom. He always seemed to have such a strong connection to nature and understood the delicate relationships between all living organisms. My Dad once told me "if you're out in the wilderness you will never starve". He's right! If you are stuck in the wild and you know what to look for, you will not go hungry.When I was in the bush mo...

Just another day on the farm
2008-05-16 04:46:00
Now that J-Boy has left and I am in between students, I can focus on getting things around the house done and help Hubby with work that he needs to get done. You'd think that now that I've got "free time" since I'm waiting for the next batch of students, I'd be able to relax. Right? Wrong! Definitely wrong!Today started out bright and early with a load of laundry to be washed and hung outside to dry. After that, Chance needed to be groomed...desperately! Next, weed the garden, pick asparagus and rhubarb. Clean and cut rhubarb, and then put them into freezer bags to freeze for later use.Hubby and I were supposed t0 fix fences and move cattle from one field to another. After that, we were supposed to fix a tractor that had broken down. We started to move cattle right after lunch and by the time we finished, it was 6:30! Nothing ever goes as planned when you live on a farm! Now I understand why we can't just make out a schedule and follow it. Something always goes wrong, things fa...

Happy Mother's Day (tomorrow) to all my mommy friends out there! Hope your day is filled with love and lots of pampering :)I'm not a mom...yet. Since I'm not yet a mommy, I decided that this year I will celebrate and honour some of the very special mommies in my life. We've got family from Montreal (including one of my favourite aunts), my grandmother is here from the Philippines, and of course we've got my mom, my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law who lives right around the corner from us.Au lieu of taking all the moms to a restaurant, I decided that Mother's Day would be at our house. It was going to be on Sunday, but my mother-in-law is singing in the Island Singers concert and my cousin, Super Boy is returning to Montreal since he has to work on Monday.

I always look forward to Baby Bro's visits. His visits are never long enough and even when he's here, I feel like I miss him. Does that even make sense? If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that Baby Bro is my youngest brother (I've got two brothers) and he is the apple of my eye. I know it sounds weird, but he's very special to me because he's so much younger than I am and I was his second mom. I used to take him to baseball practices and drive him to his games. I used to bring him to his acting lessons on Saturday mornings and drive his friends home after parties. Instead of reading him Dr. Seuss books, I used to read him works by Shakespeare, Orwell, the Brothers Grimm, Dickens, etc.Baby Bro was supposed to come to the Island for a few days to spend Mother's Day with us. He was going to bring his amazing girlfriend (I love that girl!), his best friend and his best friend's girlfriend. Unfortunately, Baby Bro's work scheduled him in for the weekend eve...

You saw that becoming a farmer's wife has had some ups and downs. It's definitely not an easy life! However, it certainly is rewarding.

It's been a while quite some time a long time AGES since I last posted a Throwback Thursday post. I'm really glad the girls at Pinks and Blues came up with the Throwback idea. It's always fun to rifle through old photos and relive fond memories.This particular Throwback Thursday brings us back to the Summer of 2001. My girlfriends (roommates at the time) and I lived in Toronto and decided to go to Montreal for Canada Day. There's nothing more fun than a road trip with your girlfriends! When I think about us driving to Montreal for Canada Day, it makes me laugh. Going to Quebec for Canada Day??My two lovely girlfriends (Gavie's Gal and Nathanial's Mommy) and I had a blast. We went to le festival de Jazz, strolled through le Vieux Port and Vieux Montreal, went to the Casino de Montreal, and revisited some of my old college and university hang outs.We got to see Nelly Furtado perform live for the Canada Day festivities.

Not only was I coughing up a lung and unable to breathe, but I had a Fisherman's Friend in my mouth and started choking!!!Yeah. Right after that I ended up knocking myself out and giving myself a beautiful little bump on the back of my head. Nice.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue
2008-04-26 02:44:00
With quite a few of my friends and family members getting married soon, I've found myself rifling through my memory boxes for my own momentos. The day of my wedding was all a blur that I don't even remember what my something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue were! I think the something new was the gold necklace one of my Chinese great-aunts gave me. The something blue may have been the blue lace trim on my garter belt, but I'm not sure!Going through my boxes of memories (the same boxes that my drawings and paintings were tucked away in), I found this scrunched up piece of paper:I wrote this list on July 23, 2001. This was years before I'd meet Hubby. This was years before I found out the Island even existed! This was years before I'd realize what a real relationship was like and how a real boyfriend was supposed to treat me.On the list, I wrote a few things that were important to me when it came to "the right guy for me".

Calling All Artists!!!
2008-04-25 16:31:00
Ever since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to help those who were not able to help themselves. From petitioning to save our rain forests and indigenous animals, to volunteering at the women's shelter, supporting World Vision and other charities, I always felt that if we are in a position to help the less fortunate or those who are unable to help themselves, then we should. It may sound strange, but when it comes to children and even animals, I feel the impulse to help out even more if I can. Why children and animals? They are defenseless compared to adults who can find ways to survive. I've always felt that children should be able to be children. They should be given the ability to go to school, play, eat healthy meals, and have a safe and comfortable place to sleep at night.My father always called me a Mother Theresa wannabe. I am not even half as devoted to the charities of my choice as my friend (and former colleague) Jen is to hers. Jen is the reason I'm writing thi...
