| |  | Something To Talk About
03:25
What can I say -- it happens!! We spend at least 1/3 of our day, 5 days a week, at our jobs. Infatuation is a common occurrence that sometimes develops more...into something deeper. Some businesses have policies in place that prohibit "dating" a co-worker, others will move one of the individuals to another position once the relationship becomes public knowledge. But the heart never listens to policy. ;) Who better to describe it than Bonnie Raitt. Enjoy! less

|  | The 1000 Islands
03:25
The 1000 Islands archipelago is shared by Canada and the USA. Located in the St Lawrence River between the Province of Ontario and New York State, its more...islands officially number 1,793. To be considered one of the "1000 Islands", an island had to be at least one square foot in size, be above water level all year round, and support at least one living tree. As you'll see, some of the islands are just big enough to hold a one-room cottage, while others, like Heart Island, are large enough to accommodate a castle and all its trimmings! Boldt Castle, on Heart Island, has a history worth exploring. Enjoy! less

Tiki and Rio are Green-cheeked Conures, and the latest additions to my sister's Ark -- she already has two cats, two dogs, two geckos, and two chinchillas... more... lol They are about 8 months old and very sweet, except when it comes to sharing their favourite treat - a green grape! The song is another from the list of '70's "one hit wonders" -- Gimme Dat Ding, by The Pipkins. Enjoy! less

Sometimes the "Star" of the movie or television show ends up doing more for more...the auto industry than the commercials! Enjoy this look at some of the movie and television stars on four wheels -- well, most of the time! ;) less

|  | The 155th Binbrook Fair
04:08
I love a small town agricultural fair! From the smell of the hay and its varied inhabitants, the chatter of exhibitors getting their prized livestock more...ready for the ring, the noise of the midway rides and games, to the wasps vying for my cotton candy, I can’t think of anything not to like! Unfortunately the expansion of our cities has engulfed many of these communities and country fairs are diminishing. Enjoy my view of one of southern Ontario’s community fairs.
For the record, the Heavy Horse Pull was won by “Charlie and Ike”. With a combined weight somewhere under 3400 pounds, they successfully pulled the sled 15 feet. The sled and its concrete contents weighed 9000 pounds! – more than double the weight of these well-trained athletes. Check out their cleats! less

I am a Chocoholic! Chocolate makes anything in life better. When I die, I don't want to be embalmed, I want to be dipped!! The big decision is -- milk more...chocolate or bittersweet. LOL Enjoy! :) And, a special "Thank You" to Mike (m.ororke). xoxo

|  | Dundurn Castle
05:47
This Canadian National Historic Site is not really a “castle” at all. Dundurn Castle was built by Sir Allan Napier MacNab, and completed in 1835 at a more...cost of $175,000.00. Seventy-two rooms made up its 18,000-square-footage (1,700 square metres) and 42 of them are now open to the public after being restored to what they would have been in 1855. Sir John A. MacDonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, and England’s King George VII were among those entertained there.
Some interesting facts from the tour:
-- Dundurn Castle was the first home in the province to have gas lighting and running water. The water was pumped through the house by a young boy who earned $2.00 per month for his service.
-- The “Scullery Maid” was a young girl of 9 or 10. She washed the dishes from the entire household’s seven meals each day. Her wage -- $1.30 per month.
-- Refined sugar was delivered in a solid, paper-wrapped “cone”. It was shaved or chipped off when needed. The cost of a cone of sugar - $75.00. The cost of a new home - $100.00.
-- Sir Allan MacNab was often accused of treating his servants too well. :)
The Victorian Kitchen Garden was a project undertaken by the City of Hamilton as part of the restoration. This formal garden is walled in Scottish fashion, and has a series of walkways and beds full of fruit, flowers, herbs and vegetables that would have been grown during Sir Allan NacNab’s lifetime at Dundurn. The garden is maintained the “old fashioned way” – by hand, and all natural. less

An amazing young man asked me if I knew this song. I most certainly did, though it wasn't one that I had ever thought of working with. This was a tough more...one.
Tracy Chapman's unmistakeable voice and incredible lyrics take us on a somewhat familiar journey -- the struggle to break away from a way of life that often is repeated, generation after generaton. This character's hope never fades, and I like to think that there is a happy ending.
Fast Car – Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
Live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way less
