Which Way Should I Go!
I find as I am getting older it is harder for me to make up my mind! When I was young I just decided on things ( mostly impulsively) never thinking about the consequences. Now I seem to weigh all the things that could go wrong with each decision I
Brother Can you Spare a Dime
We live near a very busy highway and there is a light when you come off it, and there is always someone there with a sign asking for change. Sometimes they ask for food or a sign saying they will work for food. Many people give money or even cigarettes
Loose Change
Everyone I know has loose change in their pockets, purse or cup holder in their car! As kids we loved when our Dad would fall asleep on the sofa and all his change would end up under the cushions! We would use this to buy “penny” candy on the way
THE FLOW OF WATER
I racked my brain trying to come up with an idea for this prompt! I used my hometown of Niagara Falls, Ontario for my musings and could not get the Falls off my mind. So I started playing with water and fabric and hoped that something would happen. First I
THE FLOW OF WATER
Water is a MUST for survival! For humans and the earth itself! We take water for granted when we live in area that seems to have a never ending flow of water. Living in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada AND spending my childhood just one block away from the Falls, I
Change of Colour
What could be more fun than living in a colourful house! We have all seen the colourful houses on the slanted streets of San Francisco or the brightly painted houses in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Living in the Niagara Area, we too have our “Painted Ladies” . This historic neighborhood

Snow, Paint and Cloth
I don’t really like snow or should I say winter in general. Growing up in Niagara Falls Canada, we celebrate winter with the Festival of Lights. Queen Victoria Park is decorated with over one million lights. Lights in the trees, on the buildings and even the Falls themselves take on
CHANGE OF SEASON
When we are young children, we are in the Spring of our lives. Our parents and Grandparents nurture us with love and protect us from danger. They feed us, clothe us, and teach us. We are at their mercy. We haven’t a care in the world! Everything is full of
Never Wearing Out
Although I love buying new clothes, I also cannot resist a good bargain! I have found some of my favourite suit jackets among the racks at our local Goodwill and Thrift stores! I decided to find some women’s “fancy jackets” at one of these stores. And a bargain I sure
RESTORATION
I have chosen “Restoration ” as our latest prompt for our CHANGE series When we think of restoration we often think about restoring old Church’s or Ancient ruins. However we can also think of restoring our own homes, old cars, historic buildings and even ourselves! Think about how we could
Another Transformation!
TRANSFORMATION Every year the same thing….. Spring..then Summer..then Fall, and finally Winter! The transformation from Winter to Spring I love. All the dirty snow on the sides of the roads starts to melt and glimpses of grass start to appear here and there. People start to change how they dress.
