The King is Alive!
Ken Meets Elvis at local eatery in Niagara
Of course this one's fiction, Elvis is still dead although judging by his continuing popularity you'd never know it.

In Search of Harry Dick Road
Scribbles has several followers in Ottawa and its infamous valley. In fact I was born in the Ottawa Valley and have many relatives in the area. One such person is my cousin Cathy whose last name is Dick [insert chuckle here] As a "Dick" she's heard it all Cathy tells us. And recently she had quite a tale to add to her list.
In her own words Cathy says ...
"Apparently someone told the DJ's of Ottawa radio station The BEAR that there was a Harry Dick Road somewhere near Renfrew. The station sent out DJ Travis to find it.
He stopped in Renfrew and asked directions to Harry Dick Road. No one there knew where it was. People kept calling in with directions like you have to turn on Scotch BUSH Road and go past HUSSEY Road to get to Harry Dick. (which is all true of course) My daughter Erin, grandson Dylan and I were pissing ourselves"
We were watching from the window when Travis arrived. He parked on the road and started taking pictures [of the Harry Road sign.] I then opened my front door and started taking pictures of him. Then when he got back on the radio, he said some "lady" was looking at him through binoculars.
That's when I posted my response on facebook, that I was the lady with the "binoculars" and that it was actually a camera!
The Bear was still talking about it on air the next day. They said they couldn't get to all the calls and facebook reponses.
One guy said, " Lady with binoculars?? You're in the valley dude, it was probably a hunting rifle with scope. Watch out ! LOL"
When it comes to theme parties, no one does it like our Nova Scotia pal Angela Whiteley. She hosted an Oscars Party last month that even the stars would have loved. Guests were greeted across a red carpet and had a chance to vote their award winners. No one walked away empty handed at this big evening, there were amazing Academy Awards for everyone (all hand crafted by Angela, our very own Martha Stewart -pre-prison era...)
Angela has noticed some of my theme parties on scribbles and facebook. "Imagine the party we could have if we lived closer" she commented
(This is me in a nutshell..LOL)
"Get me a hair dryer and my lawyer"
This classic pix of my dog Timmi always makes me smile. He does not look like a happy camper does he? Actually he is pretty easy to groom and besides, he knows the drill: haircut + bath and blow dry = cookie!
Above Timmi we have a photo taken just a few days ago of my cats Alysha and J.R. As you see they enjoy the tub, as long as it's empty and the faucet is dripping a bit.
Rob and I also frequent this bathtub, don't expect any photos of us in it anytime soon ; )
