May 9

Well good morning all. It’s another beautiful sunny day out. I'm off to have blood work done before the 2nd big FIGHT and KILL day tomorrow. I am starting to shed this morning lol. Pretty soon I think I will be hairless. Oh well, I just know that it is the CURE. Looking forward to my visits today. Have a great day everyone. Xo

May 10 

Fought and killed. Haha. I got this! I feel energized and pumped. Going to relax and enjoy the rest of the evening. 

May 12  

Good afternoon all. Not feeling very energetic today. I'm going to listen to my body today and get lots of rest. Although I hate to waste a beautiful day, I know that rest and taking care of me is the best thing. Have a great day everyone.

  

May 13  

Howdy all! Just getting myself worked up for the day. Got a few things going on including losing that stupid birch tree in the back yard. Feeling a little more energetic today. Enjoy your Friday everyone.

PETS | A Memorable Day

YOU | The Crew Walk Once Again for Hospice Renfrew

"Even the rain couldn't stop the 35 members of "Connie's Crew" from participating in the Hike for Hospice!!" said Cathy Dick, of this year's fundraising event which her extended family participated in for the second year in a row. 

They're called 'Connie's Crew' after my aunt who passed away July 21,2014. Connie was the mother of 5, who grew up, got married, had kids and are now grandparents. Connie spent her final months at Hospice Renfrew and her family was so impressed by the level of care and compassion she received, that they are now involved in many of the hospice's fundraisers. 

Cathy added, "We sure missed Amy [Farquharson], who is teaching in Korea". Amy was present in the form of a photo with a handle to carry her along the way. 

"Over $93,000 was raised for Hospice Renfrew. Incredible!", Cathy proudly announced on her facebook page. 

That's awesome Cathy. I admire the way the former "Farquaharson kids" have remained close and how that family continues to grow from generation to generation. 

Below are some photos from Cathy Dick and Megan Fox's facebook page of 'Connie's Crew' having fun at the hike.

PETS | "Palmolive?" "You're Soaking in It"

Check out our pal Judy Wenjina's cat! We love this photo and asked Judy for more details, which she was happy to do.

Judy told Scribbles, "Her name is Digger and she was given to me by a good friend Wendy N Eric Eales who rescued her when she was just a little baby.

We have had her for 13 years now and she is the Queen of the house!

She has always loved lying in sinks and she can also flush the toilet! But she won't go in it!"

Wow, I'm impressed with that toilet flushing, if you ever do get her to both use and flush the toilet, we'll give Digger top billing on Scribbles.

Oh.... and as for the title for this Pets post, if you're of a certain age group, it will have made perfect sense.

VIDEO | She Really, REALLY Loves Cats

The original video of this squeaky-voiced girl was her first atttempt at online dating, but once she mentioned cats, well she lost it.  Someone "songified" her words to come up with this "cat-chy" tune.

I'm not sure if she ever got a date out of this, but I'm betting she got a few more cats.
 

VIDEO | Dedos Ludicos Artesanatos

This guy is wicked. He has a You Tube page, just type Dedos Ludicos Artesanatos into You Tube search area and you'll find him creating little masterpieces using some very interesting methods.

If the music playing in the background isn't quite your cup of tea, mute the sound, but please watch Dedos and others in action on this 2 minute clip.

ME | Enjoying a Spring Walk

Timmi and I took advantage of Saturday afternoon's warmer weather and sunshine, with a leisurely walk around the neighbourhood. There were blooms on trees and blossoms on the ground, birds singing and the smell of fresh cut grass in the air (another outdoor activity I took care of on this bright, invigorating day.)

I have a thing for rocks, I collect them practically everywhere I go. 

This house replaced grass with rock piles. No more mowing the lawn, that sounds like a good idea to me.

Even the flowerbed in front of the house I share with our friend Deanna Gilligan, was looking good. 

Spooky Houses Go Bye Bye

Hey! Where Is This?

Some of you contacted me wondering where this is located.  It is on Russell Ave not far from the Geneva/Russell intersection.  The buildings (soon to be rubble) are several blocks away from where I live and Timmi & I only pass by it when we are on our "big block" walk...LOL.

What's creepy is that there's curtains on some of the second floor windows. Other windows are boarded over and there's still a few random pieces of that 'crime scene' yellow tape floating around.  I will not be walking past there this coming Friday the 13th, that's for sure.
