puffin's

that what it's all about

We were in Newfoundland and boy was it fun!

I fell in love with this little bird they call a puffin and it really is little about the same size as a fat blue jay .

Our time on the rock was brief but oh so memorable and

we will definitely be back.

Wild rider !!

This is me on a "segway";smiling having fun!

What you don't see ;and I won't bore you with photos and gory details; is

Moi with broken elbow ,sprained wrist and 4 stitches over my left eye.

[I had a great time and would go back again with elbow pads and wrist guards]

it's a great way to see the desert.

I love the desert. The dry heat, the wild life , the vegetation... the cactus were in bloom . The colours and variety were both a surprise and a delight.

To think I went to the desert to curl and I came back broken from a "segway" ride!

There is irony in there somewhere

Curling in the Dessert

Yes! you are seeing correctly

I am curling in Arizona at a hockey rink

the first photo is my Skipp and my team mates talking over our options

It was a wonderful adventure I would very much like to try again next year

the weather outside was wonderful and the people inside where very nice

the ice on the other hand was a bit much when you consider it is a hockey rink.

but a memorable time had by all

I loved it and will go back anytime !

that is it for my post today

till next time

Enjoy your life as it is; cause it's the only one you get.

Life is a funny thing... Good funny and bad funny

so busy sometimes you need to schedule pee brakes;

other times it's so slow you can see the dust falling

Yap life is a ride !

You either go with the flow and keep up or watch it pass by

I like a busy life , a life of service , a life that keeps changing and rearranging

Not at a sprinters pace; I am more of a walking with a goal and humming a tune kind of pace.

Life is good if I am present and aware

Life is wonderful if I choose and I choose with a grin and a song I mosey along!

Happy Spring my friends

What does Curling and maple trees have in common you may ask?

ME

I have been spending my days either curling or helping a friend collect her maple water to make maple syrup . The old fashion way I might add; Walking through the forest with a big pail emptying the little pails hanging off the trees.... All 200 trees worth.

I'm loving it !! So great to be out doors in the fresh air. It's great

As for the curling yet an other bonspiel this weekend. My 5Th this year! Wow

Having a really good winter this year . The mild weather has helped I'm sure but keeping busing never hurts either.

Enjoy the great out doors as much as you can . I am trying to .

my new favorite saying goes something like this:

" In just two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday"

A La Later

WE live in one of the prettiest places !
with the some of the most beautiful optical nourishment;
Specially the sunsets.

Just wanted to share one with you
as best as I could with a camera
but the real deal is worth the trip
to beautiful Manitoulin Island , take my word for it ... or let this image Peak your eye's appetite !
