next 2021/09 – No, it is NOT Colonel Mustard with a candlestick in the library! It’s Dad with a spatula in the kitchen. Dad has been cooking up a storm lately. The mix for his yummy fruit cake (on the right) requires an entire month to ferment!
Matching T-shirts
next 2021/08 – Ray talked to Foreign Affairs minister and former astronaut Marc Garneau about the destruction of human lives for political gain during a march to protest the detention of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig. It is regrettable that China consistently chooses exploitation and manipulation rather than taking the moral high ground. #BringThemBack
An Unusual Flower
next 2021/08 – I have never seen such an unusual flower. Granted, I wish I had photographed it before it got so weather-beaten. The flower starts off as a stem with leaves ending with a flower. Nothing unusual here. But then, from the middle of that flower, the stem continues and there is another flower […]
Retired
next 2021/07 – Retirement is a situation where you don’t work but you still get lots of free money. I’m all in! What took me so long? Now that I’m retired, I will only do fun things and I vow never to work again. Thank you, Jacques, for this hat to help me celebrate the […]
Number One
next 2021/06 – Jeannine Pilon April 25, 1936 to June 24, 2021 I am pretty sure that tomorrow, the sun will rise in the East. My mother’s love and support, however, I am completely certain of. To know this and to be able to take this for granted has given me an incredible advantage in […]

Surviving Abuse
next 2021/03 – Raymond’s glasses fell out of the pocket of his jacket as he got into his car. As you can see from the tire tracks, he ran over his glasses, not on a corner, but right across the case lengthwise. Expecting to see many twisted pieces, he opened the case and saw that […]
Loss of Democracy in Myanmar
next 2021/02 – Raymond protested against the loss of democracy in Myanmar. The march ended at the Chinese embassy in Ottawa. China and Russia chose to back the new dictator instead of respecting the will of the people. This is not out of character. After all, China backs the evil pariah Kim Jong-un of North […]
A Walk in the Woods
