Out on the town
The traffic was horrendous today, with all the shops closed tomorrow and a huge snow storm forecast for the weekend, I think everyone was stocking up for the first long weekend of the year; I was.
I treated myself to two magazines:
Saltscapes Nov/Dec issue
Bon appetite Jan 2010 issue
. . . and three hardcover books:
‘Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1: A Study in Scarlet and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories’ published November 2009 40% off.
‘Doctored Evidence and Blood from a Stone’ both Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery’s from Donna Leon published in 2004 and 2005; only $5.99 each
Did my food shopping well Liz stayed home and cleaned. Beverly was working all day.
I also picked up a new digital camera with my ‘Shoppers Drug Mart’ points: Fujifilm Finepix Z35 10 MegaPixels with a 3X optical Zoom and LCD view of 2.5”
It’s a simple one that I hope will last me until I can save up for the Camera I really would love to have.
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage."

The year is almost up
Wow it's December 30, 2009 - This year is almost complete – it’s been long and somewhat unsettling with new things coming into our lives and others just changing.
How did I handle it at my end? Some very well and others, lets just say not so well.
I just want to look ahead rather than back. I’ve spent my time working out all the details of the past year and I think I have learned from it, well I hope I did.
Like William said:
"Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
I’ve made my list for next year. Simple really and I will achieve all six of them.
Only one day to go. . .
