Blog Break

I have decided to take a blog break for most of July, starting today. I just need some time to get things done around here, the blog will be one less thing to attend to. It will be strange, as I rarely take blog breaks. Take care everyone!

A Blog Break

These pretty flowers caught my eye at the grocery store:

There was a cute Middle Eastern young man ahead of me at the grocery checkout.  The cashier asked him if he wanted to buy any plastic bags.  They are about 5c each.  Most regulars bring their own re-usable bags.  He said in his accented voice 'How else am I going to carry all these groceries?', he was confused.  Of course he wanted to buy bags.  Then he asked her if she took air miles cards.  She was confused.  Air miles are points cards used in some other grocery stores.  He was obviously not used to doing his groceries at this store.  Then a lady asked the cashier where she could find tea and sugar.  Then another man in line asked about peanuts which he gathered must have been on sale last week.  I guess being a cashier requires a lot of customer service skills.

I'll be taking a blog break for the upcoming month of May.  It will be a busy month for me with lots of stuff going  on so I thought this would be the best thing to do.  Be back in June, God willing!

Short Blog Break

I'll be taking a short blog break to enjoy some family time. Have a Happy New Year when it comes!

One thing I learned yesterday from a friend whose wife is a nurse is that women with tattoos on their back cannot have epidurals (used for childbirth)  because the ink might cause an infection wherever the needle has to go (spine?)  Well, that is the belief in Canada anyway.  I went on snopes to investigate this and it seems some radiologists are refusing to perform MRI's on people with tattoos as certain inks may be harmful to the skin.  I'm glad I don't have any tattoos.

Anyway, enjoy these photos I took when M and I lunched recently at a new Panera Bread cafe.  Their food is fresh, healthy and absolutely delicious!  Their bread is unquestionably fresh-baked.  We really enjoyed their caffe latte.

Blog Break

I'll be taking a blog break for about a week as I have some out of town visitors!

Here is a photo of a floral arrangement I just put together. I've had this old vase for a long time filled with sunglasses. I saw these lovely roses and hydrangeas at the dollar store ($5 worth) and cut the stems to fit the vase. Hope you like it!

Roses and Hydrangeas

The newspaper had this interesting article yesterday concerning a recent lottery winner and his painful experiences afterward. I think he's doing all the right things unlike most winners.

Lottery winner Craig Henshaw paid a big price for his millions
