A new tapas appetizer


 I was watching a Jamie Oliver show on TV where he featured Spanish tapas.  They all looked so delicious, including a charcuterie board he built.  But his cracker, cheese, honey and coffee ground appetizer caught my attention and I decided to try it with some coffee salt I have had in a bottle for awhile.  It was quite good, and I think I found a good use for my coffee salt!

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Points and Dots

 


Here is my 'Points and Dots' piece for Rain's Thursday Art Date.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on poster paper cut to size.  I enjoyed putting random dots on my maple leaf.

Remembrance Day 2020


 We must never forget.  I happened upon a Rick Steve's program on 'Fascism' on PBS TV recently and it revisited the horrors of World War II.  Many of us were not yet born and let's hope these times will never be repeated.  It is a real fear as history tends to repeat itself.

The gift basket


 My Godmother discovered she had bladder cancer this past summer.  She is about 80.  Apparently it is a fast growing type of tumour they discovered from the biopsy but hopefully they caught it early.  She is doing well.  My sisters and I decided to send her a comforting gift basket as pictured above.  She was a dear friend of our late mother.  When she saw the driver at her door she thought he had lost his way, she was very pleased and surprised.

Why English is so Hard to Learn


 Heteronym is a new word for me here, but this is a very interesting read.
