A sign of the times

So I use this port wine for cooking in various recipes.  We got another bottle from the liquor store only to see that it is now reduced in size (1 L vs 750 ml)  although the price is the same.  Also the smaller bottle is no longer glass, but plastic.

It is a sign of the times. 

A touching tribute

 

This family published a full page Happy 90th Birthday wish in The Toronto Star recently and I thought it was so touching to read.

I thought you might enjoy it too!

Sunday Smiles - The good deal

 

Daughter L got these cute little shoes for Grandson C the other day.

It was a good deal $20 for 2 pairs so she couldn't resist.

We are polluting the world with Amazon boxes at the same time, sigh.

Christmas Gift

 A few weeks before Christmas our real estate friend dropped by with these kitchen utensils which I started using right away, I had been looking for new spoons and these are silicone, all new!

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Gratitude Art Theme and Okra with Red Onions and Tomatoes

Merry Christmas! 

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's Gratitude theme.  I used a dove as a symbol of gratitude.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on cardstock in watercolour pencil.

For the Dinner Date I had made some roasted okra with red onions and tomatoes a few months back.  I think these are Christmas colours aren't they?

Wednesday Memes on Christmas Eve and on deleting comments

I have been deleting comments I receive from people I don't know as I am unsure if I will get a virus on my computer as happened to me recently. It is hard to know who the legitimate commenters are.
