Laughter is one of our human gifts...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty sure you're all going through the same angst as we are with respect to our changing world. While there are hundreds of "this is funny" videos, jokes, and stories circulating at a furious rate, we have found one that is, for us, a great way to start the day... with advice from Pluto. If you don't agree, then just delete. If you're already a fan, welcome. If you haven't met Pluto yet, I suggest you start with the oldest one and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. CJ and K

So what does a Capricorn do while on C-19 ‘stay home’?

Long, long ago... when I was a little girl, we lived in a small and very old house. It was so cool, when mom came home from shopping and I was assigned to deliver the canned goods down the narrow stairs to the dark and spooky basement. There, at the bottom of the stairs, was a carefully laid out collection of cans, ordered and segregated according to content, nestled between the the studs holding up the main floor. It was so easy to see where things went and what we had. The whole set up was only wide enough for one row of cans so you could see exactly what was there.

I've often dreamed of replicating such a system and, voila, yesterday... using a few boards cut to size, it appeared on the wall of our garage (Kathy's side; mine is full). Now, with just a glance, we can select a can of choice, make up a grocery list, or empty a bag of groceries. An even better advantage is that we have now cleared out three cluttered and crowded shelves crammed with who-knew- what cans of food. Our pots and pans are happier in their new quarters.

Should you decide you want something like this, all you have to do is select your favourite Capricorn... and give them the green light!

Maddie’s First Birthday

Nothing like a 3' chew and a fine leather chair to celebrate a girl's first birthday!
Oh, and a long walk on the river trails, a play at the park, and a visit to the boat, all of her favourite things.
