Just a quick note to say you can now find us over here....From The Desk Of....

Cheers!

After much thought I have decided to take some time away from blogging. I have also decided that when I do return to the blogosphere I will be starting up a brand new blog to reflect some of the changes in my life, and self since initially starting up this blog. To this end I will be developing a new website, and when ready will concentrate my efforts, and all my favourite memes into one blog only.

I am actually finding this process quite exciting, and am looking forward to coming back with a brand new, and even better blog.

Thank you to all the readers of this blog, and I hope you will consider joining me over at the new one.

I will be posing a link to the new site, and blog when available...stay tuned.....

Oh, and I will still be contributing to The Paranormal Blog...so please do join us over there too.

Happy Thanksgiving to any and all Canadians that happen to surf by

What makes the above photo so special is that it was taken in 1909. No, I'm not kidding 1909! Yet it looks like it could be from 2009!

It is almost eerie to think these girls have passed on long ago.

Enjoy!

Since my Mom passed away last month I have been tackling a long put off project, and that is to scan all of our family photo albums, and store them electronically. This task has brought me some comfort, and my blessing of good memories that I can hang on to during this very difficult time.

The photo above was taken almost 20 years ago. That is my Mom (aged 55) at the time, me, and my middle daughter Sarah.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope the upcoming week is a good one for you.

I am currently reading The Death of Kings: A Medical History of the Kings and Queens of England, which was a gift from my eldest daughter. She picked up a copy for me at Westminster Abbey in London during a vacation this past summer. So far it is proving to be a most fascinating read! If you would like more details you can check it out here. Definitely recommended for those interested in history, royalty, and/or medicine.

If you are interested in historical re-enactment please visit the Norfolk Militia Heritage Regiment Re-enactment Group website to learn more about it.

Please note WW is now played all week.

I was going through my Mom's things, and came across this news clipping from 1961. My Mom is Toni Demeter, and I like the answer that she gave to the reporter.

How would you answer? I think my own answer would be similar to my Mom's with the exception that I would like the money that some very famous people have accumulated.

Sorting through old photos, and my Mom's personal files have actually helped in my coping with her recent death. I feel closer to her, and my thoughts are turning to happy memories, instead of the intense pain that I felt since her diagnosis, and death.
