What is it about feeding people that gives us so much joy? Food in our family is a way of caring for the well being of our loved ones and expressing love. My husband loves to cook. It gives him a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment. We are so lucky to be able to feed ourselves and family every day and not worry about where are next meal comes from. Yes we complain about the price of food these days but for most of us we are still able to put food on the table. Sometimes we have to get creative to stretch the dollar but I still fondly remember some of the comfort food we prepared at university. Chicken livers and peppers over rice was a staple along side macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and meat sauce (from a jar), grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, homemade chilli and eggs and toast.

There’s a photo show coming up in May 2026 and I was considering entering these photos for that show. Do you have a favourite?







…this week’s number is 227
This week’s number brings back memories of a visit to the High Park Zoo, an art exhibit at the ROM, a day at the opera with my good friend, LInda, several of my art projects from years ago, friends and family, photos from my retirement party and pictures from the cottage.

…for this week’s Thursday Trios
Last week and this week has been super busy for me. I was burning the midnight oil to finish making my gnomes for the Holiday Market on Dec. 10th. I also assembled over 100 new photo cards. The actual market was a little disappointing because the bad weather kept a lot of people home, so the attendance was low. Despite that I did make sales that day and since then I’ve sold more cards and most of my gnomes.
