time for a little catch up ...

This year, it's been fun
to share with you some of my favourite things.
In the meantime, there have
been a lot of Not Favourite things happening,
but of course that is how life goes. for everyone.


September had its share of Life Events.


I am mourning the passing of a very
special, long time friend.
Marjorie was a fascinating, interesting
and amazingly stylish woman.
She will be missed by many.

On a shiny and wonderfully
happy note, a great friend
has just had a baby.
Congratulations to Mona!

September also had its share
of life's .... interesting challenges,
such as plumbing gone awry.

Questions arose such as ...
why doesn't the water come out?
and: How much DOES it cost to
hire a plumber ?



So to illustrate my
plumbing excitement,
this is what the wall looks
like without the plumbing "hardware".
and lets always hope that the
plumbers can get to the problem
without having to break open the tiles on
the wall.

Oh, and by the way,
in case you really do wonder:
it's $175.00 for a plumber
to come to your house, and $175.00 for
every lovely hour that they spend at your house.
