What can I say -- it happens!! We spend at least 1/3 of our day, 5 days a week, at our jobs. Infatuation is a common occurrence that sometimes develops into something deeper. Some businesses have policies in place that prohibit "dating" a co-worker, others will move one of the individuals to another position once the relationship becomes public knowledge. But the heart never listens to policy. ;) Who better to describe it than Bonnie Raitt. Enjoy!

The 1000 Islands archipelago is shared by Canada and the USA. Located in the St Lawrence River between the Province of Ontario and New York State, its islands officially number 1,793. To be considered one of the "1000 Islands", an island had to be at least one square foot in size, be above water level all year round, and support at least one living tree. As you'll see, some of the islands are just big enough to hold a one-room cottage, while others, like Heart Island, are large enough to accommodate a castle and all its trimmings! Boldt Castle, on Heart Island, has a history worth exploring. Enjoy!

Tiki and Rio are Green-cheeked Conures, and the latest additions to my sister's Ark -- she already has two cats, two dogs, two geckos, and two chinchillas... lol They are about 8 months old and very sweet, except when it comes to sharing their favourite treat - a green grape! The song is another from the list of '70's "one hit wonders" -- Gimme Dat Ding, by The Pipkins. Enjoy!

I love a small town agricultural fair! From the smell of the hay and its varied inhabitants, the chatter of exhibitors getting their prized livestock ready for the ring, the noise of the midway rides and games, to the wasps vying for my cotton candy, I can’t think of anything not to like! Unfortunately the expansion of our cities has engulfed many of these communities and country fairs are diminishing. Enjoy my view of one of southern Ontario’s community fairs. For the record, the Heavy Horse Pull was won by “Charlie and Ike”. With a combined weight somewhere under 3400 pounds, they successfully pulled the sled 15 feet. The sled and its concrete contents weighed 9000 pounds! – more than double the weight of these well-trained athletes. Check out their cleats!

This Canadian National Historic Site is not really a “castle” at all. Dundurn Castle was built by Sir Allan Napier MacNab, and completed in 1835 at a cost of $175,000.00. Seventy-two rooms made up its 18,000-square-footage (1,700 square metres) and 42 of them are now open to the public after being restored to what they would have been in 1855. Sir John A. MacDonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, and England’s King George VII were among those entertained there. Some interesting facts from the tour: -- Dundurn Castle was the first home in the province to have gas lighting and running water. The water was pumped through the house by a young boy who earned $2.00 per month for his service. -- The “Scullery Maid” was a young girl of 9 or 10. She washed the dishes from the entire household’s seven meals each day. Her wage -- $1.30 per month. -- Refined sugar was delivered in a solid, paper-wrapped “cone”. It was shaved or chipped off when needed. The cost of a cone of sugar - $75.00. The cost of a new home - $100.00. -- Sir Allan MacNab was often accused of treating his servants too well. :) The Victorian Kitchen Garden was a project undertaken by the City of Hamilton as part of the restoration. This formal garden is walled in Scottish fashion, and has a series of walkways and beds full of fruit, flowers, herbs and vegetables that would have been grown during Sir Allan NacNab’s lifetime at Dundurn. The garden is maintained the “old fashioned way” – by hand, and all natural.

An amazing young man asked me if I knew this song. I most certainly did, though it wasn't one that I had ever thought of working with. This was a tough one. Tracy Chapman's unmistakeable voice and incredible lyrics take us on a somewhat familiar journey -- the struggle to break away from a way of life that often is repeated, generation after generaton. This character's hope never fades, and I like to think that there is a happy ending. Fast Car – Tracy Chapman You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living You see my old man's got a problem Live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in the market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way

This is just a little video that I took of Canadian country music artist, George Canyon and a young fan playing "What's the next line" with what was supposedly her favourite George Canyon song. I'd say she was a little bit "star-struck", and may have also had a bit of stage fright. :) This concert was one of many stops on his "The Sky Is Not The Limit" tour in support of Jeuvenile Diabetes. Sorry for the shaking -- it's hard to hold a camera over people's heads! LOL

War separates loved ones -- spouses from each other, parents from their children, and turns couples into singles. Luckily for most, this is just temporary. This one's all about the reunions and the re-affirmation of love that's been waiting "A Long, Long Time". Support your Troops, AND their Families. ~~ Lynn

This vid is from last November! For some reason, I neglected to upload it here until now. Better late than never!! Enjoy! We have a saying here, "Don't poke the bear!" When people are anticipating how they'll weather the first snow storm of the season, it's not always wise to tease from the warm and sunnier west coast of Canada. This lesson was learned by a co-worker when her office was decorated with aluminum foil, and love. She did apologize, but it was too little, and definitely too late! lol ;-)

Anyone who has camped or boated around lakes in Ontario or British Columbia, in fact all across North America, will have heard the haunting call of these amazing birds. This one is for Susan (Investigate2) whose timely gift prompted me to refresh my knowledge and share a bit of what I found – the need for concern and more importantly, conservation for these beautiful birds. Loons or “Divers” as they are also known are another species that are losing their fight for survival. Elevated mercury concentrations are consistent in more and more adult birds found dead each year. Sinkers used by fishermen, whether consumed by the fish or picked up from lake bottoms, break down in the loons and are absorbed into their systems, the end result being death from lead poisoning. Another factor in their declining numbers is our invasion on their nesting grounds. The nests, in which only two eggs are laid, are shallow and as close to the water’s edge as they can be. The wake from boats and jet skis washes many nests away – including the contents. Loons only nest once per season. If you’re boating or fishing this summer, please be considerate. Use non-lead sinkers, and reduced your speed and wake near the shoreline and when approaching any loons on the water. Let’s do what we can to be able to enjoy the call of the loon for generations to come.

What can you say about the Doobie Brothers that hasn’t already been said? These California rockers with their soulful vocals rose to the top of the charts in the ‘70’s. Despite many changes in band members, a few of which went on to successful solo careers, they continue to perform their hits such as “Black Water”, “Taking It To The Streets”, “Listen To The Music”, “China Grove”, “Rockin’ Down The Highway” and many, many more to appreciative audiences around the world. If you don’t own a Doobie Brothers album/cd, what are you waiting for?? ;) Long Train Runnin’ Down around the corner A half a mile from here You can see them long trains run And you watch them disappear Without love Where would you be now Without love You know I saw Miss Lucy Down along the tracks She lost her home and her family And she won't be comin' back Without love Where would you be right now Without love Well the Illinois Central And the Southern Central freight Gotta keep on pushin' mama 'cause you know they’re runnin' late Without love Where would you be now - now, now, now Without love Well the pistons keep on churnin' And the wheels go 'round and 'round And the steel rails are cold and hard For the miles that they go down Without love Where would you be right now Without love Where would you be now

This song by Canada's Gordon Lightfoot is somewhat autobiographical. At one point in his life, Lightfoot wore a "Rose Tattoo" with the name of a special lady on his arm. But not all relationships are as lasting as a tattoo, and it has since been removed. Tattoos have been a part of our history and culture since the Neolithic times, as marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talismans for protection, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. This "body art" has certainly gained in popularity as personal forms of expression in the past few years, with television turning tattoo artists into Hollywood celebrities. Tattoo -- by Gordon Lightfoot Whatever you think of me I'm still your friend So other than nothin' what's new The water 's still flowin' Through the rose on my skin This here tattoo is for you The boys at the parlor downtown Didn't waste anytime puttin' it down Time has been wastin' away I can see it Go sailin' on by as it slips through my fingers The bow and the wave never wait for tomorrow They just keep on rollin' as straight as an arrow Good night Girl of my dreams You get better each day I wish I could see you somehow Girls that I love is there no other way This here tattoo is for now I'd been out drinkin' all day I got carried away at the parlor last night This summer rose is for you it's no wonder I bothered to wander back into the parlor It's red and in bloom and it's more than one color It lives on forever for just a few dollars Good night Whatever you think of me I'm still your friend So baby whatever you do Now that it's taken its permanent home This here tattoo is for you The boys at the parlor downtown Didn't waste any time puttin' it down Time has been wastin' away, you know time doesn't Wait for nobody to find what they're after It just keeps on rolling on down the deep canyons And through the green meadows into the broad ocean Good night Whatever you think of me I'm still your friend So other than nothin' what's new The water's still flowing Through the rose on my skin This here tattoo is for you The water's still flowin Through the rose on my skin This here tattoo is for you
