Thought Filled Thursday: April 26, 2012

I love this, and wish I could embrace it more.

Sometimes it is scary to let your inner uniqueness show....don't you think?

Is there something about yourself that you keep hidden for fear of being laughed at?

Tuesday Tune In: Levon Helm (May 26, 1940 – April 19, 2012)

A little nod to a wonderful artist.

The world lost a true talent recently, so I felt it only right to dedicate a post to him.

You will be missed.

Thank you.

Enjoy everyone!

One Year Ago

Hello again!

I took the weekend off. It was beautiful here. Bright and Sunny.

I wanted to point out what was happening a year ago....cause I hear weather related whining and it irritates me. Today we are hitting a high of 27*C......so nice, summer like weather. But closer to the end of the week there is rumblings of wet and slushy snow. I found this photo in my April 2011 file, taken at my parents place.

Breath people....Breathe.

Tuesday Tune In: Flight of the Conchords (Jenny)

My Sister reminded at Easter about the Flight of the Conchords....Fabulously Funny!

So I wanted to share with you.
Picture it a conversation between a man and a man(woman). :o)

Enjoy!

Monday Monday...

How does Monday feel to you?

I, like many, dislike Monday.

What I dislike the most is that it means back to work for my husband. I love having him around on the weekends.

We go on day trips to the mountains, or hang out at the zoo after a fabulous brunch. Monday signals that snap back to reality.

While I understand this can be viewed as a bit of a downer post...

I would like to add something.

Having a Grateful Monday instead!

I came across this blog. 

Loved the idea of stating what I am grateful for.

I want to try and remember all that I am grateful for on Mondays. 

Cause it may make it easier to tolerate them.

My Monday Grateful List:

1) Happy healthy children.

2) Loving family moments. (Sunday Brunch at the Zoo!)

3) Getting the news that I am going to be an Auntie......to a BOY!!

Congrats Sister & Brother-in-Law!!

Titanic

Titanic

April 15, 1912
RIP

-------------------------

For the last few days I, as well as my family, have been thinking about the sinking of the Titanic.

It has always been such an incredible story to me. When the James Cameron movie came out it really allowed you to feel the loss yourself. Such loss, Such sadness.

Last year my daughters class spent one week at Science School during the time when the Titanic Exhibition was at our local Science Centre. She became drawn to the stories of those on board, and learned everything she could. I had the good fortune to go to see where the Titanic was built in Belfast. I told my traveling companion (my Mom) that we should take a Titanic Tour while in Belfast.

I decided for today's post I would share some photos that I took while on this tour.

Thomas Andrews Home in Belfast.

The staircase in his home. The first 'Grand Staircase'

Please excuse the stuffies.....my children gave me some other traveling companions to take everywhere.

The Harland and Wolff Offices.

The Drawing Office where the plans for Titanic were done by Thomas Andrews.

It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to check this all out.

If you ever find yourself in Belfast check out Titanic Tours Belfast with Susie Millar.

She has an amazing personal connection to share with you.
