Holy HOT batman!!!

It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.  Ok.. I can deal with that, after all I come from Windsor Ontario.  Humid Central.  BUT and a HUGE BUT in Windsor I had A/C.  Air conditioning, Airco, cold breeze, however you want to say it, my mom’s house was a little icebox.  I also had an air [...]

Baarn on the Eem (seeing double?)

Friday was a great day here in Amersfoort, the sun was shining, the wind was at a light breeze, and there wasn’t a cloud in sight.  Well at least for a little bit.  So Frank, Stoney and myself went for a little bike ride out to Baarn.   Baarn is a smaller city about 15 minutes [...]

Doggy in a basket

Stoney can now join the ranks of the Dutch by being able to enjoy a nice bike ride!  The other day we bought him a basket that attaches to the front of my bike.  I have him harnessed inside with a towel down for a little comfort.  The basket is big enough for him to [...]

Amsterdam

On the weekend Frank and I went into Amsterdam for the day, we met up with some new and old friends from a travel website I belong to.  Virtual Tourist is a website where you can go on and do some investigating for a trip anywhere in the world.  You get great tips from other [...]

So this morning was spent uploading… take a look to the right and click the pictures to get you to my Flickr account.  There are some recent ones [...]

Day 30

Melissa’s log:  The rain hasn’t stopped; it has been raining now for 2 weeks.  The sun no longer shines.  The grass may be green, the plants growing, the streets washed clean but the dog now stinks, the cat won’t go outside. 
The rain comes in sheets, in drizzle, in spurts. 
Everything is wet.  Cold.  Grey. 
I can’t dry [...]

Thanks!

I had a record day yesterday for visitors on my blog, I noticed that most of the readers coming through were from Tammy, who linked me from her site the other day on one of her blogs.  It was great to see my little stat bar rise through out the day.  So thanks again Tammy [...]

Some like it in butter…others a nice tomato sauce.

I had a visitor in my garden the other day, for most people it would be gross disgusting thing that needs to be taken care of.  In my family we consider it dinner.  But don’t worry,  this one survived, no polenta for him.

New additon to the blog

If you take a peek to the right ———–>  yup over there and go down a little, no a bit further… little more.. ok.. there that should be good.  See the pictures?  Well if you click on those pictures it will take you to a site called “flickr” and on there you can see the [...]

Where’s Noah?

This is what I get to look forward to for the next few days, mind you it’s been this way already for nearly a week.

This is what’s happening in my hometown… notice the difference in the little sun pictures compared to the little cloud pictures??? 

Now normally the rain wouldn’t be a big thing, except when [...]
