Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
Wordless Wednesday
My neighbor asked me to photograph some of her flowers the other day and this was one of the ones that I choose to take a photo of.
This is a lovely orangey red annual Salvia. They come in many colors and are quite pretty when they are in full bloom like this one is.
I’ve got to plant some of my pots and baskets with annual flowers. I haven’t done that yet!

I did end up watching most of the hockey game last night. As I said Chris and I ended up cleaning out our freezer last night due to a thawing problem we had earlier in the week so the hockey game was put on pause on the DVR while we did that.
By the time we finished throwing out food from the freezer and making dinner it was definitely time for me to relax. Now, watching hockey when I’m trying to relax isn’t all that relaxing but I did end up getting into the game towards the third period.
It was a close game with the Senators scoring the first goal, then by the third period the game was tied 2 to 2, but in the last few minutes Anaheim scored another goal and won the game 3 to 2.
Oh well, that’s ok. There’s still possibly six games left to play. Ottawa could still win.
You know, if I complain about watching hockey at this time of year Chris turns around and looks at me and says something like “But this could be the last hockey game of the year!” You know, like there’s nothing else to live for. It’s kind of funny.
My husband has always enjoyed playing golf, but really hasn’t had the time to get out and play for a couple of years. His birthday is coming up in July and when I saw that the CoastalGolfaway.com site offered myrtle beach golf vacation packages I thought to myself, this might be a great idea for Chris’ birthday gift.
The prices seem quite reasonable. If I’m reading this correctly it looks like we could go to Myrtle Beach, and if we got one of the vacation packages we’d stay for three nights in a fully equipped villa with four beds (each villa has four beds), and we could play on the following courses – Thistle, Tigers Eye, Panthers Run and Players Club. The package listing only went up to May 20th, but it looks like that would cost about $436 per golfer.
That seems like a pretty good price for four rounds of golf and a three night stay in a fully equipped villa. The price apparently includes the green and cart fees plus all taxes. Seems like a pretty sweet deal for anyone that enjoys the game of golf!
Well it’s the first night of the Stanley cup finals! Go Ottawa Senators!!!!
I like hockey, especially if it’s my hometown team that wins, but I’m not all that into watching it.
I’ve had a lot of work to finish up in the last 24 hours and I’m getting close to having it all done so I was looking forward to just relaxing for the rest of the evening. Unfortunately, since I’m not all that into watching hockey on TV I think I’m going to end up working on my sites for a while.
My husband on the other hand managed to put two window air-conditioners in and he’s now glued to the tv set. Sigh ….
If I want to relax I’m going to have to watch hockey ….
