13 Reasons why I can’t wait for Spring

February 15, 2007 by Tricia

Thirteen Things about why I can’t wait for spring!

This is Thursday Thirteen #34

I can’t wait for Spring because …

1…. It’s freakin’ cold!!!

2…. Too much snow.

3…. I want to get outside for daily walks but between the subzero temperatures and snow I need to wait for better weather.

4….I love the soft yet bright greens of Spring.

5…. I’m going stir crazy stuck inside this house.

6….We get together with our friends more often when the weather is nicer.

7…. I can get in the garden.

8…. I’m dying to see the first green leaves of my crocus’ and other Spring flowers poke up through the earth.

9…. I love barbeque’s! It’s too cold and windy to BBQ outside in January and February (sometimes March too).

10….I want to go bicycling. It’s not as much fun in the snow.

11…. I can sit outside in my garden with my laptop and do my computer work.

12…. maybe I’ll be feeling good enough to get back to work by Spring?

13…. Spring is my favorite month – full of new life.

I used to play the piano

February 15, 2007 by Tricia

When I was growing up in Ottawa we had an old Baldwin Piano in our home. I’m not sure if my brothers ever had piano lessons but I know that my sister and I both had lessons for several years.

I think that offering music lessons to a child is a good idea. You never know what hidden talents your child might have until you explore them. You might have a musical genius in your home and not even be aware of it.

My husband is like that. He became interested in guitar when he was just 9 years old, and lucky for him his parents listened to his wishes and they started him on guitar lessons. He is a musical genius as far as I’m concerned and many others agree with me. He can play 13 different instruments!

Me on the other hand? Well, the piano lessons were fun, and I just loved our piano. I suppose I loved antiques even as a child. (yes I was an odd kid) However I never really did catch on to the piano all that well. I can play a tune but it’s certainly not inspiring as it is when my husband plays.

If you’d like to take music lessons or start your child with some music lessons why don’t you visit ClickForLessons.com. They’ve been in business for 16 months and in no time at all have become the nations largest site for matching great teachers with good students. They match people who desire music, singing, dance, art, acting and language lessons. Give them a try.

Magestic Trees

Wordless Wednesday

I thought I’d post another one of Jordans photos today. Perhaps I should really be posting something to do with Valentines day, but I figured that a lot of other people would be doing that and you know how I like to be different.


Jordan had no way of knowing when he sent me this photo that I love taking photographs of trees. Why? I’m not really sure, but they just seem to speak to me. So I was amazed and pleased when I opened my email the other day and discovered this beautiful photo from Jordan sitting there.

I love it. Don’t you?

My friend Jordan

February 13, 2007 by Tricia

I seem to have made a new friend last week.

Jordan and his boat I was checking my email and I read a note from Jordan that said he’d found my blog interesting and inspiring. Wow. That was interesting to hear so I kept reading. Then he said “living on the end of the world ” he’d noticed my existence and would be pleased if I’d notice his.

He had included a beautiful photograph of, I assume, himself sitting near a kayak I believe, on an outcrop above what appears to be the ocean. Jordan had included two links to his sites, MJL Photography and a site that I’ll simply call happiness, both being photography related so I naturally assumed that he’d discovered my photoblog. He was hoping that we might exchange links.

I wrote back thanking him for his note, and complimented him on his gorgeous photos that I’d discovered on his two sites. You really must visit his websites, his photography skills are amazing and the photos within are jaw droppingly lovely.

This man needs to be promoted and should be earning some money with his photography. That’s truly how talented I think he is.

Much to my surprise I soon discovered that it was this blog that he’d enjoyed and found inspiring. We’ve been corresponding ever since and I believe he’s sent me at least two photo’s each day.

I’ve enjoyed each and everyone of his photos. I love landscape photography, and almost anything natural and the majority of the photos that he’s sent have fallen into those categories.

I believe that many of his photos are from his home Country of Poland. I never would have imagined that Poland was so lovely but it most obviously is quite a pretty place.

Jordan has been very kind and has given me permission to share some of his photography with you. All of the photos that I’ve included in this post were taken by Jordan and of course are his property. Please do not copy them for your own use without asking his permission first – please visit his website if you wish to speak with him. Actually I think anyone who enjoys photography or looking at beautiful photos should visit his site. Please do tell him that Tricia sent you if you visit.

From time to time I may include one of Jordan’s photos in my posts. They are just so beautiful. I want to show them off for him.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed Jordan’s Photos.

They killed Eric Delco?

February 13, 2007 by Tricia

What the heck?

Ok, they didn’t, but I sure thought that they did for the first 5 minutes or so of the show.

Did you guys watch CSI Miami?

It was touch and go for CSI Eric Delco, but I looks like he’s going to make it although it seems he has some brain damage.

Speaking of brain damage … that’s what I don’t get. In the preview for next weeks episode I see that Eric is back. He was standing in a white lab coat over some photographs, and in another scene dressed in street clothes with a serious look on his face.

How could he be back by next weeks show?

My sister had surgery in 2004 and ended up with a hemorrhage in her neck that slowly cut off her oxygen over a matter of hours while the nurses in the hospital ignored her. She eventually went into respiratory arrest after bleeding out twice and that’s when the nurses finally called for help. Duh!

My sister ended up in a coma for 5 days and slowly woke up barely able to talk, or walk or move her hands. She improved greatly but still has a lot of difficulty and deals with memory loss. She has her own business and improved enough to go back to work but it’s much harder for her now.

So how can Delco be back on the show next week? Huh?

Lets get real here.

I know all of the CSI shows have been losing viewers. I guess that’s why they felt they had to scare us into thinking one of the best characters on CSI Miami was going to be killed off … but come on, at least give him a substantial recovery period.

Make it believable!
