Halifax Bound

Tomorrow morning I am heading to the new Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market to sell my wares. Very excited to see this fabulous new building and be surrounded by all kinds of local gourmet goodies. Not quite as excited to be on the road at 4:30a.m, but for this I have recruited my most wonderful husband/chauffeur.…

My Sumo Wrestler

You just can’t make this stuff up. Yesterday our son Dusty decided out of the blue that he would really like to be a sumo wrestler. He has the word a little confused and calls it souvenir wrestling. He assures us not for real when he grows up because they have some bad rules like…

The Big Ex Revisited

It’s that time of year again. The Big Ex is in town. There was no earthly way to avoid it. Although we went on Tuesday it has taken me until today (Saturday) to be able to write about it. That’s because my son had that kind of impressive kicking and screaming meltdown in the middle…

The CBC Interview

O.K, My technological skills are really being tested. It took about a month, but I finally figured out how to convert the DVD of my CBC interview for the internet. Just a refresher- Queen Elizabeth visited Canada, beginning her visit in Nova Scotia and the CBC contacted me to do an interview about hats in…

The Queen and Baby ducklings

What a whirlwind of a week. The CBC did come to my house on Monday to interview me. I would say I was sickly nervous for a few days prior, but when I woke up Monday morning I just calmed down and went into performance mode. Colleen Jones was really fun. She is something of…
