Happy New Year
Wow December is coming to an end, With fantasy and sunshine nudging me today, I went in search of Q to see what she was up to. I found her high up on a mountain playing with a duck on a frozen pond. She was not delighted at my appearance guessing that I had come to draw her away from her fun to do some work with me.
She did start to run away, or so I thought, but bless her little heart, she decided to play along.
Here she is after changing her hair .. chatting with a couple of the snow people we met along our way. The little snow boy was really happy that the weather has turned nice and cold.
This mother and daughter were on their way to a snowball “game”… I thought that Q took a bit too much interest..
As you can see, she was keen to take lessons on just how to make a good snowball so that it would make the biggest splatter. Q wisdom.. if you are going to do something, do it right…
Nothing would do but we had to visit her little reindeer pal for a big fat Holiday hug, you can see her gearing up to swoop down on him.. Q wisdom .. give a hug with lots of love, show you care…
Flying across the frozen landscape, we searched for the site where the 2018 welcoming party would be. Of course Q was the first to see it..
The stage is set, the decorations are out, now the count down will begin, for night-time to come, and the celebration hour to arrive.
Q what were you about to do? I am watching you… yes… you little missy Q you don’t mess with other people’s things. We have completed our mission, we have found a new year’s wish for you… Happy New Year everyone.. I’ll take Q skiing, that will keep her busy for now… =^_^= 
From Q aka Dymoon and all my characters.. Blessings to each and every one of you.

tourtiere!
I came home the other day to find this delicious looking tourtiere on the back veranda. Hmmm… the note was addressed to my husband and I, wishing us a peaceful and healthy holiday and new year. Instructions were typed on a paper and stuck to the Ziploc bag ….
I am not an expert on tourtiere, but this one knocked our socks off. Wow, the crust was so flakey and light, the filling itself was exquisite. We have had a very challenging and exhausting year, this homemade gesture of kindness was such an amazing lift for us. The angel who thought to share her gift/talent with us, is very appreciated. I have had meat pies and tourtieres before , NON made the impression this one did. Thank you!
My husband who has difficulty eating … is already anticipating his next piece. And .. I have learned that some cooks can do amazing wonders where others have failed.
If I had allowed previous experience to colour my thought process, I would have missed out on a tantalizing taste extraordinaire .. Bravo Carmen!!!
Happy week-end everyone…
looking back 2017
endings, beginnings
always another day

Each section represents a challenge or opportunity. Is there a storyline here, for me there is. What about you…
As another year draws to an end, a new one is waiting in the wings. The above will still be there, waiting to be found. Every day, something new is added to our personal collage. Some noticed, some not. Never-the-less, seen or not, they become part of the puzzle that is “life”
Pictures do tell a story..
PL Precept #1 Life IS Art
a door closes, one opens
In life we pass through many doors, some close and never open again, others close for the moment, and then reopen slowly to let the sunshine in, and the air is fresh and clear. Like a perfect sunny day in December should be.
A favourite flower to watch bloom, when it opens is a joy to behold. I have been overwhelmed by your kindness and caring. I felt it only right to share our news with you. smiles out at her community of caring hearts. The surgery was scheduled for 8, we were asked to be at the hospital for 6. At 5:15 my amazing husband wakes me “Q it is 5:15 I am ready to go, I’ll be in the truck waiting, can you be ready to leave for 5:30” Ladies I ask you… this is the faith he has in me. catch my wink and smile You all know I rose to the challenge and was ready with my coffee with minutes to spare.
And NO.. I am not going to tell you what I looked like.. LOL …. Let us just say I was presentable
Bottom line, the surgery was to have been from 8:30 to 4:30 and I was told that I likely would not be able to see him till after 6pm. I received a call mid afternoon, they were unable to proceed, they saw it had spread, did a biopsy and yes, it was more cancer cells. Rather than put him through a major surgery at this time, they checked the tumour that was there, saw that the previous treatments had dealt with it in a positive way. And “sewed” him back up. GOOD NEWS and some not so good news.
However, we are happy, we will only be apart a short time, and he will be home. Yes there is more treatments to come, and he and the medical team he deals with, will be there to coach and help us. ALWAYS GOD IS WITH US, every step of the way.
Myself personally, your consistent supportive encouragement and caring words have been such a blessing. Know that we/I truly appreciate each and everyone of you for what you bring into my life. Personally, online, from wherever, I love you all. You are all so special in your own way.
A flowers beauty will fade, but the last memory of the beauty in its BEING, will last forever. PL Precept #11 Always be with God

The only constant in life is Change

No, not my birthday, but I am sure it must be somebody’s birthday, somewhere. With my husband’s surgery fast approaching, I am finding that playing in my studio is a distraction that I find “restful” In the truck I have been listening to a story about King Henry the VIII’s last wife, Catherine Parr, and the court life she led. Interesting enough I guess, but I have decided I can do without the court drama.
The radio is either Holiday music, or if it is talk radio… the news, happenings of the day, budgets, politics and again, not what I call ambient for a soothing companion while I travel around doing last-minute errands.
On Sunday, the church was all festive with a decorated Holiday tree, even had lights. That was a nice surprise, I realized that each year, my husband has put up coloured lights on the garage, of course, this year, that hasn’t been done. Seeing the lights, reminded me that yes, it is the holiday season… but… for us… we will miss it all, it will be a quiet and hopefully healing one.
Snow is in the forecast, starting early evening, and, on into the night and most of tomorrow. For everyone wanting a white Christmas, looks like you just might get your wish.
May the joy of the holidays fill your homes with glad tidings. The merriment of shared laughter and tender moments be the ingredients of your days, and peace and serenity the balm of your nights.

PL Church
Good morning everyone. Tuesday, Dec. 5, and it is a mild day with rain. I heard that the mild weather will stick around for a couple more days. Somewhere I saw a big sun in one of the forecasts showing on most of the days of this week.
To me, our church here in Ottawa is beautiful. Clean lines, no clutter, you could be walking into a clinic, it seems so bare compared to the buildings I am entering especially at this time of year. As I walked towards the front of the church to pray, I caught a glimpse of colour. I paused to looked over.. WOW simplicity making a statement. Whether it was just the time of day, sun streaming in from the large windows but the play of light and shadows was such, that I rushed to get my phone.
A minister’s wife is someone in the PL ministry that supports and works with the minister at maintaining and providing a “home” for its members. This current minister’s wife is very quiet, speaks little English and never misses the opportunity to give you a warm welcome when she sees you. She is also creative and talented, there are little touches everywhere that turn up like the arrangement above, when you least expect it to. These little offerings are not only “a breath of fresh air” they brighten a day, and for this we really appreciate her silent gifts.
Her understanding of how to help a worn out or troubled “soul” whether with a cup of coffee, in my case, unlike everyone I only drink iced coffee, black. Yet, like magic a cold glass of ice with coffee will appear where I am working/sitting. It is humbling to experience such generosity of SELF. Over the time I have known her, I appreciate her goodness more and more. Could I be so selfless, so caring, to live every day for the good of others, in a country where the language is so different, never mind customs and cultural differences.
She makes me realize what I know, but don’t always practice, that “actions speak louder than words” In PL, it is said.. “Church is a spiritual home away from home” and a “place to find your Inner-Self”. I was at the church to pray and to ask for help in the coming days. I came away with such a wonderful feeling of “happiness” yes the praying was good, but the flowers touched me.. the knowing and recognition of what a blessing she is…Today is about saying thank you to a beautiful lady.
Without saying a word, this arrangement, spoke volumes.
