Ode to the Ofuro
Speaking of Leanne and Rob... I was fortunate to have an article printed in the May/June issue of Cottage Magazine about the newlywed's ofuro, a Japanese-inspired wooden hot tub they received as a wedding gift. Seriously, if you are ever thinking of getting a hot tub, you have to dip into one of these..... 
Wedding Bells were ringing
Eeek. I am so far behind on my posts that I thought I would start with one that is over a year old. Truth is, I was working on some wedding photos last week, which reminded me of my favourite wedding photos from Leanne and Rob's Mayne Island ceremony last May. And... since I haven't shared them yet, here you go.

Scrimp or Splurge?
Personally, I prefer both!
A good friend Anita launched a new website, scrimporsplurge.ca, which I love. Being a relatively new Victorian (okay, it's been a few years now, so not that new) I still have much to learn about the ins and outs of where-to-go, what-to-do and who-to-buy-from about town. Cool tips and tricks from Anita? I'll take them gladly!
Oh, and check out the photo gallery of Victoria scenes, featuring little Hugo Spence, not to mention a few other Susan Rybar photos.

Mini-retreats for minimum amounts of time
My friend Tracy gave me a copy of The Mini-Retreat Solution, a book about taking small relaxing retreats from our everyday life. After flipping through the book a few times, I found a few I like:

Zappa skanking
Saw this quote from Frank Zappa on the back of a shirt at the ska fest today.
"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."
Made me think. Made me think about how normal my life is.
Hmmm....
(still thinking)
Hmmmm....
It's hot.
Thinking it's time to hit Thetis Lake for a swim.
Then perhaps listen to some more Danny Rebel and the KBG.

Love this!
From my friend Margaret's Facebook status:
"So the barista at the coffee shop at my hotel this morning was all of about 20 years old. He told me he is in the midst of buying a typewriter to improve his writing. Said that with a typewriter, you have to think before you write. Wise words from a young lad."

Beach Party, pride style!
Walking for a good cause.
