It's a very wet Sunday, but that's ok.  At least it was dry (even sunny!) when Em and the Reynolds Band were playing at Saanich City Hall yesterday for the Remembrance service!  Last year was terrible weather, but this year was cool but dry.  Much appreciated, Mother Nature!

These past few weeks I have been thinking a great deal about depression.  ( Read more... )

It's been ages since I last posted to my journal, because I am SO busy!  Yes, I'm very busy.   I haven't run over any woodland creatures since my last post, thank heavens!  I've been TOO busy to chase deer, I guess.

We have been busy preparing for our External Evaluation (the Ministry of Education evaluates us every six years) and it has taken lots ( Read more... )

Believe it or not, three deer tried to commit suicide on my car tonight!  I swear to...whatever...that they weren't there one minute and then they were.  Emily and Chris can confirm -- they didn't even see them till I'd slammed on my breaks and squealed to a stop!!  At least I didn't actually hit them this time.

The woodland creatures are out to get ( Read more... )

Well, I knew it would happen sometime!  I hit a deer last night, driving through Mt. Doug park to meet Meg and Travis at Starbucks.  Fortunately, the car didn't sustain any damage, which means the deer probably isn't too much the worse for wear...I hope!  I got out and tried to find it, but it had high-tailed it into the bush and it was dark and ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a very busy week and I haven't had time to post lately.  I've been spending all my time collecting money so that I could shave my head.  Hmmm....something wrong with that, I think!

Nevertheless, the head shaving happened on Friday afternoon at school and it was great!  We had a number of staff members, parents, children and friends ( Read more... )

Very appropriate title, as Sue and I just watched "One More Kiss" -- a very sweet, sad movie made long ago and starring a VERY young Gerard Butler.  A little eye candy is always a good thing, I say!  I did shed a few tears -- what else is new -- so this song is appropriate...Into The West, I mean, which is on my iTunes right now ( Read more... )

Hi everyone!  It's been a busy, but productive day ( Read more... )

Oh, that's mean!

I had a wonderful entry all typed up -- pages and pages (well, paragraphs at least) and they went missing so now all you're going to get is this short, silly entry.

I love you all,
Penny

That must be the longest journal title ever!  Well, it's actually Sunday afternoon and I am feeling lazy but happy!  I have the laundry almost done, a stew doing it's thing on the stove and a new Amazing Race starting tonight!  Yippee!!

We had rain today.  Not chucking it down rain...just a gentle, "I'm back" kind of autumn rain.  It was quite ( Read more... )

What a great day today.  It started at 8:30 am with coffee in bed and a chat with Sue.  Then we had a great surprise when Bridge brought Sheira over for a visit.  A very pregnant and happy, Sheira, I might add!  Then Em and I had to rush downtown to meet Muff, Doug, Jesse, Meg and Travis for lunch (thank again for that, by the way!).  We had a very ( Read more... )
