David working on the Piper Tri-Pacer’s brakes. If he were sitting here in ground school class with me while I learn about engine components, he’d nudge me and say, “Hey Gail, were you paying attention when I was tinkering?!?”

I’m posting another photo from Cuba as a little diversion from reading about airplane engines for my ground school class tomorrow night. This is the busiest time of the week for me: reading for class on Wednesday, work, race home, straight to class, three-hour class, arrive home [...]

I was supposed to go ice skating at Nathan Phillips Square yesterday, but it didn’t quite work out as planned. When I drove home on Friday night I noticed one of my headlights was out, but I decided to postpone changing it until the morning. When morning came ’round, I popped the hood and tried [...]

This squirrel wants anonymity. Is there a Squirrel Witness Protection Program?

A few pictures taken at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. I lived across from here for three months on the other side of Yonge Street and never went in, so I took advantage of a sunny afternoon and had a look.
The cemetery is popular for joggers (and [...]

As I mentioned in the previous post’s comments, I wasn’t actually the catsitter on Friday night, I just tagged along for the amusement. But as far as the cats were concerned, the more attention the merrier.
Well, Jack thought that, anyway:

Taking photos of black cats is a real challenge; usually the pictures show a blob of [...]

I just felt like posting a picture of us together, when we were happy and healthy and could take on anything, together. I want to remember that time, even though it’s gone now.
Tonight was Week #5 of the therapy group, and people passed around photos and talked about their loved ones. Thursday [...]

… post my itinerary to Vancouver!
(I’m on my first 15-minute break during the three hours of instruction.)
I bought the ticket in the wee hours of the morning because there’s an Air Canada seat sale on, and I thought it might drive up the ticket demand and prices for Easter. It’s a busy time, and [...]

Cuban kids don’t have Playstations or a basement full of sporting equipment, they all play outside. It was wonderful to see kids engaging in everything from baseball to football (soccer) to basketball to competing with each other to who can do better flips in the air.
This was my first full day in Havana, and [...]

This is a momentous occasion. I haven’t baked anything for a long while, since before David passed away. It was an activity we enjoyed together. We used to bake cookies in batches with the intention of freezing them, then we’d end up gorging on them while watching movies. It was ritualistic overeating when it came [...]
