When I was in Teacher’s College, I was part of an immersion program where a selected group of about 25 students would spend a day a week in a local elementary school, focusing our learning on language arts in the classroom. It was funny, because even though we were in the school itself, the classroom [...]
I have been back from vacation for one week and think it’s time to express my gratitude for the days gifted to me…the ones allowed me the time to completely decompress. So, two thumbs up, Okanagan!
Thank you for:
Morning hikes.
The vineyards,
And subsequently, the vino.
Naps!
Peachland.
The Gasthouse.
Martini madness!
The boardwalk.
Sunshine and gardens.
The mountains.
Afternoon dance parties.
I have always found dreams and dreaming very interesting. Sleep, in general, is a great hobby of mine, and dreaming is a fantastic product of the sleeping.

A gentle little reminder, this poem, which I have heard before both in its [...]
Road trip to Blue Mountain. Singing along to ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’, terribly. Poor ears! Most of it was instrumental.
Life has become much busier in the last few weeks.
Added to the endless to-do list that I carry from day to day, is my very own: ‘Things That Shalt be Done to Have a Perfect Holiday Season’ list. From what I can gather, most people have a version of this list, perhaps not a physical, [...]
My name is Cynthia, and I am a Blogoholic.
2007 has been a major kick in my keister, with the theoretical frozen boot and all. I will get to all that, eventually, I am sure, but suffice it to say: it has been a bit of a schmozzle in many respects.
