Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Thousand Islands National Park

When you think about visiting a National Park, you may think you have travel to an area far from where many people live to enjoy the park. While in some cases this is certainly true, when you think about planning a visit to Thousand Islands National Park in Ontario, you will find it is very possibly close to where you live!

Make Anytime Funtime with The Little Ginormous, Humongous, Hairy, One-Eyed Monster Boy's Adventures!

  

If you have young children in your life, then you know how important it is to read books to them - it sets them up for a lifetime of learning - and it is just fantastic to snuggle together and read a book together at bedtime - or anytime! I read many books to my children and most recently to my grands when they were little, and we enjoyed making up our own stories, too!

Summer Reading - Duck!

 

A few years ago I received a box of books from Candlewick Press - I am "re-sharing" one with you today for my Summer Reading posts which I absolutely loved!  Duck! by Meg McKinlay and illustrated by Nathaniel Eckstrom is most certainly a book you will want to have in your own library - and give to your grandchildren as well.

Do Something Nice!

Tomorrow is not actually, "Do Something Nice Day" - October 4th is, but every day is a day for us to do something nice, so let's celebrate it today - and tomorrow - and the day after . . . 

Daysoftheyear (dot) com says; "Sure, every day is a great day to do something nice! But this day, the practice of kindness is particularly relevant as it’s time for Do Something Nice Day!" I agree, but I also agree a day to focus upon doing nice things for others is a fantastic idea for sure!

On their site (at this link) they tell about some big and small ways people have been kind through the ages - such as -

A Summer of Mobility with the 4N1 from Miracle Mobility

Summer is here and  warmer weather, sunny days, beautiful blue skies are what I expect most days to be like for the coming two and a half months. Summer days just call for me to get out and enjoy it all, but I have MS and severe arthritis, so getting out and about does bring with it mobility challenges . . . or at least it did, but no longer! I have a wonderful 4N1 from Miracle Mobility and with it I am able to get out and about and enjoy the summer days!

Here are Some Interesting and Flat-out Amazing Water Facts . . .

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Terra Nova National Park

I think National Parks should be a place where you can see and experience things you may not typically see and experience in your day in and day out life.

I tend not to wonder or think about things like the air we breathe and the percentages of the "ingredients" such as nitrogen and oxygen, in it. But, when I read the following information about the air, I was amazed! Did you know . . .

Another New Top From Pair Eyewear - The Raspberry Pin Dot Split

Yes, I have another new topper for my glasses from the "Red, White, & BBQ Limited Edition Collection from Pair Eyewear -The Raspberry Pin Dot Split.  While I thought the top would be a deeper "raspberry" shade (it is more of a "red/orange"), and wouldn't mind if there were dots of different sizes in place of pin dots, I do like the colorful and unique look of this top - and truly love the pink gingham on the bottom portion of the split!

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Sirmilik National Park

I have learned while most of Canada's National Parks are in places where you and your family are able to go and enjoy the beauty of nature and experiencing new things together, some of Canada's National Parks are places where very few people will be able to go due to how remote and "wild" these places are. Today I'm writing about one such place - Sirmilik National Park which in order to visit it you have to be, "entirely self-sufficient, requiring arrangements with licensed local outfitters." Even if this does not describe you (it does not describe me), learning about Sirmilik National Park will leave you in awe of such a magnificent place!

Life on the Amazing Goldilocks Planet

 

I'm very happy to share about a book with you which will make a difference in the lives of the children you love.  Are you one of the grandmas (or grandpas) who are so blessed to have grown children who love and walk with God, and who are committed to hand down confident faith with you to the children you all love? Do your grandchildren want to go to church, want to talk about their walk with God, and embrace a confident faith of their own? Or, do you have grown children who, like so many their age, are no longer involved in church, who do not embrace a confident faith of their own, and/or grandchildren who tell you they are, "not into that church thing any more"?
