Katherine Legge honored millions of Girl Scouts by wearing the Girl Scout logo on her helmet during the 96th Indianapolis 500 Mile Race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Legge wore the logo to call attention to Girl Scouts' ToGetHerThere campaign, and Legge’s partnership with the Girl Scouts that continues beyond Sunday’s race as she is Girl Scouts’ inaugural STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) Ambassador and Girl Scouts’ first motorsports athlete as a national spokesperson.

Art - from scraps!

Art - from scraps!

While making decorations for a shower, we were tossing our paper scraps into a bowl. 

And it became art!

Penny stopped in Canada

There are no more pennies being produced in Canada.

So Sheldon is going to have to round up to a nickel.

(love it!)

Better late than never?

About a year ago, I won this cute handknit clutch made by Gilda Knits of AHandmadePrincess on Etsy.

Isn't it cute?

I never did blog about it and I should have!

So here it is!

What is a good life?

What is a good life?

Is it its length or its authenticity and valour that make it rich and worthwhile?

Is it fame and money and fortune and political prowess that make it good?

To me, it is simply a good deed and a gracious action.

It is truth and friendship and failure and triumph.

It is making wrong turns and righting them.

It is starting over and it is ending without a struggle.

Is is everything decent in this world.

Flags of the World

There is a house here in London Ontario

(aka Canada's London)

... that displays a different world flag almost every day!

I try to guess the flags,

before I look at the sign in the window.

The sign tells you the country.

To the home-owner near Victoria and Maitland streets, I say thank you!



May Day

Happy May Day!
