Getting back to work..........

It's the first day back to work for most everyone and here I sit, in my little office in my little corner of the room and work on getting an administrative/design position.

I'm working on a website for a small sailing business and trying to catch up on all the social media happenings I missed during the holidays!  Facebook has changed it's look (again) and even though I'm hearing a few complaints, I'm going to upgrade my site to comply with the new changes.  It's important to go with the flow. 
If it's your first day back at work, enjoy the day of getting back into the swing.  
It's been a good holiday and this is going to be a great 2012!

Wrap up to the Holidays!

Christmas and New Years has come....and gone, and it was terrific! I enjoyed time with family and friends and as an aside - I try and creatively wrap all my gifts in a pretty special way using material. This year, I'd like to try and promote myself and my gift wrapping a bit to see where it can lead me as a side gig! 

Being a frequent "yard sailor" (and if you know me, you'll get the pun), I try and pick up little nick-knacs that might look special on a gift. 

Seems my family really enjoys getting my extra-special wrappings!  

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season! Back to the grind as they say! 

Namaste 

over-out

happy holidays!

may peace, joy and love surround you always    love Petra and Megan

oops! it's been awhile

Where does the time fly?

 








I've been busy........... making Christmas wreaths like my dad used to do......making gifts for Sinterklauss and Christmas.....and then wrapping them in my extra special way!

And enjoying the cold sunny days taking in the eagles in Harrison!

The holiday season is wonderfully busy and I'm sure we're all running around a little more than usual.  I'm still a firm believer in "buy-nothing" and my family enjoys a really fun time opening all the gifts we made for each other.  That's where we find the joy of giving. Right now I've pillaged the forests and am coming up with this cool little gem of a Christmas tree ornament.

Stay tuned.  I appreciate you checking in!

Gourmet dinner with friends

My friend Marla invited a few gals to dinner last night and seriously folks, I'm the lucky one to have this lovely friend!  Marla's place is a little eclectic with silk throws and tassels and all things interesting! Look at our appetizers!  Lovely bread and olives and this amazingly beautiful tomato/basil leaf/and cucumber on toothpicks bathed in balsamic vinegar. And wasabi humus freshly made. We all collected in the kitchen nook as Marla moved the dining table into the living area and isn't that just so perfect as the hub is always in the kitchen.

We chatted, drank wine and Marla cooked a sumptious meal!  It surprises me that we can eat all night when we gather at Marla's place.  Bravo for girls getting together and doing their lovely thing!  Heres to women everywhere just hanging out. It was a lovely evening!

Pepsi dedication day

There are so many times when I think of my dear cat Pepsi.  I'm dedicating today as "Dear Pepsi" day!  

I LOVED my cat. She had the misfortune of having diabetes for the last 4 years of her life and twice daily I gave her insulin shots.  It wasn't so bad really and never expensive enough that I would consider an alternative.  She was really good to me.  She taught me unconditional love.  Anyone who has given love will always be remembered in love.

I have so many pictures of her around and I'm very thankful for them.  I remember so many fond times with Pepsi.  She had to go places with me and her constant "meows" during the car rides made me cringe and yet laugh.  She was persistant but I knew she was ok.

The moment I walked in the door, she was there at my feet.  As if she instinctively knew my footsteps up the stairs.  She would immediately drop down and roll over!  Exposing her tummy for me to rub.  I'd laugh, drop all my possessions and give her what she and I both so loved.  There was never an argument, or anything but devotion on both our parts.

I so loved my dear cat.

"Dear Pepsi" you have been missed.

sailing in silly hats......

This afternoon I went sailing!

It was such a gorgeous day I did all my work this morning and my friend Andy said "let's go"   Ohhh it was great being out there.  I have missed it.

We live in a wonderful city here in Vancouver!  Wait till there's snow in the mountains............then it's really cool being out there.

Ahhhhhh this would be my life!
