I was standing on the Atherley Narrows Bridge in Orillia Ontario. There is a Perch Festival in Orillia. I didn't know about it until today but I was amazed at the number of boats on the lake. It was an overcast, slightly foggy morning. By the time I returned to take these pics the fog had lifted but http://suzysnow.blogspot.com/2007/05/perch.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (suzy snow)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931507.post-7375797788174462480Tue, 03 Apr 2007 20:25:00 +00002007-04-03T16:28:53.053-04:00http://suzysnow.blogspot.com/2007/04/spring-thaw.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (suzy snow)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931507.post-6132483992574450359Sat, 10 Feb 2007 03:28:00 +00002007-01-31T20:49:31.337-05:00Life is too short. That’s what everyone always says. How many people really believe that though? I know I said it myself many times throughout my life, but now that I am nearer to the end, I do believe it. I believe it whole-heartedly. It is that firm belief that has placed me here, right now, in this predicament or adventure. I prefer to look at this as an adventure.

He was five, the same age as me. We were also around the same height. Bobby had curly brown hair, was pudgy in a cuddly sort of way and very cute (or so I thought).I tricked Bobby into that first kiss by talking him into participating in a new game of "pretend". My idea was to re-enact Snow White. I would pretend to be Snow White and he http://suzysnow.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-first-kiss.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (suzy snow)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931507.post-7658748052241197171Tue, 23 Jan 2007 04:34:00 +00002007-01-22T23:56:49.910-05:00*The assignment instructions were to write about a significant event in your life and to try to evoke an emotional response from the reader.

They had decided that three people did not warrant running Writing the Short Story.

It seems that I have fallen into that bad routine of staying at work too late and then just going home and falling into bed.In September, when I took a little break from work, I promised myself to not do that anymore.

Thankfully Mom has supper holding for me, so that my free time is not wasted on preparing a meal. After a day of fielding questions, attending meetings, long drawn out conversations with peer on how to avert day-to-day disasters, I yearn for some mindless http://suzysnow.blogspot.com/2006/11/two-timing-addict.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (suzy snow)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931507.post-116083299002655496Sat, 14 Oct 2006 13:36:00 +00002007-03-08T17:43:19.650-05:00Everyone has heard that saying "a sucker is born every minute".  Well on July 22, 1961 at the precise moment I was born, VOILA!!  Yes a sucker. I am regarded as an intelligent individual at work and in my personal life but every now and then I experience what I refer to as my blonde moments and on Tues night it was no different.

I think I may have said the same thing the last time I went to an Eric Clapton concert but this one was better than the last.  The thing that set this concert apart, in my own opinion, was the addition of Robert Cray and Derek Trucks.http://suzysnow.blogspot.com/2006/09/clapton-ized-again.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (suzy snow)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931507.post-115811181214721951Wed, 13 Sep 2006 01:43:00 +00002006-09-12T21:43:32.836-04:00Deb and I are sitting at this lovely turquoise painted picnic table enjoying a rowdy game of Gin Rummy.

No, I'll lie here and try to relax.  Think of nothing and soon I'll be back to sleep.
