My mother has a couple Irish fellows staying with her (well, they’re off to Havana tomorrow for a week) who are SO NICE and we just love them to death. Anyway, my mom has a couple bird feeders on her back deck that were just flooded with wildlife. Tons of goldfinches, house finches, morning doves, [...]

Veronica’s house
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, love, we have funI spent about every other weekend at this house from the age of 4 through to about 14. It’s probably the most influential house of my entire life, more so than any house I ever lived in. This is the house I think of when I smell pancakes frying, use a white board, look at [...]

A new student at Hogwarts?
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, hahaI got misdirected emails a long time ago, people who just guessed at their friend’s email address and wound up with me. I always tried to be polite and redirect them-or at least tell them to try something different. I got another one the other day and felt playful. Here is what I originally got [...]

CNE too
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, fucking weird man, seriously?Shannon already blogged about our day and I am completely distracted by what must be the world’s sorest feet, but I did think I needed to add my own 2 cents: Poor old Michael Jackson. Even a year after his death they haven’t found his nose.

A quilting I will go
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, making stuff is goodJust when you (and I) thought I had given up on quilting completely, I went ahead and finished one quilt, made another and started a third. Go figure. The first one was for Saira and Michael’s baby, Kiran. Yes, I’d made her a sweater too and given the quilt over at the baby shower, but [...]

GPOYW #1
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, workStumbled upon on tumblr, and because I haven’t updated in a while, here’s what I look like right now, today: I had a long day: worked out at the gym until I thought I broke something inside, subway to Yonge and Bloor and then I walked home. It’s about 6km if I include all the [...]

Lakeside Park, so many memories
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, we have funAnyone that grew up in the Niagara Region has spent time at Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie. Even Neil Peart, a local hero, wrote a song about it. The wonderful merry-go-round is still there and it still only costs five cents a ride. A good deal for kids of all ages. There are more than [...]

Boosting the Blue Jays
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, seriously?, we have funI went to another ball game last night, Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Indians. We got great seats because we went with a friend who’s in a wheelchair: disabled seating’s quite fantastic, actually, you’re on the floor right behind the 100′s and they give you folding chairs, so there’s tons of legroom, you can stand up [...]

Here’s what to do:
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, food, making stuff is goodWhen you have the time/space. Since last Monday when I was at the Sorauren Farmer’s Market (which, if you are in the area, you really should go to, it’s small but everyone there is nice and has beautiful local/organic produce) and met some nice ladies from Parkdale’s Westend Food Co-op who made me think about [...]

Viva la V.V.!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, GripingI know, it’s been a long time since I blogged about the greatest store on earth, Value Village. To be honest, not much has changed there and I rarely go any more. I trickled over today to look for plaques, like, award plaques for a project I’m working on and to do some donating. The [...]
