Real or Fake?

Got your attention now don't I...I am talking about plants, what preferance do you have? I would have to say I prefer the look of live plants with the exception of the maintance of them, sometimes the plants around here end up a little brown before we remember to water them,LOL. My favorite plants would be ones that remind me of my childhood, my Grandmother always had this great big Christmas Cactus that always bloomed beautiful pink flowers. My mother always had a collection of Spider Plants I always thought they were neat with the little baby spiders growing. It can bring back great memories when I see either of those plants, I had a Christmas cactus for years and I put it through a ton of punishment with many moves and eventually it died. I have never got a spider plant and one day maybe I'll get one of those in the house.

Dream Vacations

My wife and I are beginning to plan an exotic vacation for just the two of us, we have never even had our real honeymoon yet. We both decided that we would like to have an exciting vacation filled with romance, great food, beach, sunbathing and starlight nights. It was important for us to find an option that could find all these criteria. Karisma Hotels offer various vacation options to meet everyones desires and wants. One interesting option is that they also have a site dedicated to families with activites focusing on kids needs and interests while still having interesting things for the parents to do as well. We have begun to look into destination weddings for a wonderful exotic opportunity

Hands Free


Recently it was announced that our province of Nova Scotia will be going hands free as of April 1st this year. What's your opinion on this? I personally would have to admit to having used the cell phone while driving more than once and will certainly agree it is a distraction from the road. I think it is a great idea to eliminate the temptation to use the phone while driving. I got caller display on my phone so if it happens to ring while driving I can either pull over and call back or wait until I get to where I am going before answering. There are other great ideas to like the blue tooth that you can use so you can talk and still keep your hands where they need to be. Sometimes though even the conversation can be the distraction depending on what the situation is so that one is pretty hard to police how do you ban speaking in a vehicle. Give me your opinion on this topic, I would love to hear different views.

I'm going for a nap

How do you get exhausted, here is my scenerio, work for about 55 hours for the week while your wife is away and looking after the kids too. Thank God for school it allowed me to work at least as I couldn't take a vacation week. Things will hopefully get back to normal next week as my wife is supposed to be returning home today. Now she did take my daughter and youngest son with her. (He is the handful, doesn't go to school yet and has too much energy) I am sure she will be tired out when she get's home tonight. I am looking forward to celebrating the big dance competition wins my daughter is bringing home and once the kids are in bed for the night curling up with my missed wife for a great nights rest.

Passing the Torch



I had the opportunity to pass the Olympic Flame onto Ed, a lung transplant survivor, it was an exciting moment for both of us. With my family there at the transfer point along with all of "Tappy's" grandchildren it was very exciting. The overall experience was so exciting and I was very glad to have been a part of it.

Hold the torch high



One of the biggest tips given to me before I went off on my Olympic torch relay by "Dave" the relay event co-ordinator for my leg of the run was to hold the torch high and keep the Canadian Emblem facing my heart. It was a great experience and I loved the fact that my two oldest kids jogged along the sidewalk beside me and talked while I was running. What a great experience, more fun than I could have imagined.
