Another nice day Checking out some of the shops Chillaxing day out. Yet again sucked in by the morning TV! I have discovered that the talk show hosted by Ellen Degeneres is hilarious! She's one funny lady. Plus she had on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and they went on for a bit about Ellen's missing "happy face" chip. Apparently a potato chip that has a happy face on it. Anyhoo, once I finally dragged myself away from the TV, my first mission was to head on over to the Post Office on the end of Water Street. Water Street has lots of great little shops to check out so I wandered in and out of some of these stores before being able to get my letters posted. I can't believe how many artisans there are in ... read more

Amazing day up to Signal Hill

Bon at Signal Hill

Bon Bon on the Go Go

Signal Hill's awesome! Watched teh mesmerizing waves Had a wicked day. The sun was shining so I took full advantage of the situation and put paying a visit up to Signal Hill at the top of the list of things to do today after grabbing a bite to eat. Out of convenience I headed across the street to Tim Horton's and had myself a chunky chicken salad sandwich, a coke and a Boston Cream donut. It was so reminiscent of my lunches with my sister when we'd head over to Save-on on our lunch break and we'd sometimes have this. Good times. I'm not sure why I just felt compelled to type that up. LOL I had a lazy morning just watching mindless TV before rolling out of bed. I probably would have gotten up earlier ... read more

Bon Bon on the Go Go

Off to Newfoundland I'm not sure what to expect Pleasantly surprised! My last day in Halifax yesterday was pretty much spent wandering the streets. I checked out some of the "Lobsters in the City" that are scattered about town. They are basically 7 feet tall fibreglass lobsters that have been creatively decorated by artisans and will eventually be auctioned off to raise money for something...to be honest, I don't think I ever found out! I also stopped by the Mary E. Black Gallery which was currently displaying "In the Margins: Works by 12 woman clay artists." One from each of the Canadian provinces and territories. Hmm, I thought there were three territories?? I then worked on more of my cross stitch while watching “Superman II”. Did you know that Lex Luther was the Ruler of Australia ... read more
