Gourmet Hot Dog Joint?

March 25, 2009

So tell me… who dreams of a gourmet type hot dog joint, where all the Salvation Army folk go before a big concert or event????  There’s a huge line-up and it’s like being at Swiss Chalet before the National final program or the Festival of Gospel Song.  Except it’s not… because it’s the gourmet hot [...]

So Now What?

March 25, 2009

About a month ago, in the mess of pre-anniversary weekend stuff, I was in a minor car accident.  I was rear ended (in my lovely new car with less than 3000km on it at the time) in some messy weather.  I didn’t see it coming… I didn’t brace myself, so the injury to myself was [...]

March 24, 2009

NO!  I cannot do 100 push-ups…. not yet anyway! In fact, I can hardly do any at all… not of the real type… not yet anyway! BUT, I have a plan!   (This is the Donna we all know and love!) There is a website called hundredpushups.com and it is a plan to be able to [...]

Thinking About Discipline

March 22, 2009

Have we “caught the vision splendid”?

November 20, 2008

We have caught the vision splendid Of a world which is to be, When the pardoning love of Jesus Freely flows from sea to sea, When all men from strife and anger, Greed and selfishness are free, When the nations live together In sweet peace and harmony. (SA Songbook #833) I sit in front of [...]

The 1st day of the rest of my life

November 5, 2008

So, I have hit a breaking point today. I have harboured all sorts of stress and strain, tried to be super-duper-woman, gotten more and more bitter, and have just been plain tired and stupid with my time. So here I sit stretched out in bed, having left work early.  About ready to conk out for [...]

I am blogging-challenged…

October 2, 2008

Apparently, as great of an idea as this was to keep track of the journey, I haven’t been doing a very good job of it.  I have loads of photos I want to share, and great stories to tell…. I just hope I remember them by the time I get blogging about them.  I decided [...]

Giving Up

September 24, 2008

Well, I tried to post photos on here, but tonight it is not working.  I not only have my Texan Space Cow photo to share, but also I took some shots of the buildings downtown with damage.  But alas they are not online yet. Beyond that – how was my day?  It was long.  It [...]
