A visit from a furry little friend.

335

Blue lights
Streaking reflections..
An interesting capture of light in an unexpected place.

334

3s continue today...

3 home cooked meals...
3 visits...

Warm homes, lovely company, the best of times shared...
Life is good.

333

Something I like about 3s...

Thinking about the perfect boiled egg...
Happened once...still to be repeated...
3 factors involved really....
Egg, water, heat.
Simple, yes? Not for me!

Each of the 3 factors a complex world in an of itself...
A multitude of magical combinations in 3s.

332

A romantic viewing of the snowflakes this morning,
feeling connected to the changing season...
Warm thoughts to people I love...
I am Grateful for all that is in my life.
...and for Magic!

331

Chilled by the dampness of the day,
an evening out to hear Derek Walcott
with my favorite St Lucian helped to warm me up.

...and also get this accidental photo! :)

330

Lovin' the wonderfully mild weather...
Catching up with friends...
and being home.

329

The morning sun
casts a light on the aloe.
Bright highlights,
and dark points,
both rich and lush...

328

Busier day than was expected.
Good to be home and catching up with friends.

Yesterday's sunset still in mind..

327

The setting sun on our return flight.

Happy to be home.

326

Last full day in the sun before returning home.

It has been such a great vacation,
seeing old friends and meeting many new ones.

...getting ready for the transition to 'normal' life.

325

Yoga and a few laps in the pool this morning under sunny blue Florida skies...
An afternoon by the pool,
laughter, fun and play with jolly people.
I am grateful to be living and playing in North America....
Where life is truly blessed....

Today's picture is a picture of a picture on the wall in our room.
While it could be on any island, anywhere,
It takes me back to St Lucia.

Remembering being in Laborie with the Cosmic pair...

Thinking of St Lucians,
and hoping that recovery is going well.

324

An early morning and we are back in sunny Florida.
A few days with a different view and jolly people everywhere
before returning to Toronto weather.

323

Hard to imagine this is the last day onboard.
Weather has shifted...perhaps the seas are also sad to see us go...

What a wildly fun and fabulous cruise this has been!

322

A cosmic birthday celebration today!
Scrabble and chess in the afternoon,
and an evening birthday dinner with friends.

321

A day to relax after 2 days of intense partying...
Hanging out with friends at the Hotel Barracuda...
The ship's crew hanging out by the pool,
online and emailing on their day in port. Perfect!
Back on board and ready for the evening's festivities.

320

View from our cabin balcony - Deck 10 at the aft.
What a wildly fun and fabulous party this is!

319

Sailing away to Cozumel..
Looking to be a good start to a super fun party cruise!

318

Travel days always have some challenge or other...
Arriving in 80F weather in sunny Tampa, checked in and having a cool drink...
Challenges forgotten and vacation started.

317

Lunch on Ossington
to launch vacation
5..4..3..2..1..
now!

316

Observations of many Koreans and their food...
For the most part, no matter where they live or travel to, when eating out, they will go out for Korean food...
a Korean food restaurant out by the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey?!?
I suspect that this behavior is found other cultures?

Sniffed K-food sneaking into the mainstream, on a breakfast menu in Kensington Market...
Never imagined Chic Korean, in Toronto Life!

Some blogs for those who want to cook Korean...
Beyond Kimchi | My Korean Kitchen | ZenKimchi Korean Food | Cooking Korean Food with Maangchi | Tastespotting

Of course, there are also many sites, videos and blogs out there on cooking Korean...
If you know of other great sites, I'd appreciate the links! :)

315

3 little pigeons sitting on a curb...
Facing the light with shadows behind.

Hoping that all those going through storms
can get the darkness behind them
and into the light.

314

Since Saturday morning, my thoughts have been with St Lucia.
The photo today is not a photo...
Created to share some of the ingredients in the recipe to raise money to help St Lucia recover and rebuild. A mix of hardware, software, online services and the photographs taken....

313

My first NFL game!
In spite of all our cheers, the Bills could not break through..
A super fun time with friends.
Can't imagine a better intro to football!

312

Thinking of ways to raise money to help the St Lucians
clean up and rebuild heaven on earth.

Amber DeGrace - HuffingtonPost

Our prayers and hearts are with the St Lucians.

311

A few rocky moments with technology.
So glad there are people online that can help.

310

Power out this morning.
45 minutes later, power is not restored.
Left the house for the market.

From gritty downtown to the shiny mink mile,
interesting cab conversations about the prophet Mohammed
and a serendipitous technology solution lead to
a wonderful visit with my favorite princess.

Amazing what happens when gates are opened.

309

I am in charge of my own experience in each moment.
If I find myself unhappy in the day,
I need to get back in touch with the present moment.

Magic IS ever present
and everywhere.

308

The early morning light,
Shadows never noticed before...
Watching as the light brings the arch together.

Thinking about jetlag...
Curious about how you
recover from travel
between two time zones...

307

Lights in Chinatown seem brighter in the cold weather...
Brrrr...
