Home Sweetland Home

Good morning! The bells in the church tower across the street are ringing to remind us how Good this Friday is …  I’m celebrating with toast and coffee and my favourite bad TV show. This is my morning ritual: Awake in my glorious polka-dot pillow cloud bed. Lie there and think of 5 things that make me feel truly happy and grateful. (As I’m diligent these days with my Law of Attraction self-help homework!)

Today’s list:
1. My incredibly comfy bed.
2. My amazing family!
3. My superhot new boots.
4. My upcoming exciting adventures down South.
5. All the episodes of my favourite bad TV show awaiting me on my PVR (for watching while waking up slowly and sipping strong coffee.)

Next, it’s time to make the strong coffee. And sip it slowly. 


Last night I had a yet another magical evening at Hugh’s Room. My dear friend Andy White is back in town, this time on tour with Judy Collins. At first I wasn’t sure about that combo, but wow what a incredible show! 

When I think Judy Collins, I think my mom. Her voice rekindles memories of my childhood, and I confess, renders me a touch verklempt. At 71 she looks fabulous and sounds just as great as she did back then.  Told some pretty compelling stories too. What a performer. And of course, Andy was brilliant and dashing as always.

On Thursday I drove up to Stratford on a petit pilgrimage to see their show at beautiful Knox Church. And I’m so glad I did. If it weren’t for the fact I forgot the memory card for my camera, there would have been epic photographic tales to tell. Said tales would have told of dark passageways, majestic windows, empty banquet halls, gargantuan chandeliers, magic mirrors and stolen moments. And my superhot new boots! At least I managed to snap one secret photo with my cell phone during the show. (See below.)

Wishing fine feasting to you all this weekend, whatever you happen to be celebrating!
