Her face is a map of the world...

 

...it's a map of the world, you can see she's a beautiful girl she's a beautiful girl :) {But then, so are YOU}

This  ...

is how I feel!~ 

I love when this song plays on the radio...I crank it and bee bop about quite happily!  (I love when a song can do that for me.)  The above photo was snapped by my mum on Sunday...we had a nice outing to the auction and then to the beach though it was freezing cold, one of the only low-lights of living in Canada.  The briskly snippy winds didn't keep my children from dunking their toes in to the water though.  Kids don't feel temperatures, did you know that? It's true. :) But as mum said, the day was good for blowing the cobwebs off!

I'm thrilled to be back to work this week, after a three week absence.  A lot has gone on in my world over the preceding weeks...as you well know already.  So it will be great to regain a sense of normalcy.  I'm also planning trips around here and there...and gardening at both places, unpacking, decorating and all the things that make a life.  :)  (I'll enjoy every minute of it) 

I've decided I've eaten way too many hamburger's already this summer.  I can't help myself.  Maybe I'm addicted?

Hmm, food for thought.  :)

Pop in to sea to sky when you have a moment, it's bursting with crimson and soft sandy walking paths. :)

Do you have a summer song?  What is it!?  I must know! I am hooked on this one too.  It's so much fun!  Shake your groove thing...the season is short, shorty.  Happy Tuesday  xo

Enjoy the day loves!

I love your blog. It makes my day...seriously.
Aiden went swimming on Sunday in a pool that was 78 degrees and it was freezing outside. His lips blue, goosebumps all over and shivering. "Are you cold Aiden?" n-n-n-n-o-o-o-o was his response.
My summer song this year is You'll Find a Way by Santogold...it will get you movin' for sure!
have a super day chiquita!

I was wondering if you were standing by Lake Ontario. Sounds like you are having a good summer, Gillian. Musically, do you know what I'm completely addicted to these days? www.pandora.com. It's a website where you can make up your own radio stations - and for free! And check out this Cat Powers song...so beautiful...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8R0eoGO7Gw

I love that song, too! Definitely one to crank up. It's a good one to play when you're housecleaning. Somehow dusting and scrubbing seem slightly less terrible when there are good tunes playing. I've been listening to White Rabbit's "Percussion Gun" a lot. It's intense and fun. Have a great day!

Suddenly I see! It also brings me such joy!
Thank you Gillian, for sharing your summer song!

Oh yes, a fab song for summer! Hope your estate sales yielded some good finds. As for the identity issue, it's annoying. This often happens on my blog when people say something radical about politics and don't want to be traced. No identity, no published comment, where I'm concerned. Hopefully, no repeat performance for you! Cute photo - am off to check out your Sea to Sky post. xoxox

Ahh, Gilly....your blogs are a beautiful world! Keep writing for us. I was also at the auction house on Sunday and bought a beautiful butter dish. I was at a friend's cottage on the weekend and overheard her saying to her hubby that they didn't have one of those. Now they do. It's lovely a blue and cream. I love your girly, beachy shot dippin your toes in our cold Lake Ontario! Atta girl! So Canadian.

Pretty, flirty skirty! One of my fave SUMMER song is Summertime from Porgy and Bess and also Summer Breeze!

Okay, Blue, I have a sign on and can leave you a note. Spooky with all the phony ID floating about and such, isn't it?

I can't wait to hear all.

Say Hey, Michael Franti & Spearhead. I watch the video almost daily.

I don't mind the cold beach in the summer - because on really hot days, it's such a pleasant change.

Pretty photo!

I love that song too. I'll have to go with my old standard summer song...
