We've chosen not to have any advertising on our blog - okay, except Marcia's inspiring book!! - but we do support the idea of Global Giving.
Basically, what they do is match donors with nonprofit organizations around the world.
What do you have to give?

Hi Folks:
This will serve as two months’ worth of ‘Food’ posts for us! We’ve had some interesting culinary adventures over the past couple of months… actually we were waiting for a writeup from a ‘guest blogger’, but that didn’t pan out so you get me instead. Let’s see now, [...]
Hi Folks:
I still remember when I was visiting my aunt in Prince Rupert, BC back in 1983 that she directed me to a nearby marshy area where the poor growing conditions led to many of the trees adopting a natural ‘bonsai’ – stunted growth and twisted forms that would [...]
Hello, Dear Reader:
Today Marcia and I celebrate our 100th Monthaversary of being married, so it’s only fitting that today we should profile where we went to celebrate our 18th Anniversary of the day we met. (In case it’s not really obvious, we find some way to celebrate ‘Us’ every [...]
Hi Folks:
Today is the last day of December, and that means it’s time for the ‘Photo of the Month’ post. Being December 31, it’s also the last day of 2010. There’s an old story about spring coming in like a lamb or a lion, and if that also applies [...]

1) Murchie’s Tea and Coffee: Murchie’s has been an icon in Victoria for somewhere [...]
Hello Dear Reader!
Well, we’ve had a few culinary adventures to share with you this month.
Before we get to that, however, earlier this month Marcia went out to dinner with the folks she works with at a restaurant downtown. She ordered the equivalent salad to the one [...]
Hi Folks:
October 4th already and I just realized this morning that I didn’t do a ‘Photo of the Month’ post for September. Yeesh! So, in the ‘better late than never‘ category…
September’s image wasn’t very hard to choose. I wish I could take credit for the clouds, [...]
Hello, Dear Reader:
If you’ve read our other ‘Food‘ blogs you’ll know that we both have some background in the hospitality industry. We’ve also travelled extensively (both individually and together) over the years, and when one has gotten used to eating in restaurants day in and day out for months [...]
Hi Folks:
Well, September descends upon us tomorrow – back to school for those who are so inclined, and the end of summer vacation for most. On this last day of August I had a look through Lightroom to see that I made nearly a thousand images this month. In [...]
Hello, Dear Reader!
August seems to be harvest time here on the island. Last month we wrote about some of the farmer’s markets in the area, and we’ve been adding to our food cache by eating the many fruits that are ripe and ready as we wander the roads and [...]
