Pet Peeves

This drives me nuts. A jacket on the floor - and on the wall there are 8 empty hooks! Bah!
I have this thing about books. They are meant to either sit straight up or lie flat. But never, never ever slanted over. Sloppy, sloppy sloppy...

Windows - Late Entry

The view out my back window. I love having green space behind the house!


The view out my front door window! Not nearly as pretty as the back!

Week #47 - Shopping

This week's photo challenge is: Shopping

I look forward to seeing your photos!!

My Pet Peeves...I have a lot!!

Like you said Mum...some of ours are going to be the same....especially the first two!!
I could have posted a lot more, but decided on just these four.....

Anyone up for a stay at the local Hote

Or what about a coffee from Hortons?

This one really annoys me....the toliet paper needs to go over NOT under!!!
Fyi - this picture annoys me, because it's wrong!!

And finally....one of my biggest pet peeves!!
When people leave their sleeves rolled up!!!

OH, I beat you...LOL

Okay, I'm thinking that our pet peeves are going to be the same and I thought you would have already posted yours on here...

I was disappointed because I didn't get started earlier in the week and I didn't get the ones I would have liked to have gotten - like people who leave their Christmas lights up all year long (too late to catch them because now they have turned them on!), businesses who make spelling mistakes in their advertising/menus (Caesar salad spelled "Ceasar" is my all-time pet peeve!), etc... Anyway, here's what I got and I'm sure you have some similar photos!

First, let's start off with two clocks (ESPECIALLY digital ones!) that are side by side not showing the same time...realllly? It could literally drive me to drink if I let it. These two are constantly being changed - I stand there and synchronize them many times in a week, yet STILL they do this:


Then there is spelling. Do you NOT remember the rule from school, folks? "When a word ends in 'y', you changed the 'y' to an 'i' and add 'es'....sheeeeeesh.


Starbucks seems to be a common culprit to not realizing their lights are burnt out!

We could always go to Bucks Coffee if we can't find Starbucks...LOL.

Week #46 - Pet Peeves

I decided to change the challenge this week, because the one that was on the list was boring, so I thought we need to do something fun!

So, this week's photo challenge is: Pet Peeves

Wikipedia defines Pet Peeves as this: A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to him or her, to a greater degree than others may find it.

Maybe more people will post as this should be fun!

I look forward to seeing your photos :)

Stepping back...through the windows of time.

Okay, I'm kind of cheating a little bit as these were taken back in July when Sam and I did an old house photoshoot...but I did take them and they are just too good not to use here!!




It was cool because we could actually get close enough to see into the house and it was filled with all the original antique furniture...how sad that it was just neglected.

Week #45 - Windows

This week's photo challenge is: Windows

Happy Photo Shooting :)

Candy Basket

This past Sunday night, Bob and I went to see our friend's daughter, Mackenzie in a play. The play was Annie and it was put on by the Christian Youth Theater. It was very well done and we so enjoyed ourselves. While we were there, they said they were doing a raffle draw for this basket. We thought we would buy one, but they were three for $5.00 and they didn't have much change, so we ended up buying three and guess what?
One of them won!!

It sure has a lot of yummy candies inside :)

Candy, candy, candy...

Candy stash...

Well, with Hallowe'en over, we usually try and pick up some of those little candy bars on sale for the silver tin, and this year was no exception! Our cupboard overflows...

Really creeepy

I don't know about you but I find it creepy when I get obvious spam from someone I know. Yesterday I got this email from an RCMP friend who I haven't heard from for years - maybe this is why...

...yeah, I think his email account has been hacked! And what the heck is with the quote at the end, anyway? "The train baggage man who saw Al rescue Jimmy would get the papers in Detroit and bring them up to Mt." Ha ha ha...creeeeepy.
