Ingrid Turner Today

Looking forward to watching my new favorite movie “Twilight”!

I’ve read Stephanie Meyer’s entire series of books that start with Twilight.

The movie, Twilight, was absolutely fantastic and I think I’ve watched it 100 times – literally! lol

Their casting of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen in the movie was perfect – the more I watch him, the more I like him.

Aahhh Edward – wish I was young again!!!

When you read the books, you have a Continue reading »

What a beautiful day in Niagara!

It’s 27 degrees C in my back yard.

The doggies are loving it too…Running around, chasing each other and smelling the air!

I made some homemade lemonade this morning and I’m enjoying it on the patio.

As for gardening, I’m going to pick up a few branches and pretend I’m working…lol

This is close to my Continue reading »

What a gorgeous day today!

It’s time to start a little gardening…

…Preparing the soil and organizing in my head what I want to plant where.

I’ve already got some tomatoes, peppers and herbs started indoors that I enjoyed over winter.

It’s time for my oleanders to go back outside, as well as my lemon-lime tree. They’ll be happy for direct sunlight!

I bring them in every winter, so they won’t die in our harsh, Canadian winter.

I’m making some homemade chicken soup today, and that’s just what the doc ordered with fresh baked Continue reading »

I’m just enjoying this beautiful morning…

…Having tea & my own homemade, Mennonite buns for my breakfast. They’re so delicious – my Mother’s recipe.

Just sunning on my patio with the dogs,who are running around, chasing & hiding on each other.

It’s so nice to see spring has finally sprung.

Kurious, one of my daughter’s miniature schnauzers, is in heat, so I have to watch her around Kaptain, her male mini schnauzer…

…Both of them have panties on, just for protection.

The only down side of today – laundry day &  it’s gotta be Continue reading »

* This post is continued from My Precious Princess – The Miniature Schnauzer: Part #1 & Part #2.

During the balance of my cancer treatments, Precious was constantly in my arms or on my lap…

I even took her to my oncology appointments and she would sleep under my sheet with her “bony” during my Herceptin treatments.

People didn’t even realize I had a dog with me…She was so good and quiet!

As my feet and ankles are arthritic and walking is difficult even with my canes, my little Precious has become accustomed to the noise of the canes and wheelchair, and finds comfort close to her human mom, as I find comfort in her presence too!

She is such a beautiful and special dog, who fills my world with joy and love…truly a “Precious” gift.

I cannot foresee a time when I would ever, willingly, be Continue reading »

* This story is continued from My Precious Princess – The Miniature Schnauzer: Part #1

What a wonderful therapist Precious has been for me and what life she brought into the life of my other terrier, Sugar, who is a dog I rescued at the age of 1 1/2 years old. She is now over 14 years of age.

Sugar has a whole new lease on life and enjoys rough-housing with her baby sister.

As well, the other dogs always have a partner and willing participant for their invented games…from hide & seek, to chase the ball, to guarding the dining room window and front door, to seeing how many of them can fit into their tiny dog bed, which they all share and each occupy at one time or another.

Precious is now full grown, but still ever the baby, and her coloring has changed somewhat over the past months.

She is called a Phantom Fringe Face…She has a beautiful black silky head with charcoal ears, a white muzzle/beard and eyebrows, a white neck, chest, forelegs and front of her back legs with white socks. Her back and tail are Continue reading »

Did you see Zenni Optical in the New York Times?!

The Times was speaking about how to save money on prescription eyeglasses and eye care, as we are in a serious economic crisis. Awesome advice there, by the way!

I know when I recently purchased 2 pairs of glasses from my eye doctor, they were easily over$300 each for what I needed for my prescription and fashion tastes.

NOT COOL! Then, my daughter found the Zenni Optical website, where they feature Prescription eyeglasses for only $8!

Naturally, I was entirely too curious to see what she was talking about! Those are amazing prices…

I thought they would be “seconds” or frames that were not stylish at all, but to my surprise, they were the same types of frames I saw at the optician’s office for a serious fraction of the cost.

I went to the site again today to look at the new frames they have up, as I check often now. I can have as many glasses as I want…one for every day of the week, if I wanted to, for these prices.

This was my favorite style today:

Zenni’s great for Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank!

In 2005, I lost my husband to a very rare cancer and during the week of his death, I found that I too, had cancer.

After 2 surgeries and during chemotherapy, I was so comforted by the constant presence of my dog Sugar (a poodle-Westie cross), and my daughter’s miniature schnauzer, Kaptain.

During the course of my extended treatments, my daughter’s terrier family increased to include 2 miniature schnauzer puppies, Kurious and Knosey.

During those endless months of chemotherapy, I was so very comforted by the love and attendance I received from these caring and entertaining dogs.

As I was part way through my treatments, my son-in-law brought me a tiny miniature schnauzer pup from Texas since my daughter, son-in-law and their 3 dogs were planning to return to their Texas home after spending nearly 3 yrs with me during my illness and partial recovery.

My little “Precious” was a very welcome addition to our household. She kept my son-in-law company, along with her surrogate puppy mommy, Knosey, and her surrogate human mommy, my daughter, on the long trip home from Texas to Canada.

She was became very sick as a puppy and her trip to Canada was delayed by 1 month, as she needed a Continue reading »
