The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Countryside View

This is looking out from the deck of my folks house...this is the view from behind their house. It was once farmland owned and worked by my Uncle David. In the fall you get lovely colors of those trees. It is really nice and peaceful out there. I miss living in the country. There is a little creek that runs down near those woods, not far from my parents place.
Lots of memories here.

Tim Horton's aka "Timmy's"

Well Tim Horton's is a chain of coffee/donut shops thruout Canada. At least every city or town has one. But bigger areas sometimes boast 5 to 10. They are almost on every corner of Canada. But we all love our "Timmy's"...my hubby enjoys their strong coffee and I enjoy their steeped black tea. I usually have 2 to 3 a day from Timmy's. The only thing I don't like is when they can't get the order right or they keep asking what was it you said. The other day Ed came home with 2 coffee's and my tea...well when I finally finished my other one that I had...I grabbed the one he brought home and I knew when I saw that big letter "B" on it, they goofed. It was Black Coffee...see I told you they can't hear too good or they just don't care. But anyhow we enjoy Timmy's and will probably go there forever. It was really nice when Newcastle got their Timmy's chain.
And I believe the Canucks love their coffee and donuts...they have many other chains as well besides Tim Horton's. They have Country Style, Coffee Time, Baker's Dozen and even some Starbucks are coming in the area. Well hope you all enjoy your coffee/tea today!

Cheers!!
