• WHAT IS MILSPEC PARACORD? Type III mil spec 550 parachute cord is an inexpensive, lightweight, tough and durable Kernmantle rope with truly extraordinary breaking strength, especially relative to its small diameter. It was initially developed by the United States military for use as parachute suspension lines during World War II. It continues to be used on both military and civilian parachutes today. Paracord is now manufactured in two general varieties: (1) tightly-defined Military Specification or "Mil-Spec" Paracord, and (2) undefined "Commercial" Paracord. Mil Spec Paracord is stronger and more reliable than "commercial" Paracord. Mil-Spec Paracord is also more flexible and "supple" than commercial paracord, making it an easy choice for crafters and hobbyists to use when making paracord bracelets and other paracord projects. Because of its small size, portability, affordability, versatility and exceptional breaking strength, mil spec 550 military cord has become a favorite survival, utility and crafting rope or cord used daily by both military and civilian personnel, sportsmen and hobbyists throughout the world.

Monday’s ‘Musement

Do you sing in the shower?  I do – and never once worried about this:

I’d worry more about the broken hip from the slip than about the paramedics.  They’ve already seen it all, so there are no surprises in store for them if they do have to come and help you out (pun intended).  If you have room to dance in your shower, I say go for it!  Enjoy, sing, shout, gyrate, dance – it’s your shower and nobody’s watching……but put down a non-slip mat just in case!!!

Or do you like to sing in the car?  Years ago somebody said to me that she would never sing in the car in case somebody thought she was talking to herself.  Does that really matter?  I sing in the car lots, whether by myself or with others, when those catchy tunes come on the radio.  And lots of times, I’m bobbing my head, shaking my shoulders, swaying back and forth – if I could I’d get up and dance.  But then Mr. Policeman might object.  Let’s all just sing when we feel like it, but keep those hands on the wheels and eyes on the road!

 

Actually we’re doing some happy dances around our house these days.  The news is out – we’re expecting a grandchild!   So much joy!  So much excitement!  So much anticipation! 

There’s a little reservation along with it all, because last year our twin grand-daughters were born way too early and only lived a short time, and since then there have been two other miscarriages amongst our children.  But now, we’re past the danger stage for miscarriage, doctors are very involved in doing everything they can to ensure health and safety of mom and baby (not that they weren’t before but things happen), and the ultrasounds show a very healthy, active ‘lil bud’.

So I’m singing in the shower and in the car – practicing nursery songs and lullabies.

Happy singing!              Blessings, Peg

Nakusp area

In between our ferry rides, we stayed at Nakusp, a little town right on the Arrow Lakes.

It’s a pretty little town with two hot springs pools nearby.

We wandered through their downtown area, and discovered a lake-side walk, with gardens:

A perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine and the views.  The lake was so calm it was like glass, and I commented it would be nice to take a canoe out there, but Grizz said ‘not a good plan’ as apparently the lake can turn ugly in a very short time.  Not that we have a canoe any more!!

We made a trip out to one of the hot springs and lazed in the warm water for a while:

From the pool we could see the steam rising from the hot springs across the roadway:

On our last evening, we were entertained at Music in the Park.  Steve Palmer was the entertainer, a singer from Edmonton.  He was advertised as singing Country Roots, and he truly did take us back to some of our roots in singing Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Roger Williams, and lots of Canadian artists like Ian Tyson, Celine Dion, Anne Murray, Irish Rovers, as well as a few of his own songs, one titled Come On In which was used for opening of one of the CBC Radio Vinyl Café programs.

Steve will be traveling to the Maritimes this fall with stops in Springhill (Anne Murray’s home town) and Antigonish (our DDIL-K’s home town) in NS , so if any of you are out that way……

All in all a wonderful visit!               Blessings, Peg

It Was Just a Dream

I toiled up the hill on my bicycle, working my way around teenagers lolling on the curb with their legs and feet blocking the bike lane, and around the horde of moms and kids that were coming the other direction.  Destination – the hotel at the top of the hill.

When I got there, it was the hotel of my dreams – luxurious, crystal chandeliers, a lounge for reading or chatting, velvet and leather everywhere, Persian rugs.  And it was busy – staff and guests busily moving around, everybody with an apparent purpose.

I approached the registration desk and met Margaret, a delightful customer service rep who had my reservation all ready, and proceeded with the check-in process and then asked for my credit card.  I handed her my Visa, and she swiped it through the machine and handed it back.

Then Jerry the bell-hop was at my side, and just as I asked Margaret a question, he said he’d take care of that right away and off he went, coming back a few minutes later and handing me my Visa card.  I hadn’t realized he’d even taken it, and wondered what he’d been doing with it.  I had to ask him to give me some privacy with Margaret as he seemed to be crowded right against my elbow, and when he left, I asked if we could reverse the charge on my Visa and put the charge on another card, as I was uncomfortable with what Jerry had done with my Visa and wanted to cancel it as soon as I got to my room.

Margaret was hesitant, but eventually went into a back office and I could see her through a window speaking with someone who was apparently a supervisor.  Throughout this, my wallet, with credit cards, had been laying on the counter in front of me.  The supervisor came out to explain that they couldn’t reverse the charges – and suddenly Jerry was there again, handing my wallet back to me!!  When had he taken it, what had he done with it?  I had a headache!!!

And then I woke up – wanting to run for my purse and check my credit cards!  And so thankful when I realized this had all been just a dream!  And reminded that I need to always, always, always keep close tabs on my credit cards and wallet when out there shopping.

Do you give your credit card to the wait staff at a restaurant?

Do you lock your car with your wallet inside when at a gas station?

Do you make sure to get your card back and put it straight away in your wallet when at a cashier?

Yes, it was just a dream, but a dream with a lesson – I think I’ve been reminded!

Happy lessons!             Blessings, Peg
