A Fun Day at the Prison

we went to a play put on by some of the men at the nearby federal prison. the longest running drama program at a federal prison in Canada, and the only federal prison in the country that allows people from the "street" (what they call us on the outside of the prison walls) to come and partake in the play. they always choose really amazing plays, quite topical to prison life. this year they put on a great production, both thoughtful and entertaining, of Beckett's Waiting for Godot. they've had trouble in the past keeping the program running, so it's great to be able to go and support this amazing program, as well as see some great acting. it's always an exerience, and one that has me thinking about the lives these men live in prison, as well as the system that controls their every moves. one of the actors has been at this particular prison for ten years. i can't even imagine living in the same house for that long. something to think about.

Spring fling coffee and yarn swap

Wow! My partner Megan http://kniteurope.blogspot.com/ was the sweetest, most generous partner ever and really made this swap fun for me. The box was brimming over with so many goodies, and my bf and i had so much fun on a Sunday morning going opening up each little present and eating many of the goodies...and of course drinking the yummy rich coffee out of brand new mugs. i have to get my camera working so i can post some pics, because there were some really fun and pretty things in this box. you can see a picture of the sweet daisies that she sent me on her blog. there are also some seeds and tiny pots to plant for lavender and dasies that i am going to plant and put on my windowsill this afternoon. there are too many fun things to post, so i'll try to get my camera fixed today!

Megan, you really brightened my Spring! Thank you so much!
