I love Kit Kats and usually get a Christmas stocking full of my favorite chocolatey snack. I decided to have a Kit Kat treat one night and left it on the counter. I can't remember why I left it there for a few minutes but I did and by the time I got back this is what it looked like. I knew the only person who would dare to take a bite of my treat would be my hubby. When I asked he said (with a grin on his face) it, "must have been a little mouse."
This is an inside joke with our family that started when our eldest was maybe 2 years old. She loved to squeeze herself into a cabinet in the kitchen and hide from us. One day my hubby heard her in there and knocked on the cabinet door and said something like what do I hear? She replied, "I'm a little mouse!" in her tiny high voice.
My simple joy for this week is two wrapped up in one. The first is the fact that my hubby is a major tease and has a way of making me lighten up. The second is the memory of our sweet little one and her squeaky little voice say, "I'm a little mouse!"
This is the placement I'm using. Note that the dot motifs appear to cascade asymmetrically to the waist. This placement is actually on the cross-grain with the border print at the hem.
This will sound odd that my Sister-in-law's funeral would be a simple joy. In many ways it wasn't because her vibrant life was cut way too short and she will be greatly missed. So why call this a simple joy?
See the blur of light on either side of the altar? Those are hundreds of candles lit by the lives my SIL touched. She was joy filled and poured out her joy into everyone she met including me.
Another reason why I call it a simple joy is that it reminds me that there are many ways to define family. You see, my SIL is actually the wife of my foster brother. The truth of the matter is my side of the family has been created by adoption, the foster care system, marriage and a second marriage of my grandmother who brought into my life a cousin that feels more like a sister. My family brings a lot of joy into my life.
I thought this frame, did convey the sense of Simple Abundance. The man, a local Banarasi, is clad in the attire he prefers the most of signifies the town the most - Saffron Kurta and a turban. Beside him a vessel, behind him a bag, a stick and a cycle - sort of takes care of most things does not it? Saw him seated near the Ghats of the Ganges at Assi

The image seemed to lend itself to a more antiquated, de-saturated effect. Simple, childish pleasures of flower picking in the grounds at Beningborough Hall, Yorkshire

Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place:
Queen Elizabeth Elementary School is a complex of buildings comprised of: a one two-storey English vernacular building from 1940; two one-storey Modern buildings from 1957; one one-storey building from 1964; open asphalt playing areas; a formal driveway; and mature planting beds. It is in the residential neighbourhood of Point Grey, and is adjacent to a large, open playing field and Pacific Spirit Regional Park.
Heritage Value:
Queen Elizabeth Elementary School is important for its cultural and aesthetic significance, particularly for the contrasting building styles of the 1940 building and of its post-war additions that responded differently to the pedagogy of their times.
Built over a period of 25 years, the school is culturally important as the embodiment of changes in educational values. The 1940 building represents the then-new philosophy that schools should be child-centered and functional – it was considered to be the first of its type built in the province, unique for its English cottage-type design and its full-size gymnasium, auditorium and dressing room facilities. The 1957 and 1964 additions reflect a more systematized, practical, scientific, and more democratic approach to education and reflect the intention to provide clean and efficient spaces that embodied the ideals of social mobility and equality. It is indicative of the significant change in cultural attitudes between the early 1940s and the 1950s that, while the official opening of the 1940 building was presided over by then Premier T.D. Pattullo, the official opening of the 1957 buildings was presided over by the city health officer.
The school site’s cultural significance also lies in its representation of how, after 1940, the Vancouver School Board architects accepted the Modernist cause and its potential for standardizing school designs. Compared to the 1940 building that is from an earlier stylistic era, the 1957 and 1964 Modern buildings signify the chance to begin anew, partly by rejecting stylistic historicism and ornamental symbolism. It is this obvious difference in design outlook that offers present day observers such a valuable commentary on the history of school design over the pre- and post-World War Two era.
Other important cultural values of this school are the combined memories and experiences of past students and teachers, the continued use of this site as a school complex from 1940 to the current day, and the continued use of its name: 'Queen Elizabeth Elementary School'.
Aesthetically, Queen Elizabeth Elementary School is important for its juxtaposition of two design idioms, and for highlighting how little the Modernist building makes reference to the original outstanding school building, conveying the cultural predisposition at that time to leave the old world behind. The school contributes significantly to the streetscape and to the neighbourhood as it is on a rise in the land and overlooks both a large open sports field and Pacific Spirit Regional Park to the south and west.

Architectural Qualities

Architectural elements of the 1940 building:
- Informal, picturesque assemblage of wings
- Brick facing at base of walls, wood, and stucco, all in an essentially domestic idiom

- Faux half-timbering
Architectural elements of the 1957 and 1964 buildings:

Landscape elements
- Covered play area of the 1957 structure
Lisa hosted a great program that taught the kids how to prepare a simple meal, customized to their tastes. The food was great and they didn't even make a mess!

Our Portuguese rental car needs to be re-fuelled.
Portuguese is a strange language to my ear. Having working extensively in Spain, I expected it sound the same, it doesn't.
When the Portuguese speak English it is with a Russian sounding twang - a bit like that Car Insurance comparison Meerkat from the adverts... so when we saw that the non-premium Diesel was called 'Simples' it made us chuckle.
"You want pay Pump 4? €40... simples!"
(No offence to Portuguese speaking people by the way, we found you all rather nice on our visit).
