Perscription Prices

April 1st, 2013
Do you ever question what you pay for your perscriptions? I had thought the prices were standard until I watched "Steel on Your Side" on the news last week. I went to the web site they referred to to check out a cream I had purchased @ Rexall & was I surprised to find out that the same 30 oz cream I had paid $77.00....expensive YES was offered @ Safeway for $58.00. That is a 30% savings!!!!! ...

New Zealand, roads

March 17th, 2013
Taking the road up to Whistler BC is a piece of cake compared to these New Zealand roads. This is but 1 of many many hair pin turns on the South Islands road up from Nelson to Takkaka & the beautiful Golden Bay. Well worth the trip but was a bit of a "white knuckler". Thank goodness I picked up a hitch hiker who helped keep me keep on the LEFT side of the road. Going over the white line on th ...

March 6th, 2013
When I was in New Zealand last month I went to the Mission Hills WInery Music Festival  held once a year in the beautiful Art Deco city of Hawkes Bay in the North Island. Reluctantly  I pulled my self away from Golden Bay's gorgeous beaches & Nelson's music & sailing scene to head north to listen to Carole King...revisit my youth & the power of the songs she sang in the '60s. I stayed in a B& ...

Home Show Vancouver

February 22nd, 2013
If I am in town I love to go to the Vancouver Home Show which is on this weekend, February 23rd 2013. Last year I was doing a renovation to my little bathroom & I was able to get lots of great ideas at this event. It makes shopping for all the bits & pieces that one needs to purchase much more time effective. I also find that to talk to the exhibiters gives me a better concept of their philos ...

New Zealand, wine country

February 4th, 2013
While in Nelson my friend took me for a wine tasting which was lots of fun. We drove for 30 minutes outside of Nelson to a beautiful area of rolling hills farms & vinyards. Neudorf & Woollaston were my favourites. I very much enjoyed the old word charm of the Neudorf winery. Juxtaposed with Neudorf's old school feel was Woollaston's hi teck wine making technique where they use gravity to let ...

Having a good time in Nelson in the top part of the South Island in New Zealand. Arrived for the 2013 Nelson International Chamber Music Festival which happens but once every 2nd year. My timing with this was blind luck but lucky for sure to get to go to some of these concerts. Weather has been very pleasant & overmorrow I will head off to the wine country to taste some Nelson wines.
