Toronto Explosion

There was a massive propane explosion on August the 10th in Toronto  Canada.

One fire fighter died and if heard right  a employee has been uncounted for

My heart goes out to all the families and people who got houses damaged and had to evacuate

and the family of the fire fighter who was killed

and I hope they find the employee  too  :(

if you have no idea what happened here is a link to a youtube video:

I would of been really scared if I was witnessing this all

Thank God for the Police and the Firefighters who keep us safe

The Symbol Part 2

Thank you to my lovely friend on Deviant art and a very nice guy who commented on my blogs I have found out what the symbol means.  It’s a symbol from the fraternal order of the Knights of Pythias.

the three letters in the triangle mean this Friendship, Charity and Benevolence

The fraternity was founded in Washington, DC, February 19, 1864, by Justus H. Rathbone and was the first order to be chartered by the act of congress which I thought was  interesting .

If you want to learn more about them they have a website  at  http://www.pythias.org/

Another question answered…

Thanks to Aaron and Tez13  for helping me out

and another big thanks to John for everything he does

Strange symbols in the graveyard

Yes I have this weird love for graveyards… I love the peacefulness, I love to hear the birds sing, and for some reason I feel really relaxed.

Tonight I was walking in the graveyard taking pictures with my digital camera when I came across this strange symbol. Freemasons have symbols kinda like this one.. could it be a freemason symbol? If anyone knows what it is please tell me I am so curious about it

My landlord is a dumb….

Today I went on a cleaning rampage in my house again.

While I was cleaning my bathroom I noticed the plastic wall covering stuff they use in showers coming off again…

Crap..  I thought this means I am going to get my landlord in here again to ”fix it”

When my landlord ”fixes” things it usually means duct tape and other things

and when I say duct tape I mean duct tape..

The last time this happened to our shower he actually fixed it with duct tape

I think my bathroom someday might actually all be all duct tape soon  80%  duct tape and 10% original bathroom…

The time our sink in our kitchen broke it took him 3 weeks to replace the water facet because he refused to let the old one go.. ( I am amazed he didn’t use duct tape)

My landlord is cheap so so very cheap… he refuses to fix things but he wants to sell the building I live in

he wants 1/2 of million dollars for the building and property I live on… what the heck… who would want to buy a piece of crappy land and a building that is made out of duct tape for that much..

The last time I complained to him about my neighbour trying to breakdown my door because he thought it was his house all he said was …. I can’t help it

I know it’s hard to evict people… but when these people make a lot of property damage and sell drugs believe you have the right to get rid of them..

Okay that was a little vent

my lung are hurting from all the bleach like substance I used

Summer nights

It’s hard to feel sleepy during the summer… the heat, the noise, and just feeling blah.

Nothing new or exciting happened yesterday besides working on a few new things for my site and putting some up in the window.. anyways…

I’ve been working really hard on my goals and dreams and someday I hope the accomplish them all.

All I want in life is to be a Wife a mother to  follow God and to bead for a living

I know I must be simple but it’s what I want in life…  I tried the school thing and being stuck in a room full of people who dissed my beliefs and the work that I didn’t agree with either… just irked me.

Anyways I am going to get my butt in bed and read a book till I fall asleep.

Fun and the Sun

Yesterday I went out of town for a little day trip to the lovely town of Campbell River

I did a little clothes shopping buying a new pair of jeans and some new light t-shirts.

I met some new people and chatted a bit…

Today I did a little cleaning and tried to beaded a little jewelry.

nothing much really as I feel really under the weather with this stupid cold of mine and it being so hot outside.

I got some new deviants up on my site and some new items on my webpage

Hello Everyone

Thank you for praying for Ray everyone…

I saw him a little today and he seems to be doing alright for the situation he is in.

I think I am going to start a book review thing on my blog…   I use to read about 3 books a week so I think it’s time to start that again…

so when I finish a book I’ll write a review about it and give it a rating between 1 and 5

anyways I added some new deviants to my DeviantArt account please check them out

I have nothing really to say about today…

Ray’s mom passed away today at the age of 80 she lead a good life… I met her once, the day before she had her stroke.

She was a strong lady who saw a lot of things happen in her life from being in Europe in World War 2 to having to look after Ray after his brain injury

Ray always spoke high things about her and I can tell he loves his mom very much

Please pray for Ray
