whole week is declared tolkien week in honour of the man who wrote the lord of the rings saga i love the lord of the rings both the books and the movies i first read the books 35 years ago when i was a young university student i was so engrossed and thrilled by the story that when i was finished i turned right around and read them all again a second time then about 10 years later i read them for a third time someday a fourth reading will be in order i know but now we also have peter jackson s magnificent movies to watch plus next year we ll be able to see his film version of the hobbit very

september 2011 tats to the rescue my father served with the ppcli princess patricia s canadian light infantry after arriving in england from canada the princess pats were shipped to the mediterranean participated in the invasion of sicily and then fought their way up through italy and nazi occupied europe until the war ended at some point dad was shot during a firefight in an italian barn he fell behind a low wall or divider with only one arm protruding into the open luckily his sleeves were rolled up a buddy recognized his tats and carried him to safety and that s how those sweet and wholesome tattoos saved his life photo of ppcli soldier at ortona italy 1943 found here posted by debra she who seeks at 05 34 25 comments labels tattoo chronicles thursday 15 september 2011 what the tats said my father chose very sweet and wholesome tattoos as befitted a prairie boy straight off the farm no naked women for him one tattoo said mother on his other forearm a second tat memorialized a sister who had died young of tuberculosis hearts and flowers surrounded each name a third tattoo said good luck in the midst of four leaf clovers and a horseshoe not too hard to figure out why he got that one his fourth tattoo was somewhat patriotic in nature death before dishonour i can see how that noble sentiment would have appealed to his teenage idealism when i was a little girl i used to sit in his lap and trace his tattoos he would tell me how they had originally been solidly multicoloured red yellow green but with the inferior dyes of that era the colours soon faded out leaving only the dark blue outlines posted by debra she who seeks at 05 33 24 comments labels tattoo chronicles wednesday 14 september 2011 guard duty my dad always swore up down and sideways that he was not drunk when he got his tattoos he got four of them two on each forearm that was the place where servicemen commonly got their tattoos so the tats could be displayed when their sleeves were rolled up unfortunately dad made the mistake of getting all four tattoos done at once as a result his arms were so excruciatingly sore afterwards that he could scarcely hold up his gun while on guard duty but he dared not report to sick bay because the army classified tattoos as self inflicted wounds a court martial offence so he held up his gun for hours paying a painful price for over enthusiastic tattooing posted by debra she who seeks at 05 31 21 comments labels tattoo chronicles tuesday 13 september 2011 my father s tattoos unlike many people i ve met over the years i did not grow up with a negative view of tattoos as weird or ugly that s because my father had tattoos and i grew up seeing inked skin as normal and commonplace dad served with the canadian army during world war ii that s why he had tattoos many servicemen from that war did he volunteered for the armed forces in 1942 when he was 18 years old he got his tattoos not too long after that i suspect getting tattooed was a way for many young men to demonstrate bravado and machismo during a very scary time when their survival was not guaranteed posted by debra she who seeks at 05 32 21 comments labels tattoo chronicles monday 12 september 2011 tattoo chronicles so how do you feel about tattoos love em hate em got any i don t but tattoos intrigue me they always have that s why i m starting this new series dedicated

thursday 8 september 2011 nom nom nom in the peg original pancake house every time i m back in winnipeg i try to make it to the original pancake house on pembina highway for a baby german pancake it s my favourite kind of pancake and i can t sob get one anywhere in edmonton a baby german pancake is baked in the oven brown with slightly upturned edges it has a denser texture than a griddle cake and you don t eat it with syrup oh no you squeeze fresh juicy lemon wedges all over it and then shake icing sugar on top the thick sugar dissolves in the lemon juice and makes a creamy delicious sauce mmmmm heavenly the original pancake house was one of my old stomping grounds when i was a university student it was a little shabby and rundown in those days the owner obviously did not want to put a lot of money into upgrading or refreshing the decor a skinny old geezer he always sat on a hard wooden chair near the cash register at the entrance so he could keep his rheumy gimlet eyes on the waitresses and kitchen staff at the same time he just sat there hour after hour the undoubted king of his castle barking out an occasional command after his death the family extensively renovated the restaurant and added a beautiful solarium wing no wonder it s one of winnipeg s most enduringly popular brunch spots i think they have a couple more locations now too but i always return to the original original and you know what even with all the changes they still use the same brown coffee mugs they used in the 1970s i suspect the old geezer s ghost likes that posted by debra she who seeks
