Good Frosty Morning!
This image really sums up how I have been feeling about the return of winter. A proper winter that I remember from my youth. Temperatures like these build character! It toughens us up for when the temperatures start to rise. By the time the temperature gets to 0C, we will break out the shorts and flip flops and have dance parties on top of snow piles!!
Wishful thinking I know.
Cheers!

Blog Guelph: A Special Treat
Did you hear Ian Reid as a guest on hoofbeats? If so, you also heard a brand new, never-before-played-in-public-song called Math. Wasn't it wonderful? What a treat! For the horses listening and for us...
If you missed it, you can listen back in the archive at cfru.ca (select program schedule, hoofbeats, archive).

Blog Guelph: Happy Colour
Good Day!
Here is a blast of lovely colour to brighten your day. The freezing temps outside have slowed me right down. I want to crawl under the blankets and hide until spring. Let me know when that is, will you?
Cheers!

Blog Guelph: A Perfect Day
It seems to me a perfect day to play a little music from Jessy Bell-Smith. Today's Pure Guelphishness playlist featured an old release with all instruments Jessy, 'cept Noel Webb on drums and piano & Alison Bell smith on backing vocals.
9:34 Jessy Bell-Smith, Tespasses, Tiny Lights, indie, 2005
9:42 Jessie Bell-Smith, Archie, Tiny Lights, indie, 2005
9:47 Deep Water, Tiny Lights, indie, 2005
9:57 Booze Blooze, Tiny Lights, indie, 2005
If you want to listen back in the CFRU archives, I suggest you select hoofbeats and right click the play arrow - if you save the file you can fast forward through the horse talk and take in the lovely music.
I wasn't able to find a casette she'd released in September, that I heard about another CFRU program, The Second Storey. When I asked Jessy about where folks can buy her music or where the best bio about her is posted, she replied "Well, a lot of those things are underconstruction currently, in fact all of them! I'm releasing my first full length on Feb 14th, so everything should be ready to go at that time." She is a Guelph native, and has spent two years writing and recording her debut album, which is perhaps one of the best albums you will hear from an unsigned artist anywhere. Stay tuned until Valentines!

Blog Guelph: Get Your Skates On
What better way to pull ourselves out of a deep freeze? That's right, show the ice who really is the boss! Slip into your skating booties and glide away. I will be there on the sidelines cheering you on and catching the newbies who fall. Coming from a family of Ice Capades skaters, I rebelled early and wanted to be a hockey player! Alas, back in the 70's, I wasn't one of the brave girls to try to skate with the boys in the local hockey world. A girl can be iced only so many times before she got the hint. Since my Mum wouldn't trade in my expensive Figure Skating skates for hockey skates, I hung them up for good.
I will admit that watching all of the skaters on the rink out front of City Hall has been inspiring. Watching my son improve each time he circles the rink nudges me into thinking that I should take some lessons. Who knows? I may be the woman wrapped in bubble wrap gliding around the rink......
A cautionary word, please save the texting for when you have finished your lovely skate and are off the ice. We bystanders see it all.
Happy 2014!
Cheers!

Blog Guelph: Winter at the Arboretum
My mom was disabled, you see - bedridden, for many years, with Multiple Sclerosis - and we often "walked" this way. I showed her the photos I'd taken at the Arboretum later that day. "We walked here", I'd say, "and here..." and she was so happy to see what we'd "seen".
Little did I know that would be our last walk. The next morning I received a call advising that my mom had passed away. She didn't feel quite right on Christmas Day but seemed better when I saw her on Boxing Day. Her death came as a surprise.
The photos I've shared here today are a few I took that day.
My mom was an inspiration and a wonderful companion to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She loved her family and friends dearly. In spite of the discomfort inherent with being bedridden she maintained a positive attitude, had a real thirst for learning and was a challenging scrabble opponent. She ate healthy food - rarely any "junk", drank 8 glasses of water a day, refrained from taking medications (and flu shots), and strongly believed in the importance of exercise having exercised regularly herself as long as she was able to. Sadly, at St Joseph's she only received 15 minutes of physiotherapy a week.
Considering my mom's circumstances, it's amazing that she lived as long as she did... a true testimonial to the power of love, friendship, healthy habits, continuous learning and a strong will.
And while I never understood how anyone could say someone was in a better place after they died, I do now. My mom faced many challenges - on a daily basis - that hopefully none of us will ever have to face.
Rest in peace, my dear, sweet mom... I'll always love you.
- Kim

Blog Guelph: A Call to Local Musicians! And photographers!
This post is to call out to local musicians. Is your catalogue up to date in the CFRU local library? I would like to know about your local music, and to find it at the radio station for the Pure Guelphishness Playlist. Let me know if I can offer you a hand to make your music available at 93.3fm in Guelph, on hoofbeats and other programs!
This post should feature some lovely photos of the ice storm. But it doesn't, because I couldn't find any on the flicker site we draw from. Why don't you upload your works and add them to the Blog Guelph group? I am wondering if I should do so. But instead/in the meantime, I am posting a quick snap taken on my iphone, of a few friends, taken on a day between Christmas and New Year's.
Enjoy! Kim Logue-like-Vogue
