An Island Place with Emmess

welcome ever smiles and farewell goes out sighing

proud to be Canadian

Lots More New Photos!

I've uploaded more photos at my Coppermine album - these are my favourites & sometimes I've enhanced them to make them artsy in Paint Shop Pro.

My Kimchi Recipe is Online!

Well now since I've made kimchi a few times & I've got the ingredients & proportions all figured out, I decided to finally put the recipe online - check it out here & make some yourself! I've been told it's quite good.

New Way to View My Photos

Oh boy! I've discovered new places where I can upload my photos! Here at Panoramio I can map my photos in Google Earth! At Image Publishing, Paint Shop Pro Photo, I can upload photos I have edited in PSP to display online.

Update on International Students

Saad has moved to Edmonton to take his english there. We have a new student named Raed (pr. rite) moving in June 15. Then Jungyub will go home to Korea on June 23 & we'll get somebody new again! *whew*

Spring is Here!

I have a little video of mom & pop house sparrow feeding the young'uns right here -

International Students

We've taken in a couple of international students. It's really interesting & fun! One young man, Jungyub, is from Korea & the other, Saad, is from Saudi Arabia. Both are in Canada to learn english & we're proud to be part of their education!

You'll see a lot of different stuff here - I'm not one to stick with one design the whole way through, but I'll try to keep the navigation simple so you don't get lost! I've made a site map to help & I'll try to remember to put my site title on each page so you know you're still at my Island Place. I may put up an 'about me' page one day, but for now, the whole site is sort of about me since it reflects my tastes & ideas. So, browse around. I hope I leave you with a smile!

A New Adventure!

Our product line consists of natural-based health products, natural-based personal care, natural-based environmentally friendly cleaning products and Gourmet food products.

Like Soduko & Tetris?

I've got downloadable Sudoku puzzles here now!

You can also play Simple Tetris (you need IE 4+ for this one) here!
Have fun!

and then the day came when the pain it took to hang on was far greater than the pain it took to let go
