Radio was one of my favourite classes during my time at Carleton. I ended up focusing on documentary film production (which was actually what I wanted to do with my life at the time) but the magic of sound never really left me.
Sound is a very powerful thing. It brings you places that mere words and silent photos cannot. That’s why I recorded the sound of our dark and foggy walk this morning.
If you’re reading this now, I urge you to take a moment to turn up your speakers and listen to the sound behind the photographs I took for you. :)
Take a deep breath of cool foggy air, and come linger with me for a minute among the blackbirds and grey gravel pathways. Click the arrow below to begin. :)
This week’s craft over at Canadian Family Magazine isn’t really a craft, it’s a fun activity… one that happens to result in your kids (maybe, hopefully, GOD WILLING) eating broccoli. You heard me right. BROCCOLI.
I know this is really last minute but yesterday I received twelve passes to see Mirror Mirror at Silvercity Gloucester tomorrow morning. It looks like a great little family movie but we can’t attend. (The girls are so sad about this. They love fairy tales. And this story has a twist which we like!)
Check out the trailer:
The showing is on Saturday March 17 (that’s THIS Saturday) at 10:00 a.m. It’s a special preview screening, which means you get to see it before anyone else does! Cool eh? Just take my advice and go EARLY. This is critical because the organizers tend to overbook. (We always make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes in advance.)
This is not a giveaway, it’s first come first served.
I have three groups of four passes each. The first three families who post a comment below will get ’em. (To clarify, each family will receive FOUR passes. Extra passes cannot be purchased at the theatre.)
You must be able to come get them from me here in Westboro. I’ll leave them in my mailbox for you!
Please make sure you can attend before leaving a comment. I want to make sure these tickets get used.
