What would you take to a deserted island?
Thanks to everyone for replying to my post on Canadian music. The winners of Royal Wood's latest CD, Lost and Found, are: Denise Nielsen and Deann. (Please email me your mailing addresses and I will get the CDs out to you.)
Speaking of great Canuck tunes, my neighbours went to see a wonderful live show this week: The Canadian Songbook: A Tribute to Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall. A diverse group of Canadian musicians (Holly Cole, Stephen Page, the Cowboy Junkies, etc.) recreated Neil Young's 1971 concert at the same venue.
I tried to get tickets but it sold out quickly. That's why I was so pleased to learn that the tribute concert will air on CBC Radio 2 on June 29 and July 6 (two parts) at 7 p.m., and on CBC Radio One on July 3at 2 p.m. I am definately going to tune in.
I love CBC Radio. Confession time: when I went back to work from both of my mat leaves, I'm not sure who or what I missed more, my babes or listening to CBC Radio all day long.
If I had to take only a few things to a deserted island ... one of them would be a radio. Oh, and I would demand said island had the frequency to listen to CBC Radio One and Two.
What would you want with you on a deserted island?
Talk to you soon, Kd

Congratulations Denise Nielsen and Deann.
I'm going to ponder on what I would take with me on a deserted island and post it later.

A sharp knife and a mirror. Need the knife to build shelter and kill/peel/chop food. The mirror to make sure I remember what I look like and to start fires with...we are talking about a tropical island right? If it was in the Arctic I would want one of those sleepingbags for the freezing temperatures :p

A magic solar powered laptop, so I could keep up with your latest blogs and the national and international news and of course a solar powered Tim Horton's coffee machine.

My bible, drinking water, journal & writing instrument (pen or pencil); and a toothbrush & paste. And if I were to really plan ~ I'd bring my crocheting, yarn, patterns, hooks & stitch markers & tape measure, scissors. I bet I'd get alot accomplished that way!!!! Wouldn't it be nice if I had some food too??? LOL
like my hubby.
Great ? but I'm sure I'd want someone with me at least part of the time

I would definitely take soap, brush and toothpaste, hair brush, food, shelter, blanket, insect repellent and sunblock. Oh and a couple of really good books. Since my husband is a handy man, I'd bring him and some of his tools too!

I would definitly bring my coffee maker and lots of Tim Hortons coffee. Big box of Dipps carmel granola bars, pepsi and Lays potato chips. Large bag of books. A pillow and cozy blanket. A tent just cuz bugs and rain and stuff. And I would be happy for a week just being by myself because when you are a mom there is not alot of lone time and to me that would be heaven. Oh and pictures of my two kids and my cat Dupont. Ok my husband too. Now this would be a small slice of heaven.

ok...I don't have a laptop computer...but if I did, I'd take it with me so that I could still get on the Canadian Living Blogs!!!!

I would take my dog and husband....;)
However, speaking of getting away- everyone should visit painitpinkcanada.com and see what Avon is doing...you have the chance to win a trip down south!
