My children think I am a hippy. My husband thinks I am A.D.D. My grandchildren know I have candy. A child of the sixties, a teen in the seventies and a wife and mom in the eighties, and so on. My life this far has been an education. People say some things never change but my husband says I become a completely different person every three years. Sometimes controversial, sometimes devils advocate, and sometimes actually wise. Always looking to the future. One thing is certain, I know who I am. I am grateful for these last 6 decades and the lessons they brought. I welcome the ones to come.

My Patched Jeans

A few years back, when ripped jeans were becoming the rage, I bought a pair. Very baggy, a few strategically ripped parts and folded bottoms. They were a very light denim colour and rode low on my hips. They were the most comfortable pants I owned. Now these jeans were everything an older gal like … Continue reading My Patched Jeans →

Catch And Release, A Metaphor for Life

I was watching my granddaughters hockey game the other night when this phrase suddenly entered my mind. The girls are typical of kids this age in their skillset as hockey players. As individuals they vary in their strengths. There are tall and short. Some skate well and others not as well. There are some with … Continue reading Catch And Release, A Metaphor for Life →

Why Are Mothers So Annoying?

Reading my favourite columnist Carolyn Hax, a few weeks back, a reader was commenting about her Mom, her mother in law and just Mothers in general, It seems both she and her husband are annoyed 50 to 60% of the time. The complaints ranged from unsolicited advice to chewing too loudly. I'm not sure if the reader was … Continue reading Why Are Mothers So Annoying? →

What Exactly Is Success?

You know when I ask myself questions like this my first go to is the dictionary. I hate to say it though, today that really didn't help me much. Seems that the dictionary consortium is a little vague on this one. Apparently success is achieving results that are wanted. Or hoped for. It can be … Continue reading What Exactly Is Success? →

Oh What a Summer It has Been…

It is officially Fall and I love it so much. The crisp air. The smell of the falling leaves. My walks along the river now have a clear view through the trees. That last mowing of the lawn as I shred leaves and toss them into the surrounding flower beds. I am a lazy composter. … Continue reading Oh What a Summer It has Been… →

The Jays Won… (3 to go)

I caught the first couple of innings last night as I sat at the counter at my local Denny's restaurant. I am not a TV gal and so I don't have cable. I had a beer and some bad for me pub food as I watched the silent screen. The Jays were down by 1 … Continue reading The Jays Won… (3 to go) →

I Love My Nest

Years ago, when my oldest child was born I enrolled into a children's book club. Every month two new books came in the mail and after a few years we had quite the collection. Every Dr. Seuss book adorned our shelves and then a hodge podge collection of various authors made their way into our … Continue reading I Love My Nest →

The UPS Doesn’t Come By Anymore…

A delivery truck just stopped by my neighbours house to deliver a package. I suddenly had a feeling of loss. Sadness. Tears welling in my eyes. It has been so long since a package has been delivered to my house. Suddenly I am missing my husband and a cry session follows. I don't shop online. … Continue reading The UPS Doesn’t Come By Anymore… →

Life… Journey or Destination

In the last month I went to two funerals. They could not have been any more different. The first was my mother-in -law. She was coming up on her 95th birthday but her health was failing. She had a long and varied life but she had lost her husband as well as two children and … Continue reading Life… Journey or Destination →

First Love

I was in grade six when I went to the Friday night movies with a young man in grade five. We were both very nervous as we met in front of the theatre. He was there with some friends as I walked up with my girlfriend. There were three couples meeting that evening, all arranged … Continue reading First Love →
