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.

Did They Really Hurt You or Did They Just Not Live Up To Your Expectations

Wow. That was a title and a half. I just couldn't think of another way to word this post. But now that I look at it again, I guess that kind of says it all. Never the less I am going to give you a little deeper look into my opinion on the matter. Because it is my blog. Whether … Continue reading Did They Really Hurt You or Did They Just Not Live Up To Your Expectations →

Geraniums… The Old Lady Flower

Years ago I was helping my oldest daughter with the flower gardens around her new home. The new cabin I bought had been owned by a landscape architect and the yard was full of flowers. We split a bunch of the overgrown plants and did quite a lovely job filling in the beds around her … Continue reading Geraniums… The Old Lady Flower →

Socialism; The American Bogeyman

For Americans it seems that socialism is like the bogeyman. Mind you, they have a lot of bogey men. But it seems that this particular fear threatens life as they know it. Their rights and freedoms will all be stripped away. Life will suck. Their role as the greatest country in the world is at … Continue reading Socialism; The American Bogeyman →

It’s Easy To Be Kind

Recently I was having a bad day. That often leads to a pity party of one. Which is okay as long as the party ends and we go back to our regularly scheduled programming. The next day I was in a social situation with a lot of people from my very distant past as well … Continue reading It’s Easy To Be Kind →

Dad’s wisdom

My husband Rene' was a collector of sayings. When he retired, his most prized possession from work was his folder of jokes, quips, cartoons and funny stories. He was an observer in life and was known for his wit and quiet demeanor. My kids and their friends were somewhat afraid of him as children but … Continue reading Dad’s wisdom →

It’s Time To Follow Ben Franklin’s Example

Benjamin Franklin is a name recognizable to most of us living here in North America. He was an incredibly well rounded intellectual who dipped his finger in every endeavour imaginable. Be it publishing, politics, or science he was a force to reckoned with. He certainly wasn't perfect, as is seen in his owning of slaves, … Continue reading It’s Time To Follow Ben Franklin’s Example →

Relax. It’s Just The Age of Aquarius Baby!

Not sure about you, but it seems as if the world is really uptight lately. And it seems to be getting worse. This isn't your everyday usual whining. It is hard core doom and gloom. It seems like every time you turn around there is an overabundance of negativity being spewed into the cosmos. It … Continue reading Relax. It’s Just The Age of Aquarius Baby! →

Do It Like Jane

I have a lead foot when I drive. I get onto the open road and I go fast. Don't get me wrong. In the city, residential areas, school and playground zones, I obey the rules of the road. But the open highway? I just go. Fast. I know that people hate the multi-nova cameras, but … Continue reading Do It Like Jane →

Got A Secret? Please Don’t Tell Me

We have all had this happen right? Someone shares a bit of gossip about another person. A friend maybe. Or relative. Maybe it's a work thing. They tell us a big long juicy story and then end it with "Don't tell anyone. It's a secret". What? Wait. No no no... Yeah. It's at this point … Continue reading Got A Secret? Please Don’t Tell Me →

Levi Strauss or Levi-Strauss

I have my favourite Authors and I never get rid of their books. I find with my brain, I can re read them a few times and completely forget the ending. But even if I remember the general gist of the plot, I find each reading reminds me of something I forgot or completely glossed … Continue reading Levi Strauss or Levi-Strauss →
