Returning to Normal…

Yesterday was a big day for me. I rode Rene's motorbike for the first time since he died. And I bet you thought this was going to be about COVID. Hardly. Aren't we all just a little tired of even talking about that? As mentioned on numerous occasions, Rene' and I had very little in … Continue reading Returning to Normal… →

You’re Just Like Your Auntie Cindy

This was a statement that my nieces heard often through their lives. It was a running joke way back when. My brothers girls seemed to hear it when they were out of line or pushed the envelope a little. All joking aside, I always knew it wasn't really a compliment. To them or to me. … Continue reading You’re Just Like Your Auntie Cindy →

You know what you should have done….

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have heard this in my lifetime. There's a ton of variation on this sentiment but it all comes down to one thing. You should do it my way. Years ago I bought a new motorbike and I rode it to a rental house I owned. … Continue reading You know what you should have done…. →

My second favourite colour

My granddaughter Missy had a sleepover with me last night. This morning as I had coffee in bed and read my book, Missy went to the dining room to finish some crafts she had been working on the day before. Suddenly she called out to me "Mormor, what's your second favourite colour?" Well I have … Continue reading My second favourite colour →

Journey into a ladies group

Last summer found me out of my element. Cast in to a world of women. Lots and lots of women. Some I know and others are total strangers. The Ladies Golf League. The dynamics that make up a group of women. Any women. And the sometimes eyerolling events that happen. Well last summer was an … Continue reading Journey into a ladies group →

Becoming A Mom

I was nineteen years old when I had my first child. My daughter once told me she thought I resented her because I missed out on so much by having her at such a young age. Well she was wrong on both points. I'm not saying it was easy but I didn't miss out on … Continue reading Becoming A Mom →

Anticipation: Is it better than the real thing?

New years eve came and went. The holidays are over and we are somewhat settled into real life. Or what real life has become. Its easier I think because holidays are so often fraught with rush, overspending, and overall stress. I still wasn't ready for a "normal" Christmas. The joy just wasn't there. In November … Continue reading Anticipation: Is it better than the real thing? →

You Have No Patience for the Mundane

This is what my daughter Drew said to me the other day during a phone conversation. She is correct but perhaps her context has a little more to do with who I am and how I think rather than the world around me. Throughout my life I have become bored easily. And yet, I am … Continue reading You Have No Patience for the Mundane →

Letter to my Mother In Law

Many jokes have been made throughout time about Mothers-In-Law. In fact they have been the subject matter of books and movies forever. They don't often come off in a good light. My husband always said when my son got married I would be a terrible mother-in-law. Well having a son makes me understand how my … Continue reading Letter to my Mother In Law →

Let It Go…

Years ago I was spending the day with my friend Dawn, wandering in and out of stalls at a local Christmas craft sale. It is held at Spruce Meadows which is a local Equestrian show jumping facility. All sorts of events are held here and my youngest daughter held her wedding reception in one of … Continue reading Let It Go… →
