Off the grid…

Off the grid…

Posted on November 30, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

We didn’t want to be, but we were “off the grid”, without Hydro power, for 28 hours. It was uncomfortable in some ways, inconvenient too, but did not create for us the kind of hardship it did for many others. Overnight on Wednesday, we had about a foot of snow. Gary and Rob were skiing … Continue reading →

Missing Fiona…

Posted on November 22, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

Humans are given a life that is long, if we’re lucky, and so we are destined to have to say goodbye to several or many pets, as we pace our decades. Gary and I haven’t seen Fiona for weeks. She has been the barn cat who greets us daily, running up to us with a … Continue reading →

A good week…

A good week…

Posted on November 22, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Although dog grooming is work I love, I haven’t been sad to have a slower week. Today I groomed this little favourite, a shih tzu cross named Ginger, who is affectionate but very humble. On my Pet Hostel Facebook page, someone remarked that she looks “sad”, but she actually is happy and always has had … Continue reading →

Headway…

What relief it is to be getting caught up with bookwork. The tax preparer to whom I take my information is indeed a miracle worker. She’s honest, and so am I, but she found things I missed and got one overdue return done overnight. She is working on last year’s now, so the light at … Continue reading →

Coffee with friends…

That’s what I’m doing here with you! Gary and I went into McBride to vote today. We can both vote for a Regional District rep and School Board Trustee, and I can vote for the town’s Mayor and Councillors (as I own properties in town). My daughter Susan could vote for town council too, but … Continue reading →

Sleepless…

Posted on November 14, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

It’s only 1 am, so I’m hardly in sleep-deprivation trouble yet. I’ve been to bed once, but can’t quiet my mind, so here I am visiting with you! Am feeling better again, more like “myself”. While I was so worried about income tax, and having discovered that there is an HST/GST component to the tight … Continue reading →

More kisses from clients…

Posted on November 13, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

No matter what kind of day (or night) I’ve had, little kisses from a dog like Tasha will perk me up. Here, she is sitting on the floor with me, happy to have the attention. She was not at all fazed by her “spa treatment”! I guess it’s all a journey… I found out what … Continue reading →

Best puppy ever…

Posted on November 12, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

This little guy kept my morning bright, even as I knew that my daughters were travelling the Parkway to their home in Calgary (they arrived safely in good time!). “Shadow” is a schnoodle, a schnauzer & poodle cross. He has a somewhat coarse but wavy and glossy coat, with just a little undercoat or puppy … Continue reading →

Gloom …

Posted on November 4, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Nothing terrible happened, but I sure didn’t have my usual groove today. The weather was sharp and breezy, until it was dark and rainy. Winter is coming and I wish we could just get on with it … the gloomy dampness and biting wind are oppressive. I just couldn’t seem to get my mojo going … Continue reading →

Dad, forever in my heart…

Posted on November 3, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

My dad died on November 2 in 2004. It doesn’t seem that long ago, most days. The tragedy of his life was that his last years were spent in confusion and angst, despondency, dementia. Even in the early 1990s, Dad started changing… his outlook, mood and attitude. He would snap at me unexpectedly over insignificant … Continue reading →
