I’m sharing what’s left of this fine morning with you dear folk. While I “tackled” the pot of coffee that Gary left for me earlier (this is a ski day), I have spent almost two hours looking through emails and Facebook. That, of course, is after caring for the few pet guests we have at … Continue reading
If I spent as much time cleaning and sorting as I spend thinking about that, I’d have a spotless and organized home. I guess I’ll never be a “minimalist” as are some of my friends. I’m unlikely to be on a reality series episode about hoarding, either, partly because I’m cognizant about my tendency to … Continue reading
Our front yard a few moments ago. Photo by Gene Blackman, of nearby Mica Mountain. From hot tub last night. The nearly-full moon looked breathtaking last night … photo doesn’t come close. We’ve had our Sunday breakfast, which was eggs Benedict, with “real” hashbrowns from frozen baby potatoes. I’m stuffed. Yesterday, I ventured to Dunster … Continue reading

It is a gorgeous day in the neighbourhood. Of course we might still experience some harsher winter weather and hellaceous driving conditions, but here … Continue reading
Here I am on Saturday night, in Gary’s recliner with my feet up, watching “Tidying Up” on Netflix. Yes, I’m still in that mode: good intentions, great plans, plenty of time available on many days. The host of the series is the author of the book, “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” that I … Continue reading
Yesterday we learned that a friend (of our age group) had succumbed to cancer. Jim gave a valiant effort to surviving, and he will be missed. His son and stepsons went to elementary school with my (Pat’s and my) daughters at Dunster, and high school in McBride. During the day, Shelly became aware that her … Continue reading
Hope your year ahead is pleasant and healthy and prosperous. If you are reading this blog, we must have some level of friendship, mutual respect and/or love. Sending bigs hugs out, especially to those who need improved quality of life in 2019 and beyond. We were awakened by folks in distress at our door, at … Continue reading
