Might just live …

I think (without rereading my own blog) that in a recent post, I said that I was on the mend from my cold. I spoke too soon, really, because I spent another few days feeling sorry for myself, coughing a lot through the night, suffering headache and brain fog, oh, and coughing through the day … Continue reading →

Wasn’t that a party?!

Wasn’t that a party?!

Posted on December 18, 2015 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

That’s a  line from a song, in case it’s not a familiar celebratory remark. Today was so fulfilling! My intention was to showcase, show off, and celebrate the work of the builders and tradespeople who worked on my little house in McBride. I wanted to congratulate them and introduce them; they do not need the … Continue reading →

Nothing profound is on my mind tonight. Not a thing. Hardly anything mundane is on my mind either. The Pet Hostel is open a bit later than usual for customers who are driving from Prince George after Christmas shopping. When they texted that they were not going to get here until 9:30 or so, I … Continue reading →

All my darling daughters…

In a month, I have managed to see all three of my beautiful children. Shelly just made her way from Calgary to McBride, and though I thought she endured some extreme winter weather, she reported that the worst stretch, and only truly bad stretch, was between Tete Jaune Cache and our town. Shelly is particularly … Continue reading →

Every day in a pet business is bound to be different, but still, I feel like I’m getting back to routine. Only have Ghost and Bailey boarding, but I’ve learned never to panic during a “slow” time … it always picks up again. After breakfast with Gary, I got a phonecall that the “replacement” sofa … Continue reading →

I’m tired after watching our federal election. Right at the moment, Harper is giving a proper statesmanlike speech. Now give the kid a chance … that’s my thought. Trudeau might do very well. It has been a lovely day of routine, small successes and visiting. I filled the box of the truck with things for … Continue reading →

My mom used to quip, “Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can… seldom found in women, and never found in man.” I love that quote, although I am married to a fellow who possesses a fair share of patience. I’m not entirely gifted, myself, but today I stuck with a couple of tasks … Continue reading →

Fait accompli!

Well… it’s “sort of” done. This afternoon, I finished the job of tiling the huge shower stall at the new house. Grouting comes next and a bit of caulking at the floor. I’m pleased with the project: it’s not perfect, but I struggled hard (and long) and did my best. After I thought I was … Continue reading →

Some days just strike a person as great. It’s not that today was easier than many, but it seemed like I had a few small successes and no glaring failures. Had lunch with a friend … always a good thing! That wasn’t even the start of the day. Had breakfast with Gary, also always a … Continue reading →

Today I didn’t get off the place, so there was no visit to the little house and certainly no work (tiling or any sort of work) done by me. In the afternoon, Gary phoned and said he was at the house and that Ray and crew had poured a sidewalk up to the front porch! … Continue reading →
