Public Service Message
Europe switched from Daylight to Standard time last weekend, so this message isn’t for my readers there. My clock radio switched automatically a day early, which meant Saturday morning was a scramble when I realized it was an hour later than I thought. My oven I think I can handle – I do have a […]
Which Would You Choose?
I could say much more on this topic, but this is one of times when the picture really is worth a thousand words. As the cliche says, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Yes, life isn’t always easy – but giving up is.
Winter Wonderland?
It is only October. It isn’t supposed to snow yet. At least not in Ottawa. This snowfall will all melt away, but it is a reminder that winter is coming. I’m not ready for it. I don’t think anyone ever is. Still, it looks pretty.
What’s Your Guess?
I was in too much of a rush to eat and didn’t get a good picture, but this was what I had at Poutinefest Thursday. I had originally planned to buy a Thai poutine, probably with beef and peppers, though the sprig roll version was also appealing. Then I saw this one. A combination I […]
Thanksgiving 2023
Thanksgiving Day in Canada today. Pouring rain where I am, so I won’t get out for a walk to enjoy the fall colors like I usually do. The family celebration was on Sunday. Given the rain, I thought I’d repeat what I posted here in 2015, when Thanksgiving was a sunnier time. It is Thanksgiving […]

Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and unexpected challenges that can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and […]
Taking The Time
The leaves are beginning to change color, a sure sign that Autumn is upon us. I took some time yesterday to reflect. I joined with some friends at the Bethesda Renewal Centre in Ashton, Ontario, to get caught up on each others’ lives. The same group of people has been meeting twice yearly (or more […]
One Last Time…
I took a couple of days off from this space for some family activities and getting caught up on a few things. I felt mildly guilty, but only mildly. Blogging is something I do for fun. That I usually manage to post daily is an indication that I’m enjoying the experience. It is in the […]
How Frustrating!
Do you play word games? Do you usually solve them? The past couple of years I have done Wordle almost daily. My daughter first discovered it and soon the game became a matter of friendly family competition to see which of us was better at solving the daily puzzle. (For the record, we usually took […]
Blogging a Dead Horse?
It’s late Saturday in my time zone, and I haven’t posted yet today. So a reminder of the reader survey seems appropriate.
