As I write this blog, I am away from home looking after my “grand dog”, Bruce. Bruce is a nine-year-old English Bulldog. He is adorable, although I must admit I was terrified when my daughter told me she had adopted a bulldog from the local animal shelter. It was a surprise for her, as sheContinue reading “Pet Power”

Beltane (Round 2)
Today, Wednesday, May 1, is Beltane. Beltane is one of the four main festivals, or quarters, on the Pagan Wheel of the Year. It is also International Workers’ Day. The spirit of Beltane has not quite hit me yet, and my creative juices have been focused on another project. So, I am going to doContinue reading “Beltane (Round 2)”
To Toss or not to toss
After doing some painting in our house, I stared at the bare walls and debated which photos to hang. You see, before painting, the walls were cluttered with framed family photos and other art. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to re-hang all the family photos. My 30-year-old son suggested I just toss them. “NoContinue reading “To Toss or not to toss”
Better late than never
We all have that one friend (or possibly two) who is constantly late. Late for coffee, late for dinner, late for appointments. They don’t do it intentionally; it just seems to happen. I hate being late for things. To me, it shows a lack of respect for the other person’s time. One day, on myContinue reading “Better late than never”
Don’t get scammed!
We had a major snowstorm the other day. We’re talking close to 30 cm in a few hours. Streets were impassable, and although city crews did get out quickly and clear the main roads, residential areas were a nightmare for days. The next thing I knew, I was getting texts from delivery companies informing meContinue reading “Don’t get scammed!”
Colour My World
Problem: I’m enjoying the warm air, sunshine, and overall relaxed atmosphere of a tropical vacation and can’t seem to wrap my mind around writing a blog. So, I decided to take the easy way out and share a few photos with you. That is an issue, as I have hundreds of photos of Merida. MeridaContinue reading “Colour My World”
¿Como se dice?
One of the things on my “64 and more things to do” list was to practice my Spanish. Oops. Here I am, in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, realizing how lost I am. Thank goodness Spanish is my husband’s first language, and I can just stand back and let him be my voice. That is not somethingContinue reading “¿Como se dice?”
Find Your Awe
When was the last time you saw, felt, smelled, or did something that left you speechless and made your heart soar and your brain do a happy dance? When did you last experience awe? I bet your mind is now going to your latest vacation or flipping back through the major events and milestones ofContinue reading “Find Your Awe”
A New Year, New Possibilities
Wow. The 2000s still sound like a sci-fi movie to me. I have Zager and Evans to thank for that! In the Year 2525, released in 1968, it predicts the end of the world and warns of the dangers of technology, medical exploitation, and, basically, greed, corruption, and power struggles. Their words, as pessimistic andContinue reading “A New Year, New Possibilities”
A wake-up call
I was having a great game. Things were going my way; my shots were landing where I wanted. Suddenly, I felt a “twaaaang” around my right hip. What the heck was that? Oh well, the adrenalin surged, and I kept playing. The strange sensation was forgotten, and I finished the game. Just before the nextContinue reading “A wake-up call”
