So, two things happened this week that are in my brain on this rainy Friday night. One, I have discovered Daisy Jones & the Six! Wow! I haven’t found a TV show in a very long time that I have absolutely fallen in love with…until now! It is smartly written; it is so well casted;Continue reading “The Interval: early 80s memories”

Attitude of Gratitude
Today I smelled the first of my phlox as they began their emergence into our garden…to me, they smell better than roses. I felt the warm sun on skin and the breeze in my hair. I listened to the cacophony of birds that have made our yard home. Instead of being critical of my lackContinue reading “Attitude of Gratitude”
Strike!
I’m on strike. Because of who my employer is, I am not supposed to talk about them online, so I will not. This blog is NOT about them. It’s about me; a lowly peon who only joined her first union less than a year ago and is now totally overwhelmed with the union machine andContinue reading “Strike!”
February and its lease on love
Hello dear readers…I know, I know, it’s been a very long times since I’ve written. But, you see, I deal with massive bouts of both depression and anxiety and unless the stars align, my brain simply can’t string a sentence together. Life, eh. It’s always when you think things are finally almost figured out whenContinue reading “February and its lease on love”
One Perfect Day
No matter where I am in the world or what time of year it is, I can close my eyes and be transported back through space and time to that one perfect day of childhood. Does everyone have the one perfect day they can escape to? Is it because my childhood was messed up thatContinue reading “One Perfect Day”
Reunion Reflections
As the smell of the newly flowered phlox fills my yard and I am filled to the gills from my cherry tree, I have come to the realization that it’s been quite some time since I’ve written. In the hustle and bustle of life, that happens….the very thing that helps to keep me sane getsContinue reading “Reunion Reflections”
It’s official…
Twenty five years ago, when I joined my family business, I was tasked with implementing an effective safety program. Even though I had grown up around the industry (I remember doing payroll when I was in junior high school!!), it was still quite a task for someone new to construction in general and new toContinue reading “It’s official…”
As Valentine’s Day Approaches…
I am the most cynical romantic that you will ever meet. I love sappy songs and sappy poetry and sappy movies. I can watch the movie Sweet Home Alabama with the volume off and speak every line! Sleepless in Seattle, too. My favourite childhood movie was Anne of Green Gables and that moment where AnneContinue reading “As Valentine’s Day Approaches…”

Dear Sean Fraser
In my blog post titled “Peut-etre En Septembre”, I told our devastating story of Joan being stuck in the Dominican Republic for almost six months due to the Trudeau government’s decision to cancel all direct-to-Canada flights from the Caribbean. I was baffled by the decision when it was announced and as I sit here, inContinue reading “Dear Sean Fraser”
