Life experiences
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything’s startin’ to hum
Still, it’s a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Between trying to organise my life, juniors, and my parents PLUS taking night school, I have been terribly remiss in posting.
BUT the dust is settling, my friends, and I’ve got lots of good reading coming your way: Continue reading

The Danish Canuck
After many months, a delightful trip to Denmark (See the Danish Canuck for the highlights), and the inevitable depression that follows, I’m back.
No doubt many of you have given up on me. Frankly I’d kinda given up on myself. Continue reading
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying’ for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Johnny Nash – I can see Clearly Now
Good Morning. Let the stress begin…
My first inclination is to describe 2015 as an “annus horibilis”.
Certainly there were enough bad things going on to warrant it. Continue reading
When I heard of the attacks in Paris, my heart broke. Is this what the civilized world had come to? Yet junior seemed unmoved.
While watching the CBC, tears streaming down my face, I worried about my friends, my friend’s friends, my family in DK, my family in Italy. Where would the cowardly acts of stupidity stop?
Junior says, “It’s not happening here, it’s not happening to people I know. I’ll save my tears for then, otherwise I’ll run out of tears.” I understand that. He’s watched me cry for almost a decade but I haven’t run out yet. Continue reading
Music has always been a huge part of my life. Some albums I loved so much and played so often that they became the background

What a Whirlwind!
My dear friends, I haven’t forgotten you.
It’s just that life has been a bit of a whirlwind the past couple of weeks ALL of my own doing.

Dreams Road Sign
You ask me what’s my pleasure,
A movie or a measure.
I’ll have a cup of tea
And tell you of my dreamin’

Blondie (Dreamin’)
When I think of all the dreams I’ve had over the years, I wonder why some came true, some didn’t and some didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted. Continue reading
And what a glorious day it is. I love birthdays and I love celebrating them. I just don’t understand people who don’t.
The weather on the damp coast is uncharacteristically sunny and warm. The birds are singing, the neighbours chickens are clucking.
The beautiful weather means that the strawberries, my favourite, are ready 2 weeks early and are beautifully red and sweet. And I can walk to a new boulangerie in my neighbourhood for a fresh croissant.
Does it get better than this?!?!? (Cue the happy dance!)
