Birthday Memories

The blizzard had blown itself out, thankfully, but the road was inpassanle for a vehicle. The horse was hooked to the cutter, and a phone call to town meant a car would be at the highway. Last minute instructions to the hired man and away they went. Diagonally across the pasture, through the field, and the transfer was made.

Maple Syrup Trail

It’s always the quandary. Wait for that perfect photo or just accept what I have? In the end the wall paper made my decision. Which seems weird but that is how it rolled. Or perhaps I should say that’s how it unrolled. 

Heavens to Betsies

In the sweetest little boy voice he says “heavens to betsies“. I do not recall the context but it makes me smile each time he says it.  Interestingly enough he’s used this phrase several times but I have no idea where he picked it up. His big sister’s favourite right now is “that’s so weird” when something seems off or mystifying.

Didn’t Finish It Friday

It’s another one of “those stories”. The kind that makes other people shake their head at me while I’m busy being annoyed at myself.

A Long Rabbit Hole

So “it’s” been on my list since I retired 3 years ago. 3 years and it took us 3 evenings to accomplish the task. “It” and a few recent events have sent me down a rabbit hole inside my head so bear with me as I twist and turn.

Mischief Managed

It seems like a weird title for an advent activity based on kindness but it’s what popped into my head. Perhaps I’ve forgotten how to write on the fly daily so will just push onward.

Wish you were here

I spent an hour or so down a rabbit hole. I was so certain that I could find exactly what I was after. Alas I gave up and then later discovered an example of today’s topic.

The best collectibles

The impact of one sentence, spoken to me in 1977, is profound. The implications of those words lead to a single decision that can be traced into so many aspects of my life today.

Played hooky

I played hooky yesterday afternoon. Sure there were weeds in the garden that could have been picked. I know for sure there were definitely shingles that could have come off that roof. Raspberries were ripening fast but still I did it.  Summer is short and a certain little girl asked Nan too come play in her pool.
