From the sublime to the ridiculous

I was delighted to see a little blue pansy peeking through the snow this morning. I didn’t expect any of my pansies to make it through the winter. So that was my sublime moment today.
Now to the ridiculous. I had made some cream of chicken soup and after tasting it decided it was a little [...]

They’re back and they’re out

The first of the Canada Geese flew over our place this morning on their way north. About a hundred ribboned their way across the sky honking encouragement to each other.

A tribute to a friend

I have a friend who has multiple sclerosis quite badly. She is not beautiful by glossy magazine standards but to me she has always had great beauty for she glows with joy and is always smiling. This wonderful woman lost a son in a dreadful accident, but she came through that great sorrow radiating love [...]

All alone

My husband and his friend left on Monday for the lower mainland. Our friend is moving up to our area and they drove back to get the final load of stuff. I experienced some trepidation at the thought of being alone here for about ten days. Where has my independence gone? I [...]

To those born in the 1930s to 1970s

I found this on another blog at Yahoo. I thought it was good.
ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes. [...]
