July 28, 2022July 28, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

It all started with the wind spinner… No wait a minute, that’s not right. It all started with several piles of goose crap on the beach where we launch the kayaks. But if you want to go further back than that, it actually started when a small flock of beautiful, majestic, but very shitty Canadian … Continue reading Stella, Finn, Oscar and The Wind Spinner

With women in the United States losing such an important right, the right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, I believe it is more important than ever to share women's stories.
