When you keep dozing off and returning to the same dream … Continue reading Pregnant at 66 – Yikes!
I rolled out of bed just before nine o’clock and padded, well actually flip flopped, my way to the bathroom where I glanced out the window to see a skim of ice on the lake. It won’t last this time due to an impending warm spell, but a girl can dream, and it brings me … Continue reading One Day In December
I was talking to the potatoes in the kitchen. This is not unusual as I have a habit of talking to most inanimate objects I encounter. These particular potatoes were being peeled and cut so I could parboil them before roasting them to go with a nice roast of pork. Credit goes to my late … Continue reading Talking To Potatoes

The three of us were enjoying bagel eggs, our go-to breakfast sandwich. Bagels broiled with melted cheese on one side and butter on the other then sandwiched with … Continue reading Sleeping Arrangements

By the end of the first week he had become comfortable with stairs, and we moved him back to the main floor where he took up residence in … Continue reading Old Guy Update, Sleep and Hilarity
Is that possible? It certainly feels like it is possible. Is it one of those allergies that develops over time, after a long exposure? After all, I have been having to cook for what seems like forever. Since about 1969 after I turned twelve and my working mother could no longer find someone to do … Continue reading I Think I Am Allergic To My Kitchen
Wait is EV-ing a word? Well why not? I am going to make it a perfect and useful verb. Rebecca, my beautiful new Kona EV, and I have been having some adventures EV-ing around various Atlantic Canadian locations and racking up over 3000 km since we met. Getting to know her has been fairly easy, … Continue reading EV-ing in Lands Short on EV Infrastructure

As usual, life has it's ups and downs. Good moments and bad moments. Happy moments and bitchy moments. Sometimes all of the above in a single day. Sometimes all of the above in a single hour.

Or is it The Bitch VS The Annabelles Several years ago, maybe eighteen or so, The Annabelles were given a home in The Bitch's garden. It was a nice spot, along the path to the shed, with the perfect mix of sun and very fertile soil. The Annabelles were hydrangeas and were beautiful when in … Continue reading The Annabelles VS The Bitch
Early Monday morning, well early for us retired people, I took my banged-up, duct-taped car in for repairs. Some of you will remember my car. The car that I had backed into the plumber's van last year causing the plastic bumper to tear. The car that was also hit on that very same bumper by an … Continue reading It’s Fixed. It’s Washed. I’m Happy.

It had been rather calm in the bitch's life as of late. Some people may even call it boring, although this bitch is never bored.

She didn't mind that this calm state didn't produce … Continue reading Just When She Thought The Bitchiness Was Waning

Focus is a big … Continue reading In Need Of A Car That Talks
Photo by Jude Beck on Unsplash It's February. The month when couples have fourteen days to try to find the perfect way to express their undying love for each other.
