The Clansmen Unite for an Evening of Scotch
I am delighted to report that our Second Annual Scotch Nosing and Tasting Party was another success, being celebrated on (appropriately) St. Andrew’s Day, November 30th. Each guest was greeted by “Angus McDuff, the Laird of the Manor House” (aka Hubby) and myself, his Lady. I don’t think anyone was truly expecting the wild, ginger-haired, crazy […]

Ghouls Night Out
October 30, 2013
(The Cubbyhole Writer has been juggling a few projects in the air of late, so regular posts have been a difficult task. I hope the calendar will finally allow me more time to re-connect with my readers and followers. Thanks for hangin’ in with me!) Somewhere between being mesmerized by the glorious autumnal displays of […]

The Rabbit Hole of Aging
September 30, 2013
It’s a curious thing, getting older. When we’re in our teen years, we so badly want to be older because there are adventures waiting for us. Years go by and adventures do happen. It’s not until middle-age that we notice just how similar we’ve become to our parents, the good and the bad parts. The crazy roller-coaster of life is […]

Gimme Just a Little More Time – Part 2
August 29, 2013
Hubby and I so enjoyed discovering St. Mark’s Annual Craft Fair in Qualicum Beach last year, we just had to return again for this year’s event. With over 100 vendors on site and a half-dozen buildings to sniff around in, it’s best to come prepared with comfortable walking shoes and cash. The smell of freshly baked cookies […]

It has been a busy summer so far! With the temperatures finally cooling a bit now at home, I’ve decided to share some of my favourite photos from my summer travels. Just revisiting these pictures makes me long for another getaway. Hope you enjoy them as much as I had fun taking them. My favourite […]

Hot as Heck on the Deck
July 24, 2013
I’m basted in an exotic marinade of sunscreen and mosquito spray; I’m nearly crispy in a couple of places; I’m cooked to medium-well without a rotisserie in sight. With temperatures of late in the 30-degree Celsius range, I am already done with the heat wave, so done. It’s too darned hot during the daytime for kids to play, […]

A Lesson in People Watching
July 7, 2013
Like the Dark Shadow, you may not detect me, but I’ll be watching you. It sounds a little creepy, but it’s certainly not new. People-watching has been around as long as Adam and Eve and it’s at the core of human curiosity. Throughout our entire lives we are “checking out the other guy”, probing them, […]

A Mini Escape from the Cubbyhole – Part 2
June 13, 2013
It was a bit sad to bid farewell to our lovely digs at the Osoyoos Watermark Beach Resort, but Hubby and I were determined to keep the fun escape going. The journey homeward on the following morning was punctuated with a truly outstanding visit to the Osoyoos Desert Model Railroad. It could have easily been […]

A Mini Escape from the Cubbyhole – Part 1
June 12, 2013
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – (From “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, 1986) I know it’s a double-edged sword when you work for yourself yet you need a goof-off day. There’s no revenue being generated, but the time off is so necessary to […]
