Thoughts of Spring and Green (Chest-waders)
The birdies are twittering about again, things are sprouting through the earth, and blossoms are finally venturing forth. Aaah, Springtime! I have heard that in Springtime a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love, but I’m pretty sure that Spring is simply a convenient excuse for some guys to chase a skirt. But what does an […]
Wild Thing – You Make Everything Groovy
March 26, 2012
The cardio portion of the workout is ramping up, just as the sing-along begins: “Wild thing … You make my heart sing … You make everything groovy … Wild thing. (doo-doo-doo-doo) Wild thing … I think you move me … But I wanna know for sure … C’mon, c’mon …” Like finding that perfect, comfortable […]
Waiting for Little Hands – Again
March 15, 2012
When I first became a grandma a little over a year ago, my daydreams frequently were filled with sweet scenarios of playing with our grand-baby, hauling out and enriching her with a few treasured keepsake toys and books from her mother’s infancy. Back then I figured it was my motherly right to squirrel away a few favourite toys […]
Rising to New (Shoe) Heights
March 7, 2012
In the course of trying to de-clutter my closet (a necessary evil), I have sadly discovered yet another aspect of middle-age. In my younger days (pre-grandmotherhood), I regularly donned many a kick-ass, stylish high-heel for work and partying. My footwear selection now seems to have morphed into somewhere between a clog/mule and a comfortable Tender Tootsie. So what happened? […]
Cupid Comes with a Suitcase
February 7, 2012
I’m not sure if the practice of sending/exchanging paper valentines still happens in elementary schools. Given how “un-cool” and controversial that might be in today’s education system, probably not. (If you’re “Liked” on your Facebook page that may be the closest you’d get.) My earliest memories of those Valentine’s Days were full of anticipating a pile of cutesy […]
My Gardening Angel
February 2, 2012
Call it rustic. In fact, the chair looks pretty beat up, decrepit, with the majority of its paint stripped and peeling from the back spindles and seat. From its back’s frame is hung a painted angel with the lettering “Garden Angel” above the wooden cutout. I gave the little sign to my mother over a […]
Pass the Rum Swizzle
January 25, 2012
Aaahhh, idle day-dreaming… It’s what we warm-weather people like to do as we stare outside during the winter, watching yet another snow flurry (or worse than flecks – heavy snow) add to the increasing depths of whiteness in the yard and on the road. Now just imagine the white sandy beaches of Bermuda, clear turquoise waters, […]
You’ve Got Mail – Hugs Included
January 11, 2012
I’m ashamed that while everyone around me is making New Year’s resolutions, I have only now (this second week of January) sent out my annual year-end letter for 2011 to family and friends – the old-fashioned, snail-mail way with stamps and everything. My excuse for not sending my yearly review in a timely manner with Christmas […]
