Forgive the typos today! Good morning! I’m back. Well, sort of. The eyes aren’t 100 percent yet, but they are amazingly close. The experience was incredible. It was unlike any thing that I expected. Will I have to wear glasses again? I won’t know for sure for another six weeks–that’s when I’m to see myContinue reading “Day 19 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter S”

Good morning. I hope you’re all having a great day. I’m not really here today. I’m resting my eyes as ordered after cataract surgery yesterday, but I’m thinking of you all. Today’s letter is R and the R words I’ll focus on will be retirement and rest since that’s what I’m doing or will beContinue reading “Day 21 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter R”

If you are looking for A to Z 2026, it’s the post before this one. Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales. Spring has sprung. As if! It’s -3C with the wind, but I have cataract surgery today, so what do I care? This week the authors from Tuesday Tales are crafting their scenes around theContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From the Word SAUCE”

Good morning. I’m excited about this Monday because it’s my cataract surgery day. Tomorrow may be a bit more difficult as I try to keep busy, since I won’t be allowed on the computer or even watching television, but I’ve got audio books loaded and I’m ready to go. I even bought special headphones toContinue reading “Day 17 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter Q”

Good morning. Well, the third week of the A to Z Challenge Blog for this year is complete. I’m having a great time just filling the page with random thoughts that happen to suit a particular letter. I’m especially happy to be traveling along with friends I’ve made in Europe, Australia, and the United States.Continue reading “Another Week Over.”

Good morning. How is your weekend shaping up? We’re expecting 25 C here today, and maybe it won’t rain the entire day. Unfortunately, we’ll be down to single digits again Sunday and Monday. That’s the way it is these days. I plan to worship every nice day we get this summer, no matter how hotContinue reading “Day 16 of the A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter P”

Good morning. It’s raining again. Can you believe it? Six days in a row. We’re luckier than some places in the province and even in the city since we live at the top of a hill, but there are more than a few flooded basement around. It’s hard to stay motivated these days, and justContinue reading “Day 15 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter O”

These last few days, I’ve read a lot of blogs that featured Kindness for the letter K, just as I did. It’s obvious that I’m not the only one who feels as if the world needs more of it, so here’s a reminder of what truly matters. Right now, there are people who just seeContinue reading “Day 14 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter N”

Good morning. It’s another rainy day here, but as I got home from the orthopedic surgeon yesterday, I noticed buds on my spring flowers. The matched my mood since I’m good for another year–exercise and physio should be good enough to keep leg number two out of surgery for at least another twelve months. Today’sContinue reading “Day 13 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the letter M”

Good morning. Well, today will be a busy day for me. Unfortunately, it’s another rainy day–Noah may have to start work on the ark again. I have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon today for X-rays and my one-year evaluation of my hip replacement. We’ll be discussing next steps for hip number two. It’s nowhereContinue reading “Day 12 of the 2026 A to Z Challenge Blog for the Letter L”
