Happy Canada Day 2024!
Well, here we are, officially halfway through 2024. For many Canadians including me, Canada Day marks the official start of summer. Schools out, the weather is sunny and warm–well, at least most of the time, and people plan their time, and that includes their Canada Day Celebrations. When our children were younger, it meant tripsContinue reading “Happy Canada Day 2024!”
Tuesday Tales: From the Word SEEDS
Welcome to the end of June. 2024 is halfway completed. Where did the time go? This week, the Tuesday Tales crew is writing to the word prompt SEEDS. I’m continuing with Listen to the Stones.

Tuesday Tales: From the Word GREEN
So far, summer has been promising with heat, sun, and the occasional shower, but not everyone is experiencing good weather and my thoughts are with those who struggle with the heat, the rain, and storms. This week, the authors of Tuesday Tales are writing to the prompt GREEN. I’m continuing with Listen to the StonesContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From the Word GREEN”
Tuesday Tales: From the Word FLIMSY
Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales. Our prompt is FLIMSY. I’m continuing with Listen to the Stones. Once again I’m about 20 words over. Sorry.

This, That, and the Other Thing
Good morning! The neighbor’s cat has found an unusual place to take a nap this morning. The birds aren’t thrilled, and you can hear them chittering in the background, but she doesn’t care. Cats sleep wherever they like. Well, after a less than spectacular start to spring with an April snowstorm, it seems as ifContinue reading “This, That, and the Other Thing”
IWSG Blog Post for June 2024
June 5 question – In this constantly evolving industry, what kind of offering/service do you think the IWSG should consider offering to members?

Body Betrayal: Broken Glass
I broke a wine glass last night. It was one of my favorites, a perfect match to the one on the left, and I loved it. Woe is me! It was also half-full of white wine and ice. It didn’t simply break at the stem. No, the glass shattered into at least twenty pieces, someContinue reading “Body Betrayal: Broken Glass”
