I have said before, many times in fact, that I live in a country where it warms up to snow!!! Well, the weather has been hovering around -20ºC for almost a month, now and although it’s been often quite sunny, it’s been far too cold to take a walk longer than from the house to […]
…or maybe that should be, find your word mate. Someone posted a comment to one of my blogs and mentioned the site www.favoritewords.com. This is a site where you can store your favourite word or words and find people who have the same favourite words as you. You do have to login. I haven’t gone
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the notice on my FB wall, Pete Seeger had died. I don’t know why I somehow thought that he would live forever. His obituary in the NY Times is a wonderful tribute, to a man for all reasons. Anyone who has ever sung, “Good-Night Irene,” “Where Have All The
My husband does the grocery shopping. It started a long time ago when his mother came to visit us once, for seven weeks. I didn’t realize that she ate only meat and potatoes. In fact a second vegetable on a plate, at her house, was often potatoes, cooked another way. Sigh. So I made the
……… Mine is worth $9.99US or $10.19 CAD (exchange rate). Here is how I found out. I have finally decided to separate my “life” blog from my “business” blog. This is not really as grand as separating “Church from State” but it may make my posts a little more focused and relevant for Infiknit. The

…Most of the great British authors, who published in the 1800s – Dickens, Hardy, Eliot etc. – wrote for magazines, because periodicals paid for submissions and let’s face it, most of us would rather be paid for our work, than not – just saying 🙂 Hence, the need to both write and pay the rent,
I couldn’t resist this list of people who collect “things” from the site, Mental Floss. If I didn’t live in such a small house and if I didn’t worry so much about becoming my mother, I would collect more. I would definitely have been a stamp collector, philatelist. In fact the other day I was moaning that I had
…..I haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been thinking. Don’t laugh 🙂 I often have to have my mind go blank, quite empty, totally unproductive, like a field lying fallow. Having a blank landscape, gives me time to look for signs on the horizon or to follow the growth of a seed here or
I think that we have all been there. That is, we have said something or done something that set off a chain reaction which ultimately involved a lot of other people. Here’s what happened to me – 1. My 20-year-old son went out after work. At 1:15am, he sent a text to his father saying
