When It’s Too Much…

I know I shouldn't, but I do it anyway.  I have to know what's going on.  What if I miss something really important?  What's happening isn't right, it isn't fair!  I'm in disbelief. "I feel compelled to look," I said.  "I can't help myself." "That sounds like an addiction," he stated matter-of-factly. ---My world stopped!---- Sadly, …

The End of the Line

Every now and again, a new wave of coronavirus sadness hits me.  It did the other day.  As of this morning, an internet search reveals the current stats worldwide: Global cases Updated 21 Jul: Confirmed 14,707,451 +199,960 Deaths 609,986 +3,813 Recovered 8,294,208 +160,545 (I'm assuming that the + means those added within the last 24 …

The Spring Silt of 2020

One of many of the National Parks’ closed campground stalls because of COVID19.I've been coming to some of Canada's National Parks since I was a little baby. That's a long time ago now. This year is quite different around here for obvious reasons. It appears that no one or nothing can escape COVID19; even the …

Trucks, Coffee, Shoes and Visits

Have you ever had that elated feeling from finally being able to do something that you once used to, but were no longer able to for whatever reason?  The answer is likely yes, since we've ALL had similar experiences wherein COVID-19 has restricted our 'normal' day-to-day life routines.  I know that I have definitely rejoiced …

At Least One Good Thing

Hmmm... I have to admit that I am curious about how you all are feeling about things now that we are few months into this pandemic.  Obviously, I'm sure that we all continue to feel overwhelmed by the mass loss of life and the many other devastating effects caused by COVID-19, but still I have …

A Title About Titles

It looks like one crafty librarian had a little bit of fun playing around with book titles--re-arranging them to reflect these crazy pandemic times.  You have to hand it to him/her and to COVID-19, as it has sure brought out our inner creativities.  Maybe that is one of the many good things to come from …

The Inconvenient Truths

I'm starting to get a little house stir crazy!  Undoubtedly, our endless rain and gloomy skies as of late are not helping the situation, but the travel bug has long since bitten me and I cannot answer its loud, commanding call.  To boot, many of our TV and news ads of late are trying to …

The Other Pandemic Worth Reading About… Please.

Sometimes we see the path ahead of us, sometimes we don't. Other times, we think we know what lies before us & then whammo!--there's an unexpected turn, a steep hill or even a large hole that we must navigate if we are to go forward.  Of course, knowing what we have to do or conquer …

A Normal Kind of Day :-)

Yesterday was one of the most 'normal' kinds of days that I've had in awhile and I was grateful for it, not to mention that the weather was spectacular-- one of our nicest days so far this spring.  I managed to fit in a mix of things at home, both inside and outside, and I …

Proceed With Caution

  Definitely now is one of those times in life when we find ourselves treading very carefully with pretty much everything that we do.  We are in unchartered territory and every literal move, or not, that we make has the potential to have consequences for either ourselves or our loved ones and dire ones at …
