Inspector Gadget Needed

Picture this. Canada, 2021. (Any Golden Girls’ fans out there?). A middle-age, blonde-haired lady living rurally in amongst modern technological times. Despite the many advancements around her, everyday household items purported to make life easier seem NOT to work as they should. Let me share some of her examples since she’s sure there are other …

Black and White Like a Zebra

In keeping with the times, I’ve decided that I have a list of things that I am offended by as of late. No offence intended. 1. Zebras—their stripes bother me! I feel that they are too linear, too black and white. Personally, I’d like to see some grey in there. It would make me feel …

There’s Always One

Courtesy of reddit.com Have you ever noticed that mixed, specialty packs of things always contain a dud or two that no one really likes or wants? It’s like there is an unwritten (or maybe it is written?) rule by product companies that if they are going to offer variety packages to customers, they must include …

Drooling Over Myself Decades Later

As a child, I used to watch my parents fall asleep in their rocking chairs after dinner.  I could never figure out how they could sleep sitting upright like that, heads dangling, often snoring which never worked out well for TV watching for us kids.  That was okay though, because their nap time equalled more …

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 …

Duck, Duck, Goose

  Tell me that it can't be that time of year again?  What if I just flat-out refuse to believe it?  I'm guessing that choosing to turn a blind eye to it all won't change the results, but maybe it will help to talk about it.  Maybe... Different parts of the world have certainly been …

Hop Along Sue

Oh, hop along Sue, Just what can you do? I can crutch and scoot, All the day through. Oh, hop along Sue, Just what can you do? I can pivot, I can stretch, And reach for things too. Oh, hop along Sue, Just what can you do? I can step and shuffle, From heel to …

Blonde Girl Vs. Cockroaches and the Like

Oh dear....one of the few downfalls of travelling to tropical places, such as Hawaii is dealing with all of the critters that otherwise don't exist back home in the cold throes of Canada. For that, I am grateful. If, rather when:-), we hopefully move here, I think the fumigator will become my best friend on …

Spring Fever

This is it, folks!  This is the time of year that we have all have been looking forward to when spring has officially sprung...well, on the calendar anyway.  Not sure what it is or has been like where you reside, but in our part of the northern hemisphere wherein winter has been a long, recently …

Slices of Lemon Sky

While there are a few interesting lines in this sunset picture, it is the seeming appearance of lemon slices in the cloud that really caught my eye.  Then again, maybe I am just a 'sucker' for all things cumulus?  Ha, ha.  Either way, my hope is that the imagery above has the ability to pucker up …
