You might want to sit down and get really comfortable when reading this short story… and before you ask, “Yes, this is a true story.” My husband might not be keen on me admitting that, but I must. My husband and I were only married a little over three years. We were still getting toContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO OUR NEIGHBORS”

CHOSEN
Perhaps you have a special personal story of delight and surprise. Like any woman, my age is neither posted at the local post office nor on Facebook. In case you are curious, I am older than some and younger than others, and a physician would likely be informing me that I needn’t worry about birthContinue reading “CHOSEN”
OUTSIDE HOSPITALITY
“Meals on Wheels“ Do you often think that if you are going to have coffee or dine with a friend that it must be at Starbucks, or a fancy restaurant? Let me introduce you to a new location. It won’t necessarily be fancy and the atmosphere may even leave a few things to be desired.Continue reading “OUTSIDE HOSPITALITY”

BUS DELIVERY OF A NEW FRIEND
When you frequent a place, don’t you find that you gravitate to the same area sometimes, perhaps even the same row of seats? And perish the thought if someone else should occupy “your seat” before your arrival. Though cool, it was a delightful Sunday morning in October. One of my favorite joys is greeting peopleContinue reading “BUS DELIVERY OF A NEW FRIEND”
A PICKUP THAT DIDN’T GO WELL
“NOT AT FIRST” Do you ever have days when everything just seems Blah? Your inner voice and motivation are essentially “Zero. Zip. Nada.” You try to talk to yourself to, “Get your act together!” I saw a cute cartoon which describes this day. It read: “If you see me talking to myself, not to worry.

EVENTS AT THE MEDICAL LAB
I gave more than blood! It was an early morning that day, and even the sun hadn’t come up yet. This day’s routine required leaving the house earlier than usual because I had an appointment with the people who draw blood at our local medical laboratory.

My husband and I lived in Canada at the time, but several times a year I would fly back to visitContinue reading “A SKATING ELEPHANT”
