What Keeps Us Young
I live on a street of small houses mostly built 75 to 100 years ago. Its residents are eclectic: seniors who’ve lived here for ages, young families who’ve purchased their ‘starter homes’, and because we live near a university, transient students in rental homes. There are often curb conversations about how busy the younger folk …
No One Heeded Her Advice
I wrote this six years ago when Margaret Atwood warned us about Trump…little did we know…
Perspective
So, what got me thinking about perspective? While sitting at my computer one day last week, the background TV was on an episode of Life After People on Story Television and they were specifically discussing what would happen to Detroit’s buildings 40 years after a population disappearance. They kept mentioning how the harsh weather extremes …
Do Most Couples Talk?
Finding your soulmate later in life has both challenges and rewards. The challenges include being set in your ways and carrying baggage from previous relationships and life in general. Without sounding too corny the benefits can be summed up in the Streisand/Adams song: “I finally found someoneWho knocks me off my feetI finally found the …
Get Over It, Canada!

Canada’s Election – Final Thoughts
Thank you Donald Trump for making Canada’s election an easy choice. Many Canadians typically vote based one party’s platform over another.

This time, however, the only question is: Which …

I knew from a young age that Maritimers were tellers of tall tales by sitting around the kitchen table in my grandparents’ Lunenburg waterfront home listening to my mother and her siblings tell detailed, interesting stories. I understood some of these were yarns as a result of my father’s occasional debunking remarks. I also caught …
Detroit/Windsor Relationship in Peril? I Think Not!
Windsor is across the Detroit River which forms the most traveled border crossing between Canada and the United States. People who don’t live in the State of Michigan or the Province of Ontario may not understand how close we are. Canadian and Americans cross our border daily for work, shopping, entertainment and visiting friends. Since …

A Canadian’s Viewpoint: Trump has a God Complex
I never saw myself writing about politics. My bailiwick has been women’s rights, human rights, being a stepmom, being a grandparent, taking care of an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s Disease and surviving abuse; basically my personal experiences. Right now, though, I feel the need to write about what’s going on in the world. Trump shows …
