Reflections on Life During COVID
Little did I know that when January 2020 dawned, life would be so different come March. Up until then, COVID had been in the news for months; it had already ravaged Italy and was well on its way to ravaging New York City. I started writing "COVID Chronicles" on Facebook,... Continue reading

My Semi-Charmed Kind of Life
I know my title is the name of a '90's one-or-two-hit-wonder song. But why mess with perfection? July 14, 2019 will mark our five year-anniversary of "moving back home" to Windsor, after 35 years in Toronto. Move-in day at The Cute Little House on July 14, 2014 went smoothly and... Continue reading

Memories of Mary
A lovely lady I have known most of my life left the world yesterday. Her name was Mary and she was 89 years old. I was just a child when I met her for the first time. She, her husband and family moved in to the house next door to... Continue reading

Girls Never Outgrow Their Dad: Part 1
"Girls Never Outgrow Their Dad". How true. My dad has been gone for 18 and a half years...taken from me way too soon. He died after he'd just turned 61...only 1 year old than me...and younger than my husband is today. Over the years, I've often shared some of my... Continue reading

Tracy's Magic Peanut Brittle
There's no doubt about it. My friend Tracy makes magic peanut brittle. Not only does it melt in your mouth. It's the absolute perfect combination of the ingredients of her carefully guarded recipe. I've been the blessed recipient of copious glassine bags and beribboned tins of MPB over the years.... Continue reading

Goodnight My Favourite
He was admitted to the Hospice Residential Home last August. He was a teaser and a joker, he loved food and knew more than a thing or two about cooking. So needless to say, I clicked with him the first time I met him. When you cook dinner for someone... Continue reading

The Final Year of My 50's Starts Today
In some ways, I feel every one of my 59 years. Like when my sciatica decides to flare up, as it did last week. Or when I preface any thought of doing anything with wondering if I'll have enough energy. Or on the rare occasions I find myself on my... Continue reading

And I walk...and I work...
There have been other profound losses in my life since before my Captain died and I have felt them all significantly in the days, weeks and months afterward. But as one of my friends said the other day: this one has hit particularly hard. When your heart is broken, you're... Continue reading

Just Yesterday Morning They Let Me Know He Was Gone
He was a few grades ahead of me in high school, but I knew who he was, who he hung with and that he was on Student Council. He had the most distinctive coarse, wavy brown shoulder length hair, parted down the middle. That hair reminded me of a velvet... Continue reading

Always
Yesterday a friend asked, "What artist have you never seen live that you've always wanted to?" My automatic answer was "Elton John". But then this morning, in my search for a resonating song to post on Facebook (as has been my habit--it's the first thing I do when I get... Continue reading

Nature's Way
Nobody told me that feeding feral cats would be so hard on my heart! My brood has been as large as eight but has often times been reduced to two or three. I love them all, but it's impossible not to have favourites...some are friendly, some are beautiful, some are... Continue reading

Walking Madeleine to School
She was thrilled with the miniature spiral notepad and matching tiny pencil that an SK classmate had given out on Hallowe'en afternoon. During my brief visit with her, she carried it around constantly, even putting it in her pocket to take with her while trick or treating. It's been a... Continue reading
