My Love Affair with Disney
I am a true Disney fan and I’m afraid I have passed that adoration to my children and my grandchildren. I know, to the moment, when it was born – It was 1963. I was eight years old. I was sitting in my grade 4 classroom, a bit shy and backward as I had just…
Grief
I am certainly not an expert even though I have lived swimming in its existence for the last eighteen months. I have watched my children and my grandchildren and my dear friends try to wade their way through it too, but I certainly can’t define it or give advice about it. Without even thinking about…
Heartbreak
Eighteen months have passed since I started this post on my blog….but for some reason was unable to publish it. I won’t change the words I had written then, but will publish as is and write another blog about the journey of grief since then. It’s time to start writing again. Its cathartic for me…
It’s not Pie!!
I was blessed with great parents who had me later in life. They could have been my grandparents – I was only a few years older when my first grandchild was born than my Mom was when I was born. There may be some drawbacks to older parents – I don’t remember them. Looking back…

Questions Did you feel safe?
I started this blog for multiple reasons. I wanted to keep a journal of our travels. After 65 days I knew that the places we had visited would run together and we would forget some parts of the adventure that I wanted to remember. Our kids, brothers and families, and close friends had asked us…
Two weeks home
Two weeks today we caught an early morning train from Brussels to Paris to connect to our 2:30 WestJet flight back to Calgary and then Regina. It seemed like a hectic day but looking back was really quiet seamless….it is about an hour and forty-five minute train ride, and the train goes right into Terminal…
Like horses heading for the barn! And Beautiful Brussels, Belgium
We try so hard to be present and never wish away precious time but I know myself. It happens in Yuma every year. When home time approaches – thoughts take me home. I miss family. I go through the motions and schedules of where I am, but my goals change and the momentum builds to…
Amsterdam but?
I have to admit, we didn’t do a good job of getting to know Amsterdam. Between wanting to get out in the country and see the tulip fields, and falling in love with the villages around Amsterdam and the weather being biting cold and windy – we really didn’t do it a solid. What we…
