Steady as She Goes

The latest Covid-19 development in my home province is a travel ban. I get why our government is doing it; I’m still furious it’s come to this. For the last year, the one way Hubs and I managed to muddle through not being able to hang out with friends and family was to escape in …

Of Timidity and Daring

My reluctance to reach out centered on my and my husband’s frequent travel schedule, and my unwillingness to inconvenience the facility owner.

Word Wednesday: Moirai

Birth origin aside, the three sisters, Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (alloter), and Atropos (unturnable–a metaphor for death), decided, in short, who lived, what direction each person’s life took, and for how long.

Paralysis and Gratitude

I’ve been working from the cosy bright nook of my kitchen since August, when my youngest son’s friend moved in with us for a few months to complete a co-op work-term required as part of his University degree. The location change plants me directly in the hub of household activity. It’s not ideal. And I’m …

March is Calving Season

March break was second only to summer break when I was a kid, and only because it was a good six-weeks shorter in duration. And a whole lot colder. Especially on the Ranch. March didn’t just signal a break from school for me; it heralded a trip to BC’s interior to visit my aunt and …

I Want, I Will

My daughter and son-in-law are moving over 700 kms this coming weekend to start new jobs in a city much closer to family and friends.

Angel Riding Shotgun

I make frequent trips to the Kootenays. When I lived in the Kootenays, I routinely traveled to the lower mainland. In the twenty-two years I’ve zipped between the two regions, I’ve never had car trouble. Until yesterday. I took the long way home yesterday via Hwy 6 to Hwy 1, because I had to meet …
