I got my first grey hair when I was 25. On Christmas day, no less. I woke up in the morning, looked in the mirror, and thought 'what is in my hair?' So I pulled on it. Ouch! The damn thing was attached! I plucked it out, of course. That one white hair turned out … Continue reading Hair, circa Covid-19

My name is Elise and my husband Randy and I bought a 1982 Westfalia and named her SweetEsther .... that one wonderfully impulsive decision has changed everything!
Today My Husband Cooked Dinner For Me
I have not been writing since this covid-19 thing started. Not much, anyway. And clearly not blog posts, according to my sad posting history of recent weeks. But I do complain occasionally that I'm not writing enough because I don't have any focus or drive. It's ugly sometimes, isn't it? So my husband declared that … Continue reading Today My Husband Cooked Dinner For Me
Bookworm
I'd forgotten how delicious it is to get lost in a good book. I didn't remember, until just now, that the world around you disappears, all the sounds, smells, sensations, the movements of people.

Wedding Bells in the Age of Social Distancing
A young couple got married yesterday in Abbotsford, BC.

I mean, who wants … Continue reading Wedding Bells in the Age of Social Distancing

When we got there, Hubby was eager to see if … Continue reading Not a Square to Spare!
Of Marmots and Groundhogs
I am missing stuff today. Things, people, places, activities. So my mind is rambling allover the place, or maybe I'm missing stuff because my mind is rambling. Probably. This is the first time in 88 years that my mother did not wake up on Groundhog Day with an opinion on whether spring was imminent or not. … Continue reading Of Marmots and Groundhogs
What January Brings
-44 C, I'm told. The coldest I've seen was at 8:30 this morning, -42C, so it was almost certainly colder than that overnight. For those of you who do temperature in Farenheit, -40 is precisely the same on either scale. Freakin' cold! Both vehicles are dead (or at least in a deep deep hibernation state), … Continue reading What January Brings
