The Secrets Widows Keep
PLEASE SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE FOR ACCESS TO THE LINK allaboutelva@gmail.com Canada Post delivered a parcel from Amazon.ca yesterday. I have no idea why I held my breath as I opened it I had intimate knowledge of what was contained within the envelope. My hands shook as I pulled the contents out of the package […]
AWOL
I have been unintentionally AWOL for a month and this has left me feeling at a loss for words today. This is not to say I have nothing to say – I’m just finding the wherewithal to say it lacking. I’m rusty. I’ve been getting my place ready for a renovation that has been in the works […]
And then…
Fergus came to stay with Penny and I last week while his people were on vacation. She and I had big plans to show him a good time – we were going to keep him too busy to miss anyone. (Fergus has become Penny’s best friend – she was excited to have him for a sleepover). We had […]
M I A
My neighbors upstairs have been away this past week – they left me in charge of their charges while they were gone. We’ve gotten along swimmingly, these charges and I (for the most part). Well… maybe not exactly swimmingly, the actual swimmer in the house has been missing in action for a few days. Steve, the swimmer, […]
One of those days…
Instead of blogging this morning I took my car to one of those quick/cheap oil changing places. How’d that go? Let’s just say there’s a reason the car has to ask more than once before it gets new oil. Good morning. I’d like to get my oil changed. (Waiting while oil changer person pulls up the history […]

I was doing a little googling the other morning while drinking coffee and contemplating the tasks I would try to avoid doing that day when I discovered some interesting facts about Penny. Aside from her face Penny has more in […]
3’s A Breeze – The Evidence is Mounting
Upstairs I’m starting to believe that my mother-in-law is a dog-snatcher. Let’s review the evidence. Some of you may remember one of our first blogs about “Snow” the pitbull, who my mother-in-law had “saved” from wandering in traffic just outside our home. Some key elements to consider; she was on her way to Costco when […]
3’s a Breeze – Roommates
Downstairs Nobody asked Steve if he wanted a roommate they just dropped George in and expected things to go swimmingly. Nobody considered guys like Steve generally keep to themselves. Steve has always been a solitary man – or at least he was until George showed up – Siamese fighting fish aren’t famous for their hospitality. Steve has […]
Boom!
Here’s a kicker – the baby-boomers are now the Old Age Pensioners (WTF!). I for one was gobsmacked when this particular penny dropped. I’ve been receiving money from the government for a few years and it’s only just occurred to me that I qualified for the windfall because I was old – because until the other morning […]
The Graduate
The class of 2021 is poised to pounce on the world. The school year is over, lockers have been emptied and grade twelve students are closing the door on their high school experience – it’s an ending and a new dawn for the lot of them. It’s exciting and terrifying and I feel all of that with […]
