There are times when I see a blog post like this as completely predictable yet as we head up to the annual homage to Mothers, I decided to be predictable…and perhaps not so much, just like me! This is a big subject. I will get to some of the more unpredictable observations in a bit […]

So my last blog caused a few hissy fits from people who were either confused or offended by my position on protests for a $15/hr.  minimum wage. For those who were surprised at my defending my beliefs, why were you so surprised? I have said it and written it over and over and over again […]

I fondly remember when I was growing up, my favourite season was Spring! I love Summer too, but who doesn’t, especially in Canada! My particular reason is a tad unusual but not unique.

I am writing […]

So this is my first blog in a while. I haven’t been lazy but a bit disenchanted. If you follow my writing you know that it isn’t my speech style to bitch and complain so I thought a blog might allow me an outlet for the daily frustrations we all experience and that I feel […]

Greetings from Paradise! I say this not to brag, honest. Our Paradise is also known as Crystal Lake, and of course, it isn’t just ours. Hundreds of people spend their vacations or just weekends here along side us and in the bigger picture, we all have our personal opinion on what constitutes a “Paradise”. Sadly, […]
