13 years.  It is hard to get my head around it.  It was made easier thanks to friends, both near and far - we had dinner with our dear neighbours and good friends.  We had dinner together and...

Our weather in Calgary is very unpredictable.  We had a blizzard a couple of weeks ago.  It is now warm and the snow is almost melted.  I am feeling thick headed and a bit dizzy - a sure sign that...

Life here has been business as usual.  Joe and I planted our little garden and bought some flowers for the balcony.  We live in a condo and I volunteered to plant annuals at the front.  It looks...

Whenever will it stop?  I got a call this morning from our son.  He was in tears.  Someone torched the comic book store that he manages.  I don't know how much damage there was but he put his...

I arrived home on February 4.  It took me awhile to adjust.  I felt like a bit of a ditz when I had to go looking for kitchen utensils etc. I was only gone for 3 months!I am settled in again and am...
