Wow March is Here Already

Posted on March 1, 2015October 25, 2016 by

February has been a month of cold and snow and wind and all things wintery. Of course that’s what winter is for right? It seems as though a lot of people are getting tired of winter already. Well good NEWS! Only 20 days till the first day of spring. Naturally winter is no respecter of…

I stumbled across this singing group by accident and fell in love with their sound instantly. If you happen to like a cappella singing and close harmonies you will love them too. Get Your Very Own Home Free CD

Blizzard of the Century

Posted on February 8, 2015October 25, 2016 by

Since we’ve had a lot of snow this year in parts of Canada and the US, snow is uppermost on a lot of people’s minds. I thought I would write about the worst blizzard I can remember in my lifetime. This happened while we were living on the same farm near Gladstone, Manitoba that I wrote about…

Making Mom Laugh Part 2

Posted on January 24, 2015October 25, 2016 by

As promised here is an account of the second time I made my mother laugh that stands out in memory. I’m sure there were many other times but she usually laughed with me rather than at me. When I was about eight or nine we lived on a farm in Manitoba about 5 miles south…

Have You Ever Made Your Mother Laugh?

Posted on January 15, 2015October 25, 2016 by

Most kids do a pretty good job of making their mother cry at some point in their childhood. Lots of kids make their mothers cry on an almost daily basis. I know my siblings and I occasionally caused our mother tears. Nothing to be proud of, that’s for sure. My mother has been gone now…

So You Think It’s Cold?

Posted on January 8, 2015October 25, 2016 by

I get a real kick out of all the people complaining about the cold weather lately. To hear some of them go on about it, you would think they had never experienced freezing temperatures before in their life. I can sort of understand the people in Florida whining when it drops into the 50’s but…

I’ve Got A Better Memory Than I Thought I Had

Posted on December 23, 2014October 25, 2016 by

I finally remembered what I got for Christmas the year my sister got the big dollhouse. It wasn’t quite as big as the doll house but to me infinitely better. It was a real action replica of a service station complete with gas pumps, a hoist, wash rack, parts counter and lube bay. It had…

Happy Season, Sad Season

Posted on December 22, 2014October 25, 2016 by

As Christmas draws ever closer I can’t help looking back over all the Christmases in my past that meant the most to me. Of course when we are very young it seems to be mostly about the tree, Santa Claus, and gifts. As we get older we realize it was a lot more than that….

Christmas is Fun If You Don’t Get Caught

Posted on December 18, 2014October 25, 2016 by

Since we’re getting so close to Christmas now (only a week a way) I’ve decided to continue with a few Christmas stories from my own past to add to the year Santa did a “No-Show”. In our house growing up, we had some pretty strict rules regarding Christmas morning. We never opened gifts on Christmas…

My Nova Scotia Girl

Posted on December 17, 2014October 25, 2016 by

Back in September of 2013 I did something I had never done before in my life. I wrote, composed, sang and recorded a video of a song for a 41st Anniversary present for my wife Marilyn. It went over pretty good at the time. Didn’t think it was going to make her cry but what…

Reasons for Writing

Posted on December 15, 2014October 25, 2016 by

Recently I was asked why I love to read and write so much. I guess the first person to blame would be my mother. She read to me from the moment I could sit still for more than five minutes and listen. It wasn’t long before my demands for “Just one more story….Pleasssse” were the…
