So where to begin? I loved it. I love to travel. We took our trusty ferry across to Vancouver and made way to our airport hotel. The idea was to rest up the night before our flight. The hotel and sleep were divine. Now, interestingly, what have we found regarding children and travel? I wouldContinue reading “Arrival.”

Countdown.
We have finally arrived–or are rather close to it: departure. It is an amazing feeling to say that. How to express it? Maybe like when you play Monopoly and you know that on your next turn if you roll exactly the right number you get to buy that elusive property that will win you theContinue reading “Countdown.”
Itinerary.
We live, we work, we play. At least that is what it feels like some days. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The trick, we often hear, is to do something that you love. Well, I’m still figuring that part out. One thing I know I love is travel. These days working and reworking theContinue reading “Itinerary.”
Morning.
I have recently been reading into Virginia Woolf’s A Writer’s Diary. She too wrote not daily but periodically. There is a pointed simplicity to her writing. I recall her description of a summer afternoon. Imagine a room full of dinner guests, she writes. One turns to look over their shoulder and remarks, ‘what a fineContinue reading “Morning.”
Summer.
It is interesting these days when you hear ‘the last days of summer’. It is ending isn’t it? All those warm nights, the sounds of chirping crickets. It is all coming to an end. Especially the stars. Oh those summer nights. Getting rid of a few more volumes the other day I happened to glanceContinue reading “Summer.”
Blonde.
Let us see how short this post can be. In an effort to write–and to simply keep on writing–I am posting today. It is the midst of the work week for me. There are many goings-on. Many things to attend to. However, we have recently celebrated a birthday in our household. We have recently beenContinue reading “Blonde.”
Done.
A few items to note. The first is that we visited the Vancouver Island Exhibition yesterday. 125 years strong, this year promised to be fantastic. But, for us, it wasn’t. This may be a fact for several reasons . . . We first visited two years ago. It must have been a Saturday night. Busy,Continue reading “Done.”
Remarketeering.
Parksville’s Summer by the Sea Market. It happened today. This market has in fact been going on week to week. Tuesday nights. The tiny, cozy drive is closed to vehicle traffic. Pedestrians abound. One end of the drive hugs highway 19A. The Straight of Georgia and sandy stretch of Parksville beach lit up by sunsetContinue reading “Remarketeering.”
Just have to.
Have been busy these days. But that won’t do, will it? The work week is something else. It pulls in this direction and that. Not to mention traffic–the commute. I have been enjoying languages in the car lately. Let me explain. German, Italian, French. In the time that it takes to get to the workplaceContinue reading “Just have to.”
Warmer evenings.
It is August at last. This is a wonderful month. A favourite. I wonder why . . . Something about hot, fine weather. Sunsets glow just a little different. And if you didn’t know it was summer before, by the time it’s August there is no doubt. Something that we’ve been enjoying has been theContinue reading “Warmer evenings.”
