The Summer Place Bit
So who’s heading out for a summer getaway?! Maybe some folks took off last year without missing a beat for their customary cottage, cabin or camping spot as protocol allowed. But others may only now be taking the pin out of their 2020 summertime plans. I’ve stayed pretty close to home so far – but […]
The Adventures in Transport Chairing Bit
I can never pass up the opportunity for a good view – and in my travels, I’ve been known to go to pretty great lengths to capture one! If my 89-year-old mum is journeying with me (as regular readers know Mummy often is), she’s always game to go along for an extra ride – quite […]

THE GREAT ASHLAND MIGRATION BIT
So a flock of geese has migrated in to claim the pond right outside Mum’s home. They make entertaining neighbors – but when they come honking by and wake me up too early, I get some really cranky and uncharitable thoughts. On the upside, these avian invaders also bring to mind very happy memories of […]
