The View – Feb 29th, 20 years later …
February 29, 2016
Twenty years ago on this day, the 29th of Feb., Dennis finished working for the coal mining company in Calgary and we began planning and preparing in earnest our permanent move to Bequia. Here’s the brass ship’s bell that was given to him that day by his colleagues before he left the office … (Ketchup … More The View – Feb 29th, 20 years later …
The View – Sunday morning inspiration …
February 7, 2016
For an author and busy property manager – an inspired breakfast of reheated focaccia from last night’s get-together with friends along with cappuccino, as the author works out plotting complexities in those pesky, final 3 chapters of her next novel, yet-to-be-published (soon, I hope!), and the property manager deals with calculations in solving the problem … More The View – Sunday morning inspiration …
The View – Cast Off!
January 15, 2016
Cast is off!! Finally, after 6 weeks wearing this fiberglass cast on my broken ankle … although I did have a lovely view all that time, as you can see. So yesterday, we made an appointment with Dr. Dany to have the cast removed. It was the first time I’d left this verandah to walk … More The View – Cast Off!
The View – Old Year’s Night on Bequia!
December 31, 2015
Since we first began visiting the island, we’ve spent almost every New Year’s Eve celebration on Bequia. The first, was when we arrived on Dec. 31, 1988, and had no idea at all what to expect – from the island, the people, or their celebrations. Having just travelled all the way to the Caribbean from … More The View – Old Year’s Night on Bequia!
The View – And here we go again …
December 1, 2015
There’s good reason that I seldom venture forth from my verandah here at The View. Aside from it being a lovely place from which to, well, view the world, and that I have everything I need, including cats, books and coffee … I just don’t like to go out much when I’m on Bequia. But … More The View – And here we go again …
Somewhere Between Another Page and The View – Still bound to Alberta
October 21, 2015
Today’s musical inspiration is a song I hummed on the plane the very first time I flew into Calgary in 1978. And that comforting memory still lingers on, even though Alberta is no longer my home. A piece of my heart does still reside here, though, and always will … And this is why. I … More Somewhere Between Another Page and The View – Still bound to Alberta
Another Page – Saying goodbye to the trailer
September 29, 2015
Whoever would have known, six months ago when I was still on Bequia, searching through real estate listings across southern Ontario, that I would not only buy a trailer, but take possession and move into it on June 1st, and thoroughly enjoy the next four months here? I’m a “seasonal” resident in the park, so … More Another Page – Saying goodbye to the trailer
Somewhere between The View and Another Page – My Top Favourite Movies
September 21, 2015
At the end of August, when I was packing to return to the trailer after having spent a few weeks visiting with the cats, my library, and a continuous internet connection, I decided to bring back a collection of DVDs to watch. We don’t subscribe to cable TV at either place, but at least Bequia … More Somewhere between The View and Another Page – My Top Favourite Movies
Another Page – Sunrise at Otter Lake
September 21, 2015
I dashed out in the early morning cold through dew-laden grass, still dressed in my jammies and slippers, to get these photos for you …
