I’m thinking about Nicole today, a young woman who is turning 22 years old. I have known her since she was 6 years old, full of energy and spark. I can still picture her running up and down the hills during her sister’s soccer practise, then later around the racetrack with no sign of getting … Continue reading It’s Nicole’s Day

A visit to cherish
My sister and two nephews left a few days ago after a 3 week visit. The house still feels empty and quiet. I think it misses them too. As I said to my sister on the last night, during our wonderful meal out alone together, I always dread the day when visitors go home. There … Continue reading A visit to cherish
Introducing a fabulous woman
Actually, many of you already know this fabulous woman. She’s my mom. But, maybe there are a few things you don’t know about her! Words that come to my mind when I think of my mom are loving, calm, private, funny and loyal. Good childhood memories of my mom are endless. A few of the … Continue reading Introducing a fabulous woman
We’re still here
It’s been awhile since I have posted an update. That thing called life sometimes gets in the way of sitting down and writing, but since Hubby and son are watching Star Wars, I took the golden opportunity to come upstairs and do just that. Nothing against Star Wars. Actually, that’s not true – I can … Continue reading We’re still here
Here’s to Tina!
When I first met Tina, she was 10 years old and full of energy. Everything she did was intense from riding her bike to playing her Game Boy. And boy, that girl could talk! Tina was not into “girl” things – The Spice Girls were certainly not her top pick. She had a preference for … Continue reading Here’s to Tina!
Memories are truly Golden
A number of years ago I had given a book to my Grandmother called “Grandma Tell Me Your Memories…” where each page would ask a question with space for her to write a response. When she moved into the nursing home, she went through her belongings and gave back a number of her processions, as … Continue reading Memories are truly Golden
The Early bird catches the worm
My dad, known as “Early” to a number of us, is certainly one of a kind. He is famous for one-liners, most of which I have heard all my life. For instance, if you call him on the phone and ask “What’s up?” He’ll reply with “Everything that ain’t down!” Or, on your birthday he’ll … Continue reading The Early bird catches the worm
My little Monkey
It’s hard to believe that seven years have gone by since I became a Mom. My baby has become a little boy right in front of me. And it’s been fun witnessing his growth with all the milestones; walking, riding a bike, blowing a bubble, whistling, starting school, printing his name, and most recently reading. … Continue reading My little Monkey
What happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris
I am fortunate to still be good friends with a girl I met in Kindergarten, and a girl I met while very lost on the first day of high school. This year, us good friends are all turning 30 40, and one of the husbands decided that we should celebrate this fact in Paris. Unfortunately, … Continue reading What happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris
Celebrating my sister
I am fortunate to have grown up with a sister. We are five years apart in age, so her role often mirrored a “motherly” one, except the time when she convinced me to buy her used make-up and chocolates (that were a gift). I’m still annoyed by that. Growing up with an older sister made … Continue reading Celebrating my sister
