I...Chalk me up as another who enjoyed your post... It was fun to see things I might not ever get to see in real life.<br /><br />I used to write so my grandchildren would have treasures to read the way I did via my grandparents when I was younger. Turns out I don't necessarily have any grandchildren to write for, but just in case, I'm still doing it. My grandparents did not write much, but what they did write gives me insight into their personalities and lives I would not otherwise have had.<br /><br />Sometimes I think I have things to say I think my benefit others, but I can't be held to Twitter or Facebook limitations. :DSnowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-15625923582989989482014-07-02T10:07:42.754-06:002014-07-02T10:07:42.754-06:00Thank you, Noushka!

It's been hot here too; so I'm longing for my trip to Nova Scotia to get here. I can just hear my grandmother MacDonald: "Don't wish your life away, Weesie!" One day in late July or early August, I'm going to be back on that same boat heading out into the Bay of Fundy to see whales. I'll be posting on that for sure!!!!! Have a great day!

Responsibilities keep sidetracking me, so sometimes I feel like my brain will burst. Like today ~ I've got about three hours at the Apple store trying to address my LD in Computers challenge and then fix my computer at the Genius bar. Then I have to race home for an hour long video/conference meeting with my husband and a third party on the East Coast. Not complaining, am I! Lesson learned: I'm blocking out the first Wednesday of every month for the foreseeable future! Have a happy day!
