It’s early Friday morning. The smoke we were under has dissipated and the sky is clear; we’re in for a great day. Makiya doesn’t have school today and it feels a bit like Saturday. Funny how one small change in routine creates such ripples. I’m tired. Bone weary tired. I feel it in my body

Friday’s Fave Five – March 3
Every evening this week when I close the curtains in my west-facing woman cave, I have seen two bright planets. A little research tells me they are Jupiter and Venus. I’m not especially interested in astronomy but, as with many things in the natural world, the appearance of the two brilliant lights so close to
Friday’s Fave Five – February 3
It's February and it feels like we're on the downhill slope toward spring. Here in Moose Jaw, we're just coming out of a polar vortex and look forward to some above-freezing temperatures. I'm sure there are still plenty of cold days ahead of us, but every day we inch closer to spring is a gift.
Friday’s Fave Five- January 6
I’ve struggled to keep track of what day it was this week because of the New Year’s Day holiday which fell on Sunday but that was observed by many businesses on Monday. I can’t explain why, since it didn’t impact anything I did, but it seems any excuse to confuse my days, does. Maybe it
Friday’s Fave Five – December 23
I’m in a liminal space right now, as we settle into our new home in Moose Jaw in the season of Advent. There’s a strange sense of moving forward while still waiting that leaves me feeling discombobulated. It’s the Christmas season, yet with the transition we’ve experienced and are still sorting through—it doesn’t really seem
Friday Favourites
Gerry and I have been Moose Jaw residents for one week today. We’re puttering away at things at home like replacing weather stripping on the door from the laundry room to the garage (Gerry) and organizing the walk-in pantry (me). There are always miscellaneous things to buy for a new house so I’ve been shopping
Friday’s Fave Five- December 2
We’ve come to the end of the final full week before we head out toward our little house on the prairie, and it’s been a full one. Let’s look back with a Friday’s Fave Five post. Floating. I enjoyed a blissful 90 minutes float in a sensory deprivation chamber at my favourite self-care place in Kamloops one
We’re a “Go” For Launch (and Friday’s Fave Five)
It’s been another busy pre-move week filled with emails, inspections, appointments, packing, and paperwork. Conditions came off both sales (for the home we’re leaving and the one we’re going to) this week. There’s always that sense of “it’s not over until it’s over” until that happens, so meeting this milestone is a relief. It’s been
Friday’s Fave Five – November 11
What a week this has been! This morning, I’m taking time to breathe and look back at the blessings with a Friday’s Fave Five Post. An accepted offer. We were on our way home from church on Sunday when our realtor called. “An offer came in this morning,” he said. And this time it was
Friday’s Fave Five- October 28
I can’t believe it’s Friday already. In fact, I didn’t realize it until I came across a FFF post in my reader. Okay then, let’s get going with another Friday’s Fave Five post. Oroweat Keto Tortillas. My daughter-in-love recommended these to me. I picked up a package at Costco this week and made quesadillas. They’re really
Friday’s Fave Five – October 21, 2022
I haven't done a Friday's Fave Five post in a long time. It's been another week of home showings and trying to remain patient while we wait for a buyer for our home. It seems like the week has flown by in a whirlwind of shopping, staying out of the house while prospective buyers tour,
