Friday Favourites

Posted on December 16, 2022December 16, 2022 by Linda Hoye

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).

It’s Go Time

Posted on December 5, 2022 by Linda Hoye

It’s 5:30 am. I’m sitting up in bed, surrounded by Yorkies, enjoying a cup of Tazo Chai in a used Starbucks cup. Creativity is the name of the game when everything is packed and boxes are sealed. Gerry’s beside me catching up on the morning news on his iPad. Very soon, we’ll get moving but…

About Me

I’m a wife, mom, grandma, adoptee, Yorkie mom, writer, reader, photographer, gardener, and (after a 50-year absence) a grateful Saskatchewan resident. I work at looking past what’s ordinary to see that which is anything but. I believe joy sparkers abound when we remain open to seeing them!
