Tales from the Bush in Quebec

Bubbles courtesy of Photobucket I’m taking a day off from the present world; I have stepped into my sparkling, bouncing bubble of fun. I will NOT read the news, and instead of listening to the radio, there is a CD of swinging salsa music rocking my house. I will NOT speak to any... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo courtesy of Photobucket ‘No food in the past 12 hours and no alcohol for 24 hours?’ The lady behind the counter was stamping my papers as she asked the question. ‘What?’ I exclaimed. ‘The doctor’s paper said nothing but water for 12 hours! Whaddya mean 24 hours?’ The stamping halted. She gazed... Sign in to see full entry.

The closer we get to Spring, the louder are cries of ‘Not again!! We are fed up!’ I have decided to keep my delight under wraps; a bid for self-protection. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo courtesy of Photobucket Oh my, what a game between Boston and the HABS last night! It was a ‘sit-in-the-edge-of-your-seat’ action, and would have been perfect if not for the bad hit on one of the HABS players. The kid is only 22, and is concussed, lying in the hospital.

Yesterday morning I had an appointment at 9:30 to pick up documents in my area. The phone rang just as I was leaving the house, and I was surprised that it was a client.

Photo courtesy of Photobucket It was ‘lie-low’ weather yesterday in the bush. When my son called to ask me how the roads were up here, I suggested that he celebrate Yoshio’s birthday in the city instead, and he readily agreed. His job has him driving all week, in all kinds of temperatures. Why... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo courtesy of Photobucket I had a Panic attack last night, and it was a dilly! Out of the blue. For no darned reason at all. Those bothersome events started about 3 years ago.

The minute he saw me turn on the tap, Mr. Grump lost any hope that his repeated efforts would change my mind. He did a doggie ‘HUFFMP!’, turned his back and... Sign in to see full entry.

The beautiful Louka. I was standing at the kitchen sink, finishing up the dishes, when I heard scuffling on the gallery…. and was that a faint cry of ‘ Help ’? It must have been telepathy. When I turned around, there was Grump-puppy, his face mashed up against the French door, staring at me through... Sign in to see full entry.

My summer rainbow, a view from my window last year. I woke up smiling, in a ‘powerful good mood’, as my sister used to say. There is no particular reason that I can think of. Maybe I had sweet dreams; I can’t recall any of them. Instead of stumbling out of bed immediately as I usually do, I lay... Sign in to see full entry.
