About
I am a sixty year old, middle-class woman living in a Canadian suburb from where I attempt to make sense of life as experienced directly and indirectly via the various media which are available to one living here. Yes, there are many things about which to question, discuss, complain of or celebrate, and in these writings I am attempting to do so. Primarily these writings are intended as a record of my ruminations for my new grand-daughter who has been born into a fast-changing world, one which she may feel needing some comparison with a past as experienced by an older family member.

My life as a suburbanite, what works, what doesn’t, adjustments, complaints, celebrations.

I enjoy all of your posts very much. The imagery is so vivid and imaginative. I am always entertained by your observations and often can see them clearly in my own mind.

Thank you for the comment. Drawing is the worst class because the professor is not a great professor. It is my least favorite. I do enjoy art and drawing despite the not so fun experiences of this drawing course.

I have been regularly reading your blog but I came to this page only once, in the beginning and there was nothing here then. I am glad to see that you have filled it up. Your reasons for writing the blog are very inspiring and totally unselfish. Those who know you in real life are very lucky indeed.

Hi G! I feel it’s necessary to confess this morning that, despite your never having done me any wrong, I have nevertheless chosen to inflict on you the insufferable Sun Mountain Award for outstanding blogging. Details at my blog. I suppose this means I’ll be hearing from your lawyers.
