So it is appropriate that I, an internationally published author, write a few words in honour of my current husband’s 80th birthday. I have to be careful that it doesn’t sound like a eulogy – mmm- that would have to be only nice comments.

I Think I Have Gotten Older – Is It Possible?
I have always been 16 years old…in my head. So no matter what my body was doing, I was 16. And I would often laugh when I told friends and business associates that despite what they had heard or read about me, I was still only 16.
Off to Camp! Free at last, free at last…
Today, the children of my children are off to Camp Timberlane. Max is the oldest at 16 – this year he will be a CIT and he is so excited.
In memory of my friend Ruthie…
My friend Ruthie died this week. She was a mother, a grandmother, a loyal friend, a professional bridge player and one of the kindest people I have known.
Father’s Day – In Praise of Older Men

Being a Grandmother – the best of all worlds
I am finally in the mood to write a blog – a blog different from all those I’ve done so far – The Third Hole (my third novel) is now in the hands of the publisher – it will be launched in April – I have told you all about it – so what should I write about now?

The Company of Women – Simply the best! Part 2
The girls and I are dining at Centro and as we started on our second bottle of wine, our conversation moved to new topics and entered a question and answer mode. Men, Books, Sex and the Vanier Centre for Women – not necessarily in that order.
The Company of Women – Simply the best! A three part story of friendship and fun
Blogs are often personal stories as this one shall be. But now I am having second thoughts about how much I should really share with you and how much I should edit in order not to shock, or offend those of you who will be reading it … especially now that so many of you do.
A Remembrance of Things Past
This blog is not a personal story – it is about a friend who was facing some health issues and she asked me to help her put her thoughts to paper. We were both very pleased with the results– now that she is gone, I am posting it for all of you to enjoy, as she enjoyed sharing it with me.
