Shiny Poofy Pants My birthday wasn't that long ago and as a gift I received a lavender and silver, belly dance, performance costume. I'd had my eye on it in a local shop, but was being careful about laying out that much money. Jae was with me at the time and returned to the shop, unbeknownst to me and bought it. Needless to ...

Mom Stories - Buying Houses I come from a working class family. Anything we have, we worked for, so I was just about to enter high school when my parents bought their first house. It wasn't much, an older "war time" house, three small bedrooms, a bath, eat in kitchen and a living room. You had to go outdoors to access the ba... More..

City Boy Solutions Several years back, my husband and I moved to a place he calls Halfway-to-the-Back-of-Beyond. It's four and a half acres, thirty-five minutes from the City, twenty minutes from Town, ten minutes from the Village and just barely within shouting distance of the nearest neighbour. Since we moved in we've done... More..

The Zucchini Fairy It's been an odd summer; spring came early, bright with promises of early planting and bountiful harvests.

Exercise - The Walking Bus Mom's older sister Kay lived in Florida where my folks visited every year of about six, until they finally bought a house of their own. The stipulation was, the house had to be within walking distance of Kay's house. In a family who walk as much as ours does, that gave them a large area to work with... More..

Not Paul I worked with a guy named Paul back in the early seventies. He was, bar none, the most gorgeous young man I had laid eyes on to that point in my life. I was the eldest daughter of a man with no sons and a small but busy cartage and excavating business. To Da's credit, he had me working for him, as a heavy equipment ... More..

Things I'll Go To Hell For - or Spending Time in a Biker Bar I was in the Bashful Bandit, a biker bar on Speedway in Tucson Arizona. This was a way back, before the Red & Whites took it over and made it a place I'd rather not be. I was waiting for a friend, drinking coffee and playing a little eight-ball; Nick had promise...
