I’ve lived in Michigan almost all my life, except for a short time in Oxford, Massachusetts, and another in Denver, Colorado, but this morning as I look out over our icy bay, I’m BOSTON PROUD. Happy Patriots’ Day, and many blessings to all of those folks participating in the Boston Marathon as runners, volunteers, organizers…

Small Joys–Hallowe’en!
Bysuehar
Few Trick-or-Treat visitors ever make it to our remote place in the woods, but this year, when Covid will make it difficult for any Hallowe’en visitors to make the rounds, I decided to celebrate by sending these cute pillowcases to our granddaughters. Will any ghosts or goblins be visiting your house this year?
Dirt & Bones: Climate Change
Bysuehar
For some folks the words CLIMATE CHANGE are a rousing call to arms. That’s not my intent in this post. I’m not interested in the pros or cons of current political clashes concerning the causes and effects of mankind’s contribution to the warming — or the cooling — of the earth. (I was a college…
Your Pet! Gary
Bysuehar
Gary! and his loving Mom Gary’s owner, Cheryl, tells us that this cute little guy was born on her father’s birthday, so is named after her dad. I’m wondering if that’s a singular honor. Gary may well be the only donkey in the world named after its owner’s father. LOL, Cheryl! Welcome, Gary, you’re our…
That looks crisp, serene, beautiful but mostly : VERY cold… what temperatures are you experiencing at the moment Sue?
We’ve had a couple of warmer days, Jackie, with temperatures near zero degrees C. but last week and next week we were/will be cold again with high temperatures for the day at -12 C. and nights at -23 C. Brrrrrr!!!!!
o wow! that is very cold.
I send you love today Sue, I know you are sad.
I want to tell you something.
When I first had contact with you I was always nervous to write back because of my grammar and spelling mistakes so I kept my questions/answers as short as I could or I would find a way to use different words but meaning the same thing. It was frustrating.
At one stage I thought: I really should feel more confident about it all since I now live in an English speaking country and don’t have plans to move back to Holland.
So I read more in English, books newspapers etc. , I started to write more and more on social media etc. and am not afraid anymore to make little mistakes.
Sue… you were the catalyst for me to feel more confident in my day to day English problems and I am grateful and thankful.
You have no idea what a freedom it has given me! so much so that I now work side by side with my husband, we have set up a Web and Graphic design studio ! I have to write, read and chat in English ALL the time. I would not be able to that a few years ago. 🙂
Blessings,
Jackie
Oh Jackie, what a beautiful and uplifting thing to share with me. Thank you so much. You are a very special friend, and I think we have a good link, heart to heart, that extends across oceans and languages. I’m so proud of all you do.
Thank you so very much Sue. I’m glad I could lift your spirits for a brief moment.
