Where will the party head next? For most of my life I have voted for a Progressive Conservative candidate both federally and provincially. I will admit that from time to time I have also supported both Liberal and New Democrat local candidates who I believed would best represent the issues […]

Do you sometimes try to look back at a run of bad days and try to identify what helped send those days packing, what rescued you from the doldrums? I like to think if I could retrace my steps, I might be able to call on that memory to rescue […]
With the snow up to my ying yang and above zero temperature only a dim memory, cabin fever is pandemic… forget about Covid. I spent a week in front of the Tube O.D.ing on curling but then I turned on the news and the Convoy protestors sent be directly into […]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I seem to have the “winter blues!” Maybe I’m just worrying about too many things and it’s starting to get to me, or maybe I am just looking forward to sunshine! The sunrise was absolutely stunning this am, but it has […]

I almost was caught up Saturday as a local convoy of trucks, cars and SUV’s motored down King’s Highway from the west slowing up traffic. Carrying Canadian flags and announcing they were organized to create freedom for Canadians from the rules imposed on them by the federal, provincial, and municipal […]
Well, I made the mistake of figuring out how many bales I fed in January. Then I had a hot flash. I hope that it was just because of the cold weather otherwise, even with the stuff I bought, I am going to be a little to close for comfort. […]
It’s just amazing what a surgeon can do. My old carcass was in need of some repair, so decided to invest some time and money in getting it overhauled. What? You say that’s like putting a new set of tires on a rusty old car before you take it to […]
