When daycares closed I dashed to the North Pole ( North Bay Ont.)  to be with my grand-daughter. My imagination being my best asset, we tamed unicorns, daily tea parties and mended princess gowns.  The older boys had daily cooking lessons, I even provided a New Rock fry pan & soft spatula for flipping their endless creations.  When Mom & Dad were sent home, this Nana flew back to her new nest.   Carrying on my yard cleanup and welcoming the songbirds eased me back to the harsh reality.

Even the cursing exactly in the proper places!  Historical stories of " deviant women" You really MUST go to your App Store & download from Apple, Spotify or I don't know where else and listen to non stop entertainment

Over the years, in the many places I have lived, I have found excellent books this way, plus I donate extra for the Library. Where I live now is the fanciest library I have visited ( since I was youngster & this library was just built & grand opening) in decades, the cast away books have their own alcove & bench to quietly choose from the 3! bookshelves.   It was a treasure hunt! I was overwhelmed with the titles. But tucked & cramped down the side of the bookshelves was a colourful, unique size book, pristine dust jacket, caught my eye!  What? author Susan Hill ( The Women in Black)  " Howard's End is on the Landing" ( I loved the movie with Emma Thompson & Ant
