Creative Rescue




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.
Now, let's see what NEW things I can explore!

Podcasts!    Like listening to the radio before TV!  Hahahahah


I found two that held me in place.
DEVIANT WOMEN..........two fun, hilarious Australian gals who have me hanging on every word!
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

    I've been preoccupied with crocheting granny squares and knitting doll clothes with all my leftover wool. It's like I cannot seem to drag myself away from it to do anything else until every last piece of scrap has been used! My backside is getting numb. 😂

    I've been thinking of starting podcasts too, but haven't motivated myself to get any farther than thinking about it yet!

    Read The Secret History of Witches, then reread Bellman & Black. Now I have only Zelda left (thanks to your recommendation!) and then my library books have run out.

    Oh, those roads look so desolate. Glad you are safe back home. 💜

      I went into a colouring haze for about a week! Hahahaha! after I got back from NB. Everyone changes so fast when your not looking, Gracie is only 2 ft shorter than me and I need to knit larger Nana socks! I brought my wooden rocking chair back with me, I felt like granny clampet! driving down the rode with her rocker!
      Two podcasts I mentioned, having me smiling and enjoying listening !
      I have been on a book reading gold mine lately, so jot them down!
      I must look for Bellman & Black! Thank you 👌💋🇨🇦
      My muffler fell off Again, those roads up north are hideous, so I'm really! Grounded ! really, really!

    I am so glad that you are home mom. The cozy nest wasn’t the same without you. Your woodland creatures were knocking on the patio door looking for their breakfast companion. Xo❤️

      I'm happy to be home as well , would it not be FUN if we all lived in a huge house , 100 acres in the woods ! I would have my own hobbit house were all the kids could hide out from the Grown Ups!

What TIME is it? March madness? Time!

The March hare & I do take on  the same look this time of year. Moody March, indeed. My new way of life as  solo crone is of need of some spicing up. Watching  snow melt isn't quite what I have in mind. I roamed downtown to our library, and I always check the cast away books. 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

Literary Bad Patch, but back on Track!

My reading choices took a nasty turn for awhile after I found the book in the library by Susan Hill. ( previous blog post) " Howard's End is on the Landing" I tried to change my choice of reading, broaden my limited horizons, more high brow less Magic. Well I failed miserably.  Book after book, I struggled, even the HOT new one, I wondered "What The Hell is this?" Classic to Pulitzer contender, I shut down, ( Names withheld, as my reaction is one of a kind). Sulking didn't help so I just shock it off and piled the alien books to one side.  Now, where is my historical, magical, dark or all three !!!!! In one! First glance, and beaming intuition this one would save my humiliation Debut novel, Historical, Magical, Intrigue, and just dark enough!  I rejoiced! The very first chapter grabbed me and I couldn't stop! Page turner, suspense, historical, magic, strong female characters, brilliant writing!  I await her next novel out very soon!  ( no sp

It is a NEW everything for me!  Back in my hometown , imagining what is possible. Last time I asked myself that was 50 years ago.  Now I have maturity & wisdom on my side! Hahahaha! They will arrive, eventually! I went out BOOK shopping with my sister after the children were back in their confinement, I knew the roads & shop would be calm, suitable for my outing.  Cleverly armed with a list, march straight to computer to see how many I would carry home.  One! after careful planning, reading reviews, asking myself " do you REALLY" want to read that? One book was to ticked OFF!  So cruising the shelves with my sister ( who has a book club) she took photos for consideration, I was wondering what the hell is taking my favorite authors so dam long!  Also I prefer soft covers now as I know how heavy they all are to carry down stairs & load in small car. Why was my sister pointing to Self Help section? Last post, I declared I would read the author flap to get
