Have you ever paid an entry fee and later wondered if it was worth it? That happened to me this summer. One of the two day-trips my husband and I took in late August, we went to Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens. I’ve wanted to visit it for some time. So, we parked. Looked at the… Continue reading Annapolis Royal Historical Gardens

Lavender and Almonds
Several years ago now, my friend, Cindy and I took a drive on a summer’s day to visit Seafoam Lavender Gardens. It was a lovely drive, and the Gardens are situated in one of those spots where you just want to set down some roots for the summer. I don’t know if you can tell in… Continue reading Lavender and Almonds
Let’s Play
It’s the Saturday before Valentine’s Day, and that had me thinking about Chapter 14 in Don’t Tell My Heart It Can Heal. That’s the chapter where the singles from Hatfield Falls Christian Church and other churches in the area get together for a games night and not a Valentine specific activity. Here’s how the night… Continue reading Let’s Play
A Pair of Pretty Red Shoes (Drabble #5)
More than once, my husband and I have commented on the footwear some female host of a renovation or building shows wear to the construction site as not being the safest footwear. That along with my wish to own a pair of pretty red shoes was my inspiration for this drabble. Of course, there is… Continue reading A Pair of Pretty Red Shoes (Drabble #5)

This summer we took several drives around the province. Here are pictures from some of the places we saw on the way. There are more places and pictures than these from our travels, but I’ll save those for another time.
The Plot Twist (Drabble #4)
For the above drabble, I took a first line writing prompt from a list of ideas I found online, tweaked it a little to suit my use, and then, decided to play with a couple of characters I know I’m going to be writing about soon. I need to start doing more playing with them —… Continue reading The Plot Twist (Drabble #4)
Hunting for Cursed Treasure
Have you ever watched “The Curse of Oak Island”? It is a History Channel reality tv show about a pair of brothers who are searching for the cursed treasure of Oak Island, which happens to be in Nova Scotia. While “The Curse of Oak Island” is a long running show. (I think they just finished season ten?) I learned… Continue reading Hunting for Cursed Treasure
Going up!
Lacey pushed the button with the wheelchair symbol on it and waited until the lady behind her had gone through the door before she entered. The breeze caught her hair and tried to tug it out of its ponytail. A seagull hobbled across the parking lot, stopping now and then to peck at what it… Continue reading Going up!
Pistachio’s Sway (Drabble #3)
Are you a fan of ice cream? I loved it as a kid, unless it was vanilla. As an adult, I developed a sensitivity to dairy, and my husband and sons aren’t big ice cream eaters, so it’s a rare occasion when we have any at our house. However, when my boys were younger, they did enjoy… Continue reading Pistachio’s Sway (Drabble #3)
