Have you ever had a Timbit? It’s a little round donut – what I’d call a donut hole. They are sold by Tim Hortons, a very popular donut shop chain here in Nova Scotia. There are at least three shops that I can drive to from my house in five minutes or less. They are… Continue reading Yum, Timbits

The Hatfield Fall Christian Church Layout
We’ve been to church a few times in this series already, and I expect we’ll be going back many times. That’s why I thought it would be good to do a quick sketch of how I picture the church in Hatfield Falls to be laid out. BTW, do you say foy-yay or foy-yer for “foyer”?… Continue reading The Hatfield Fall Christian Church Layout
The Hatfield Falls Library Layout
Edmund Bennet wrapped his hand firmly around the door handle, then, drawing in a deep breath and holding it to tamp down the touch of anxiety fluttering along his nerves, he slowly and silently pulled open the door that separated the back rooms of the library from the public areas. He had always been good… Continue reading The Hatfield Falls Library Layout

Annapolis Royal Historical Gardens
Have you ever paid an entry fee and later wondered if it was worth it? That happened to me this summer.

Looked at the… Continue reading Annapolis Royal Historical 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)

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)
