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
The Get It Done Club
Don’t Tell Anyone I Read Romance has a lot of scenes set at the Hatfield Falls Library. Here’s an excerpt from one of those scenes from chapter 1 and an image (above) that I created to go with it. …“Can I help with any of your work?” Josh offered. He was a good kid in… Continue reading The Get It Done Club

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)
In Aisle Three
Trish turned from the gift card rack and moved towards the houseware aisle. “It was good to see you.” His brow furrowed. “That’s it. No further conversation?” That was the idea. She had realized from nearly their first meeting that it was far too pleasant to be standing close to Henry and talking, and the… Continue reading In Aisle Three
Hello, Summer! Farewell, Spring.
As summer begins here in the northern hemisphere, I thought I’d share a few late spring photos of nature that I found while walking. The top and bottom left images were taken at Acadia Gardens, which is, as you might know, one of my favourite local places to take a short stroll. Everything was green… Continue reading Hello, Summer! Farewell, Spring.
