Tea Time and the “S” Word
I’m watching the snow level drop on the hills across the valley and the first flakes of white have started falling here. Gerry brought the last of the outdoor furniture inside this morning so we’re ready for it. Well, not quite. Our snow shovels and snowblower are in storage in Moose Jaw. When we moved

I’m pretty sure it was the first time we all got together before you-know-what so it was especially good to gather again. We intentionally arrived in Vernon early—in part

A New Book?
Early this year, I started working on another book. Here’s what I wrote in the draft introduction. There was a saying going around when the COVID-19 pandemic was raging, reminding us that, while we were all weathering in the same storm, we were doing so in different boats. The experiences of people we saw on
