Ten years ago my friend, Chrissy, and I paddled Peche Island, smack dab in the middle of the St. Clair River between Windsor and Detroit. We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful day….yes it was very HOT! but we had a nice wind coming off Lake St. Clair....

Yesterday was B.E.A.Utiful! Paddling on the water is my zen, just in case you couldn’t guess. As I’m floating along, enjoying the scenery and meditative motion of my paddle, thoughts tend to drift. On Wednesday four 14-year-old kids decided to go kayaking...

Have you watched the Series Alone? Ten hard core people are dropped off in crazy rough territory to survive, alone, with only ten items while filming themselves. The goal in the first five seasons was basically to survive as long as you could but I think it was...

Tulip Crochet Hooks! These are, in my opinion, the BEST crochet hooks on the market. Drool worthy to say the least. I’ve wanted a set for quite some time but they aren’t cheap. I finally had the money to order them but there was a problem with shipping so...

While scrolling through Fakebook the other day I found an article about Canada getting ready to ban single use plastics by 2021. YAY! Well, that was my first thought but then it dawned on me, “How will this affect our forests?” The list isn’t yet...

I’d like to thank @thekittygirl for nominating me for the #myfirstkiss rabbit hole, I mean challenge. When I was 12 years old I was invincible. Really! I wouldn’t exaggerate. I had the world by the tail and I knew EVERYTHING. The autumn of 1979 was...

Hi Everyone! It’s been a minute… or two. Thank you for the welcoming messages waiting for me when I logged on. I can’t tell you how much that means. Happy New Year!! This year started out rough, (not self-induced…LOL!) Again with the fever,...

Today marks my Two Year Steemiversary. So much life has whizzed by and to be honest, it seems like a lifetime. When I first started here I had no idea about the Discord Multi-verse or that a witness wasn’t “watching” the birth of crypto. @shadowspub...
