Earlier this Summer, prepping radishes Hello everyone. Hope you are all well. Anyone who knows me, knows, I love to eat, I am a rotund individual. I also love to cook, for people I love.

Sweet memories, my grand-maman’s vanilla cake, my mom’s roast chicken, my step grand-mothers’s tortes, my cousin Eva’s stuffed cabbage, my dad’s Saturday morning pancakes, my friend Denise’s bread pudding… If I had to pick a last meal, it would be tough to pick ..read more

Selfie of Catherine and I last August during the Pride festivities In August of 2020, I met Catherine, we had been chatting for a bit, on a dating website for people over 50, Silver Singles. I had been ‘dating’ someone else. I add the quotation marks because it was a long distance relationship and we never actually met . I liked this person, a lot, she was smart, funny, intense, but it was becoming clear that we didn’t want the same things. I liked Catherine from the first, she was calm, centered, smart, she was/is really funny, nobody makes me laugh like her. We went out 4 weeks in a row, fo ..read more

Good morning everyone. I was up, early, before the sun, which isn’t really a big deal at this time of year, still, I didn’t have to get up at 6, I work from home, it’s a short commute. I had lots roaming, around, my brain, no matter how many notes, I take, or post its, I leave on my computer, they’re always seems to be stuff, that wakes me and says, “hey you have to sign up for that, you have to renew that…” and when it’s a new job, with new skills to learn, people to meet, places to go, well it’s more, preoccupying. I am certainly, not complaining, I love new challenges, and a stimulated bra ..read more

Top I took in 2013 or so, the bottom one Catherine took last weekend 2023 February 18 th Well here it is, Blog post 1000! I have thought about what to write. I have thought about, how many people, see, writing a blog, a public journal if you will, as, self indulgent. I suppose it is. But, I have learned, a few things, because of this blog. The most important, of these, is, that, when I write about, my thoughts, my feelings, they become, clearer, this blog helps me “talk”, through things. Many people over the life, of this blog, have written to me, privately, to share how, it brings them a cert ..read more
