Introducing Reggie
Reggie is our parrot – African Grey by species but don’t get any romantic notions that he traveled to Canada by ocean liner to join the family. He was born in Okotoks, Alberta, 20 minutes south of Calgary, in 1997 and we suspect he was the one brown egg in the nest. He is mostly…
The Bravest Man I Know
(Above) That is him. Bravest man. And you will see why. My Husband Bruce Cole The bravest man I know is my husband Bruce Donald Cole. From little bits and pieces that I have included in my blogs, Bru has had a brain tumor since 1999. He had a craniotomy then, radiation and then a…
Bella Goes To The Vet
(Above) Bella in repose Neither Bru nor I could remember how old Bella was, if we ever knew at all. “I think she’s 7,” one of us said. “I think she’s 5,” the other countered. Bella wasn’t talking. She was just staring at us like YOU TWO ARE SERVING ME? When we adopted THE HEIFER…
DNA Test Update April 2019

The Dining Room Table – Update
Above – all of the players – gathered together. RECAP – Bought a dining room table from Wayfair.ca. They shipped it. We received the base, all packed nice. It was delivered by UPS. No glass top was in the truck as parcel #2. After a week I called Wayfair. After 4 more days I called…
Crimewave From a Different Wheelchair
Above – The Devil’s tools. I went shopping with my mom Clara a few days ago. The planning process for this trip took about 4 years. She is in Assisted Living and in a wheelchair, so we had been plotting and scheming that I would meet the Handi-bus at Walmart and then the two…
Label Fuckery
I did not know that there were labels on our clothes that said funny things. Now I will have to go through all of my stuff and look at all of my labels and see if I have any. Here are a few that I found lurking out on the dreaded Internet. Can be washed…
