I am Canadian, but I wasn’t always. I don’t remember much about coming to Canada.  But I do remember the day we took our oaths and became citizens.  I was 10 years old by then.  On a winter’s day in March with the harshest, most biting wind I have ever experienced, we headed to city [...] Read More >

The other day I was halfway to the store when I realized that I really didn’t need the thing I had gone out to buy. It was a small thing, just some more ribbon for a project I was working on, but the truth was, I had ribbon at home.   There was probably enough to [...] Read More >
