I am in the process of reformatting this post. Stay tuned!
So, I did to go to the Nonhuman Animal Rights Demonstration in Old Montreal. I made my way there on my own. I was hoping to have some company, but hopefully, next time.My trusty GPS lady guided me (did I tell you that I am directionally challenged?) without any mix-ups. I always laugh at her funny pronunciation of our French Street names. Sometimes I have to see the street name …
Good Day,
So here I am talking about Easter again. But, I am getting excited. It is a chance for all of our family to get together. My daughter and my son-in-law
are making the long drive here to be with us and they are bringing with them my two favourite little kiddos- my granddaughter and grandson.
After all, family celebrations like this are, for me, largely about the little kiddos. So, …
Good Day,

From both my son and Mr. Marlin, I …

We have had three days of glorious sun and warmish weather. No, not over 10 degrees Celsius, but a respectable 7 or 8. The huge snow bank on the front of our property has diminished somewhat. We heard the geese flying overhead one morning.
In the …
Good Day,
A few years ago,I was introduced to veganism by my daughter
when she was researching Veganism. I can’t tell you exactly how she became interested in this very important issue, but I can tell you that she is a girl with a big heart. Her main motivation is the plight of the nonhuman animals in this world who are caught in our cruel human industries and who cannot advocate for themselves.
Yes, we do hear about the occasional …
