My name is Norma. I'm married to Lionel. We have 5 kids - Taryn, Sarah, Robyn, Wendy and Peter, and four grandchildren, Tony, William, Marcus, and Apollo. At the moment, I am taking a break from school teaching, to catch up on my writing and such; I am also working part-time as an office manager. I also enjoy reading, facilitating Christian study groups, exercise, gardening, playing guitar, and a multitude of other interests. I hope you will find some stimulating ideas here, and I'd love to hear your reactions and thoughts too... leave a note in the Guest Book, or email me.

It was blowing hard last night – first time in this house that I could hear the wind catching the building. They had snow in Coquitlam and the north shore – several centimeters of very white but very wet and mushy stuff! And snow on Haida Gwaii a couple days ago, [...]

So today was beautiful and sunny. I swept all the house and hubby washed the floors! I washed the winter hats, gloves, and scarves, and dried them outside in the sun and wind. I knocked down a bunch of boxes in the shed and took them to the cardboard recycling [...]

LOL… well, more and more I’ve been finding that I’m really getting “brain dead” by midafternoon… and so later afternoons and evenings are pretty much a total loss for any thinking type activities I’d like to do…
I’ve been trying to get exercise and fresh air (like walking to and from work) and that [...]

Woke up 4:20 am. Spent some time sitting by hubby in front of the TV watching a bit of Stargate… then checked face book… and sent an email or two… then had a bit of breakfast… and then a shower… followed by a long soak in the tub: first real “bath” (other [...]

Woke up at 5:00 am – silly internal alarm clock! It was supposed to be my “sleeping in” day!
Checked face book and copied down a couple of great quotes:
“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly” … and …
“When it rains [...]

I was just writing about some interesting dreams I’ve been having… and I realized how much fun I was having, writing about them.
I really do need to get back to writing (creative, fun writing – something other than all the pretty serious blogging I’ve been doing lately on my various blogs and in [...]

Alarm just woke me from an interesting, old-timey dream. We were driving around the countryside in an old care – a 1950s Chevy I think – and everything else n the dream was pretty much old-timey too. But it was very clear and real. We went into a little corner [...]

I came home from work, made lunch (chili), and watched 40 minutes of CSI – then started to watch another show, but then turned it off. Did a quick facebook check. Now I’m so tired… oh dear, should have remembered to do something “hands-on” eh! … Anyway, I do want [...]

Yay! I am up early and having time with You instead of rushing to boil eggs and do baking! I’m really sorry I didn’t think sooner of doing afternoon baking. I really am not in shape after work to do more “head stuff” … and so I have really wasted [...]
