The weather . . . → Read More: Penticton Pedestrian: almost-summer morning I wrote these awhile back in my notebook as I went walkabout – and even got them typed – but never did get around to posting them!

April 10, 2010 Our friend, D, came by yesterday afternoon, and invited us (me and hubby) out for a nice spring drive along the Shingle Creek Road from Penticton to Summerland.

Huge scattered . . . → Read More: Penticton Pedestrian: just life… nice… back roads, old log cabin, lost communities, good food at the end April 8, 2010 11:10 am…. Woke up at 5 am. Walked, about 6:30, to street church breakfast, with an amazing thunderstorm with huge jagged bolts of fork lightning streaking through a deep gray sky, followed by rolls of sheet lightning, and streams of rain pouring down. But by 7:00 the sky was beginning to . . . → Read More: Penticton Pedestrian: wonderful weather day! 24 March 2010 (again) Sitting out front at our little townhouse, in my comfy lawn chair with my feet up on my little kitchen stool, my “coffee stool” (rather than coffee table!) beside me, a cup of chai tea, a piece of my son’s black forest birthday cake – and my journal, creative writing notebook, planner, Bible, . . . → Read More: Penticton Pedestrian: neighborhood moments… and some good e-lists March 17, 2010 Well, today I wrote my first new story! Actually, I belong to a local writer’s group, and the challenge for our monthly meeting (tomorrow!
