I’m canning #bcfruit as I have for fifty years. My grandmother taught me, as her mother (on right) taught her, back in #homesteadingdays. A taste of summer, come winter, but then, it meant survival as described in my #historicalfiction #immigrationsaga Time Enough.

Today in Alberta - August 19: The UCP government reverses its changes to expense disclosure policy. It had removed the requirement that cabinet and senior staff disclose receipts for expenses over $100, and it removed eight years of reports from a public website. It promises to restore the reports.

Nothing like the feeling of checking your own book out of the #publiclibrary. Wrote my first book age 10. #libraries have meant the world to me, always. #publishedauthor is a dream come true! #historicalfiction #immigrationfamilysaga #writinglife

Biggest #bumblebee I’ve seen in my life. #delphiniums and zero pesticides in my garden bring them in. So happy to greet them.

It’s the most amazing feeling, taking my own book out of the #locallibrary. Richard Wagamese said libraries saved his life. Mine too. #publiclibraries are so essential to communities and guardians of knowledge. #freedomtoread matters. I grew up with no books in my home. I cherish libraries.

So delighted to receive this certificate today. The poem was amongst the top 100 of 500 worldwide entries for this Australian publication. They also sent me a personal commendation letter. Holy cow! What a classy organization! I’ll try again this year.

Visited #nationalhistoricsite #ssmoyie in #kaslo, best-preserved in the world, like paddlewheelers on the #inlandwaterways of #michigan 1900’s I described in #TimeEnough! Show reality of the workers who provided luxury travel, even then. I felt like I was walking in my book.

Much-needed rain for our parched prairies. Only a sprinkle out of these beauties, though. #protectourwater

Always wonderful to connect with readers of #historicalfiction when presenting my #novel Time Enough. The backstory of #history, #familyimmigration from #isleofman is compelling, moving and relevant today. #publiclibraries are hubs of learning and engagement.

Lovely event last night @owlsnestbookstore in #yyc to present the backstory of my #historicalfictionnovel Time Enough. People are fascinated by this #immigrationsaga from #isleofman to #canada via #michigan in the early 1900’s. Shared family history stories too!

Rocky Mountain Bluebirds are coming home to #alberta! Can’t wait to see their beautiful little ones again! We must protect the #habitat of these fragile birds. #UCP sees only money on the #easternslopes of the #rockies. #saynotocoal

So excited that my poem “Riding On Boys With Cars, Dusk to Dawn,” was just published in the inaugural 2024 edition of @kentstate.bsky.social #Haymakerliterarymagazine! The young editors loved this reminiscence of drive-in marathons, vampire movies, stolen kisses…a by-gone era!
