I can understand that discrimination issue. After so much time in Quebec, I picked up the famed accent. People think I am a foreigner and one jerk told me to go back to my country. I replied, I am working on it!

One of April's brothers came by tonight to show us his newest addition to his car collection. Before I start, let me warn you of the coming weirdness.
I went outside with April to look at the car. When I saw it, I froze right next to April.
the car was a 1957 Buick station wagon!
The same...
I started that today. I asked the lady to make out a list, put it on her door and I pulled up the Walmart app to get a final tally for her groceries. I knocked on her door, held up my phone and wrote the amount on a slip of paper.
When I came back, I left everything there and the excess in an...
I swear Google is a G-d send in these insane times. Between my writing assignments and my partner being confined to home, Google Earth is a blessing.
I decided to look at the Chernobyl site and it felt like time stopped there. I also love doing virtual tours of cities and now I want to see...
I am awake to finish the East wall. I am on track to finish the painting by this afternoon.
The door is another matter.. it has Hugh's claw marks from his days as a puppy. I looked down and I am not sure I want to replace the door.

Oddly, when I hear the song 'Its my party' by Leslie Gore, I think of Montreal in the warm months. It makes me feel happy and I find myself singing along to it.

Sorry I have taken so long to reply to this thread but I often wonder if we do choose our bdays. Happy bday Klaud!
Whenever I meditate on the pl in Montreal, I wonder if that life had been born in early summer. As I have stated in other posts, I don't know my birth parents. I do know I am of...
I have thought the same thing about unfinished business. Lately, I have been thinking about what I really want to do. When I was younger, I was a premed student but became seduced by writing. I still keep up my CPR, triage and other skills.
I am seriously considering changing careers and pursue...
Allo Allo.. I just had a new dream about my PL in Montreal. This time, I know precisely where the location is located.
In the dream, I was standing with the woman from the garage dream. Behind us stood the Notre Dame Des Grace of Montreal. It's a beautiful cathedral. It's spring time since I...
I just had something wonderful happen in my life!
I was painting early this am and April my partner of 11 years, came in with her family quilt.
Her Grandpa survived Ravensbruck and came to America in 1952. He took his old clothes when he arrived in America and made a tradition of adding a piece...
Allo Allo Polaris- before I started the renovation, the room was a dark wood paneling. I couldn't tolerate it for long periods of time and would move to April's office to work. Her office overlooks the garden and the pool and it's in soft red pastels and white.
It dawned on me I found my writing...
Allo Allo all... I wanted to post a few things I have learned about being in isolation.
1. One pack of Oreos between two people teaches you the art of sharing.
2. All of those old board games and puzzles become a way to reconnect with your inner child and partner.
3. When you have a bird feeder...
Today, April and I were in Walmart, looking for a replacement HDMI cable. At the checkout, there was an elderly lady struggling with picking up her bags of groceries. I nudged April and we both loaded and carried out her groceries to the car.
While talking with the lady, we found out she lives a...
The reason I am asking is due to a comment made by April's dad when one of my articles was in the paper. He said it was well written and I did a superb job. I don't dare tell him writing comes naturally and easily.
