Women come in all shapes and sizes, right? Right. And women say they prefer to read about real women, not heroines who are movie-star glamorous with slender (but perfect) curves, and long, shapely legs the hero can’t keep his eyes off of. Those legs were a recurring theme in a romance I read recently! Women […]

Welcome to my second Sunday Edition sharing photos of snowy southeastern British Columbia, Canada. These photos were taken other years, since I had so many lovely ones and I wasn’t sure what I might be able to capture this year. We did have a very nice snowfall Wednesday this week, though, of about four or […]

Seeing porpoises, orcas, seals, otters, and humpback whales was the highlight of our trip to BC’s Sunshine Coast. We saw humpbacks on three different occasions, but the most spectacular was on the boat ride back from Desolation Sound (see previous weeks’ Sunday Editions!) when our guide gave us the scenic tour and we came upon […]
