Moving Along
This photo hasn’t been seen much, in part because it isn’t a great photo. But the deep dive I have been doing into my photo files means I’ve been ‘discovering’ old photos and thought I would share this one. As part of writing A Thread Runs Through It, I spent a lot of time…

Conferences
Aerial view of my town showing the horizon Naturally enough, conferences have been much on my mind of late.

Job List
Got home to a mail box filled with parcels, including this ‘bunny eared bag o’ goodness’ as Janet Dawson calls them. Apparently someone forgot to put the invoice in, though. If it doesn’t come under separate cover today I will have to email them because I know it isn’t free! OTOH, there may be a…

#TBT
It’s not actually Thursday, but here’s a throwback… click on the photo to biggify… The photos were taken at a conference in Victoria BC. When I was paging through the album – one of several I sorted through this morning at the guild room – I thought it was an ANWG conference, but now I’m…
