It all Started with Sorting

This was taken for a 2011 blog from http://livingtimelessly.blogspot.ca/2011/01/sorting-pictures-and-memories.html


Sorting pictures and memories took me a week to go through. The collection of picture albums, boxes of journals, diaries and committee records filled the room. What an over whelming and very emotional.

Throughout the next 6 years of writing and rewriting; editing and re-editing I have a finished product.

One More Sold

November 10, 2017
This is the first entry of this new blog for Notes and Clippings- It All Started in Saskatchewan. The book has been out for a few weeks now and is being sold at a good rate. I am so pleased with the interest and comments from those who are reading it.

This morning Randal and I met Elaine and Tom Bugg at Tim Hortons in Osoyoos. They were on their way to Arizona. Tom and I go back to our teen years when I was living on the family farm in Gallivan and my Psychiatric Nursing days in North Battleford.  While hiking through Europe my two nursing companions and I visited with Tom and his wife Elaine in France in 1961 when he was stationed in the Air Force.  A few years ago Randal and visited them in Yuma. It is good the keep in touch during so many years.     


There will be more postings as I get this up and running.
