You Are My Sunshine
Hartington, Ontario was the first village I ever lived in. My dad and mom had built a little bungalow on, what would now be considered, a large lot. First memories include a beautiful red pedal car. So exciting! I wasn’t much for dolls, although I did have a black cloth doll I never far from…

What Do I Know?
I’ve finally mastered getting on the horse again after 20 years. It’s still scary and my horse is not a pokey one.

Frozen
Why It’s interesting to me that even though as a youth I always wanted to be a journalist, I have such a difficult time writing anything down now. I wrote many stories and poems in public school and high school and even kept a journal while traveling west with my parents and siblings when I…
