These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Important Post About/From Ruth in Canada

Be sure to read my note at the bottom of this post.



I’ve been having an off-blog conversation with Ruth from Canada and I want to update you all on what she shared with me.

We all pushed to get Ruth to set up her own blog. I have learned that Ruth is a relative novice to computers and the Internet, and is still somewhat baffled by some things. She tried to set up a profile so she could comment more easily, but she ran into several snags and eventually gave up.

Then she said maybe she should just visit, but not comment. WHAT??? I told her no, please comment. And I told her that I would post something to let everyone know that she isn’t avoiding a blog to avoid us.

Now, here is the sad/dumb/ridiculous/neglectful part ... I wrote the above right after talking with Ruth sometime around the first of January. Then I forgot to publish it!!!!! I just found it sitting on my desktop, right where I should have seen it long ago. I’m a nitwit. Mea culpa!! Mea culpa!!!

Sorry, Ruth! Please don’t take offense. It was just a hair-brained error on my part.

Please come back, Little Ruthie! Come back and comment!!!!

BTW, Ruth sent me a beautiful Power point slide show about Canada and I'd love to put it in a post. Does anyone know if it is possible to upload a PPS??

  1. Are you sure she's not upset because you didn't pick the name Wilson for the cat?? (another vote which makes 5 for wilson)

    Seriously though....please come back Ruth. We love hearing from you. I know I missed you when my blog was private.

  4. Oh my goodness Lynilu you are the absolute sweetest person and just for being so nice I will change my vote to WILSON. I'm not about to get in to the blogging thing right now as I am off to Florida for 5 weeks, and would surely forget what I'm supposed to know. I will keep in touch, thanks to all the computers in the Public Libraries made available to tourists. I will be anxious to see what Lucky will eventually be called LOL

  5. Caroline -- one vote per poster!!! But I like your style (and you can have my vote since I didn't vote the first time around!!!) LOL!!!

    Ruth is around -- I've seen her at Sage and told her she's always welcome...she knows that.

    As for forgetting to post this -- it happens to all of us Lynilu.

  6. And you talk about ME being forgetful!! HEE HEE

    It's alright, sweetie. We ALL forget things from time to time :-).

    C'mon back Ruth!!!

    Now, about this PowerPoint thing...I'm not sure how publish that on your blog. Other than maybe uploading it to something like, www.slide.com. That's all I can think of.

    Good luck!
