In Roz Weston’s raw and intimate memoir, A Little Bit Broken, he writes about his first experience with therapy. (I don’t know whether he had more experiences. I’m still reading the book.) Tiny spoiler alert: Roz clearly needed therapy but didn’t return after one session. I get it. I didn’t go back after my first session either. My mom wouldn’t let me.

Hummingbirds were slow to discover our feeder but once they did, they must have gone onto Hummingbird Trip Advisor and given us 5 stars.

In addition to a goodie bag, some terrific contacts and great advice, I came home from the VO North conference in Toronto with Covid-19. My blog post about the conference published last week before I knew I was sick.

We’re about a month away from Ontario’s municipal election. The most important issues for Port Stanley as a whole seem to be:
…
I spent last weekend in Toronto attending the VO North conference; a gathering of voice-over pros and those who want to be.

Before Covid, kids, there were things called facials! They felt great and they left your skin feeling nourished and pampered.

I’ll admit it. I’m one of those people who judges a blue box if I walk past and notice non-recyclables in it. I study recycling rules like I’m cramming for the finals. And it looks like some of my neighbours are just winging it and hoping to pass. But it’s really not all their fault.

As you tour the village, you’ll notice that brightly painted post people stand here and there. The following photos are used with permission from Magical Port Stanley, which is loaded with gorgeous pics from around the village.

Yes, this is the unofficial end of summer. Kids back in school. Summer-only activities rolled up like so many yoga mats. But as a woman who puts her faith in science, I’m sticking to September 22 as the last day of summer. That’s still several days from now. (I’m not a woman of math!)

If your child wants to do it, and you can afford it, please put them in acting classes at CharACTer Curtain Calls in St. Thomas. I was a theatre kid, and I wish I’d stuck with it.

Here we are, considering a second attempt at becoming cat-toting RV owners. One concern is bigger than all the others. Even more important than gas prices or where to park for the night.

We haven’t eaten at every restaurant in Port Stanley – yet. But one of our faves has been the dining room/patio at Kettle Creek Inn.

We’ve had a TV show about nothing. (Seinfeld) Much ado about nothing. (Shakespeare) Now, there’s Japan’s “man who does nothing”, professionally.

Summer and ice cream. They’re inseparable. Visitors to Port Stanley tend to pair their stay with a stop at legendary Shaw’s Ice Cream, just outside town.

My back yard in the north Toronto neighbourhood of Willowdale was the closest thing to a cottage that I ever owned. It was private, fenced in, surrounded by cedars. I could enjoy the inground pool without feeling watched. On long weekends, it felt like the entire city emptied and headed for cottage country. I only had to open a sliding door to get there.

The haunting cries of the mourning dove are echoing through the village. Mornings, evenings – they’re possibly making the most prominent sounds right now.

Just the thought of yoga and goats together put a stupid grin on my face. I’d seen photos of women striking poses surrounded by goats. It looked like big fun and now I can confirm that it is.
