We chatted on the way to the airport with the WheelTrans driver who works the night shift. We were her last passengers of the day. I’d asked her to tell me about her shift. What’s it’s like on the night bus that ferries people with disabilities from one place to another throughout the night. If […]
We’re just about ready. We’ve got patience at the ready. It’s a travel day again. The bus picks us up in a few minutes and then we’ll be travelling for almost 11 hours. We end up in Whitehorse, which we’re really looking forward to, this afternoon – their time. It’s been a long while since […]
Ruby was sitting doing her homework. She works intently, so intently that I become curious as to what it is that she is working on. I ask her what the project is, seeing pencils of a variety of colours being used. She picks up the paper and shows me. I see a big puzzle with […]
Note: I have permission from both people in this story. I agreed only to wait several weeks before writing it so that no one would be able to place where it happened in time. I think both mother and son for allowing me the honour of documenting our brief encounter. I rolled in through the […]
I am lost in a maze of passwords. I can’t get into several accounts because the passwords have changed. I even got an app that helps remember passwords and I forget the password for that! I’ve had no time to write a blog this morning because I’ve been trying to book bus trips for next […]
On our way to our hotel this weekend we received an email from our hotel telling us that the room we booked wasn’t available but that they had another accessible room, a smaller one, that we would be able to use. The email gave a phone number we could call, so, I did. I […]
I was pushing my way towards the movie we were going to see. Joe was in the line up getting tea. The carpet was plush and I was getting a real workout for my shoulders. I could feel that my thumbs were getting tired from the heavy pushing. But I’m enjoying taking the challenge and […]
Today is Thanksgiving Monday, a day off, and I’m here in the United States where it’s Columbus day, a day off. I’ve been sitting here thinking about what to write today as I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving and living a life of more intentional gratitude. But then, I keep getting struck about how hard this […]
It is Thanksgiving Sunday here in Canada. It’s a day that has interesting roots. The very first Thanksgiving in Canada, according the the historians at Wikipedia, was in 1578 during the search for the Northwest Passage. Martin Frobisher and crew had a very difficult time of it what with the ice and the storms that […]
Yesterday we went, again, to the patio where we like to have a tea. It was another lovely warm October afternoon. I spotted a table with a chair, empty and waiting for me. I scooted ahead and pulled in beside the table. Joe had asked me to go on ahead because he wanted to pop […]
