LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 145 (March 29, 2008) Amazingly we had a big snow storm here in the Vancouver area. Huge snow flakes falling thick and fast…and we’re almost into April! With all that snow I expected we would get a smaller turnout to Living Room than usual. It was sticking to the grass and to […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 141 (March 15, 2008) I’m feeling amazingly uplifted, ready to tackle my housework today, something I’m never very good at.

Read More...I need to comment here. There is a problem when poor health takes away the meaning in life you once had.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 125 (December 23, 2007) I’m still battling depression. Yesterday I had a great big list of things to do. Last chance to do laundry, clean, shop, and wrap.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 123 (December 16, 2007) With Mom’s unwellness to deal with, Christmas is more chaotic than usual. But I think I’m handling it okay. It’s just difficult to get around to – or to get in the frame of mind to – do the baking I’d like to do. But tonight I will […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 111 (November 10, 2007) Yesterday was another Living Room meeting.
