They noticed Paul’s truck approaching and watched as he slowed down then pulled in behind the van. He stopped to examine the damage before joining them. “A few dents in the bumper but it’s fixable and won’t cause any problems with driving. As soon as we get to Uclulet, we’ll stop at the Station and […]
Passport
Passport “You’re my passport to happiness, did you know that?” “No pressure!” Mike responded with amusement. “Why do you say that? You’re pretty savvy.” “I’m intuitive, smart, careful and I plan accordingly. You, on the other hand, are a risk taker, you fly by the seat of your pants and you land gracefully every time. […]

“We did a report on the West Coast Trail in school a couple years ago. It was carved out of the rainforest, somewhere in the 1900’s, designed as a life-saving route for shipwrecked mariners, right?” “Yes, that’s right.” “You into hiking, Eilea?” Paul asked curiously. “Yes, although I’d have to work up to that one. […]
I have to share this! It’s so beautiful!
t b I was having a conversation with a fellow photographer and writer named Phyllis that visits my page (and I get the joy of also visiting hers). Words she spoke triggered a thought for a poem. She may think I have forgotten, but fortunately, this time I can happily say I have not. That […]

“I preferred it to Ace Ventura.” Twenty minutes later they reached Cathedral Grove parking lot. Eilea sauntered beside Paul and Andrew. “I love this walk. In fact, I love walking through any forest but this is one of my favourites.” “Here! Let’s try a bubble blowing contest. Watch this.” He blew a big bubble with […]

Colours for you.
I apologize for the condition of the pages (they’ve been well used) but perhaps this will help in identifying your best colours as you may be able to identify with one of the woman here. I am “Katie” with dark brown (nearly black hair with ash highlights) which is why everyone was so confused. […]
More on Colours
Hopefully what I’ve written previously helped you to choose your skin tone and whether you are a cool tone (with dark hair and eyes and therefore a winter) but if both are light, you are a summer. If your skin tone however is warm (and your hair and eyes are dark, you are an autumn) […]

“People must have found traveling down island pretty grueling back in the day. It was like uncharted territory commuting that distance on gravel logging roads, or traveling by ferry when the roads washed out. Fifteen hour trips or more one way to get medical aid,” he shuddered then continued, “Sometimes I’m all for modern conveniences […]
Colours and You
Many were interested in how colour works for you. I’ll add a little more and hopefully, this will make it easier for you to discern if you’re interested which colour best suits you. Winter – Stark white or black Heritage plays a big part in colours. Of course these aren’t fast rules as we are […]

Critical Error 44
“For efficiency sake, I suggest Andrew and Cliff use the main bathroom, you girls can share the one in your mother’s room, Brandon and I can share the use of mine. That should divide up nicely. You’ll have to time yourself for fifteen minutes each though, or we’ll run out of hot water.” They managed […]
Critical Error 43
“Paul, how long have you had horses?” “I used to stable horses for awhile, then I got Britches over three years ago and Checkers and Showgirl, just over two. My god, time flies. That reminds me, I have to take them in for their yearly check-up.” “How old are they?” “Britches is four and Checkers […]

“I noticed Andrew’s reaction when he saw us at the pool table. Besides, I’m not sure that the other kid’s parents would think about it either.” “I’m sure they would be as happy for me as I am. As for Andrew, he’s going to have to accept that one day I will meet someone […]
Critical Error 41
“Come in.” “It’s just me, mom. I came to tell you we’re back.” “Thanks, Christina. Did you have a nice time?” “Yeah, there’s a full moon tonight and it was a very romantic setting. We broke up and went our separate ways but I think Cliff and Theresa will be back pretty soon. I saw […]
