the man on the street…live from downtown amherst
Dear Diary, My husband, Robert, never touches the computer but last year he got an iPhone and he has started collecting hundreds of videos on his little phone. From the 108 year old lady from Centennial Villa, to Coal Miners who were underground in Springhill, to me on the phone in the kitchen. Some of them are interesting, but others like me on the phone, well not so much. There have been all kinds of … Read entire article »

celebrate the indy’s ….they’re just so pretty
Dear Diary, the other day I was in Sackville , New Brunswick and walked by this hat display in the window of Blooms, a flower shop on the main street run by Haidee Roberts and her business partner. It was just so pretty, so inspiring I had to show you. I think it is a great example of “create beauty everyday”.

children sorta knit you new friendships
Dear Diary, Sometimes your kids can lead you places. One thing I have learned for sure is that your kids bring friends into your life. Sometimes you simply become friends with their friends but often you become friends with their friend’s parents because you share things. Some things you share are simple like driving. Some times you share worries. Sometimes you share stories. You are drawn together by community. You are mothers first. Without your kids you’d … Read entire article »

sweet old small town life
Dear Diary, I have taken to wearing my camera around my neck sometimes because if you pull it out of your bag it just makes people uncomfortable. If you have it out, people almost expect that you will use it. Personally I hate getting my picture taken, but some people love it. When I was walking up the road, Diane Bacon, from our local hooking group ran out of Bella’s the local cafe and said, … Read entire article »

don’t let me bore you, let alone myself
Dear Diary, sometimes you would like to say to someone…”its not all about you.”. There you go…and you thought I was sweet. Sometimes you just feel like telling someone that very thing… you wanna wave-your  hands in the air and say it clearly but you don’t. Thing is sometimes I need to tell myself that …”it’s not all about you Deanne.” and I do tell myself it. I have a lot of focus. I love it … Read entire article »
