Monday, August 3, 2015. Tech Tools to Love. Perhaps the greatest pleasure of retirement has been the ability to do things (for the most part) when I feel like it, when the mood strikes. The greatest pitfall of retirement, however, is the ability to procrastinate so long that nothing gets done because I'm too busy waiting for the mood to strike. Today, I'm sharing a couple of tools to help you - whether you're retired or not! Avoid procrastination and become more productive. After you set the active hours...

http://wynnanne.blogspot.com/p/food.html
ORDER YOUR OWN COOKBOOOK. The Sibbald Family Famous Recipes Cookbook. Includes most of the recipes on this page - and more! NOTE: DO NOT ORDER VIA THE ABOVE BLURB LINK - the price is better through Amazon.com. A print copy is available on Amazon.com. For $36.62 plus shipping. I know.

Woo hoo! 1 I love food. 3 One of my re...

Wynn Anne's Meanderings: California: Flora
http://wynnanne.blogspot.com/2015/05/california-flora.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. The appropriately named "powderpuff" flower. Canadian winters are long and, in our region of Ontario, completely kill any and all flowers. By March, my eyes are hungry for those splashes of colour and vibrant life. On our trip to California, I was treated to a banquet of glorious flowers. This post will be (mostly) wordless, except where I tell you the names of the plants, if I can find them. You may do your own sleuthing here. A succulent in either the ice plant or crassula family.

Wynn Anne's Meanderings: Europe 2014
http://wynnanne.blogspot.com/p/europe-2014.html
If all goes according to plan, my trip to Europe will include The Netherlands, a bit of Belgium, Switzerland, and a brief foray into France. Unlike my trip to Ireland with Stephen in 2013. I will not be using a tour package, but will be travelling with my Aunt Winkie and will be staying with friends and family, so I hope costs will be a little lower. (By the way, Stephen is planning a trip to India with his family in 2015, which I will not be going on.). Piglet, Wynn Anne, Pat. The Next Big Trip. Of the ...

Wynn Anne's Meanderings: April 2015
http://wynnanne.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. We have, at long last, painted the kitchen! The last time I wrote about our kitchen renovation, I prophetically wrote. We have arrived at the stage in this project where it is easy to run out of steam. The space is functional and attractive. But there is still a long list of things to be done.

I loved loved loved my week at writers' camp. We had so much laughter around that table! But the greatest surprise of the entire week was what happened on our last evening together when I lobbed a gentle pun to my classmates (six other writers and our teacher) as we lounged on the patio before doing our public readings (eek! Ah, well. I have t...
