Things have calmed down a lot since last weekend’s unexpected appendectomy for my daughter. Mizz J is getting a bit better each day, and is ready to resume normal life again as an MSW student, after a solid week of recuperation. And I’ve been able to pay attention once again, to what I want to …
Yesterday my good friend and Barbados buddy, Mizz C, came down to Chez Badass for a visit so I was able to present her with her (May) birthday gift. OK, I know this sounds bad. But we are the kind of friends who still feel close even though we haven’t seen each other in months. …

Dear Bloggie, I picked up the tickets tonight for the winter get-away Mizz CJ and I have planned, in Barbados. Wheee! This is a special trip to commemorate our being friends for 50 years. We met in Grade 2, you see. My daughter Mizz J and I had such a lovely time there in January …
