Gill is back. To answer her question, the main thing I’m doing in the hopes of making the world a little bit better is just being myself. I’m not trying to sound egotistical, I just mean that I’m doing my best to do what I always try to do anyway regardless of where we are …

Gill Remembers A Family Friend
Our condolences to Gill and anyone else who knows this lady. In Memory of Leona Knott Oct. 26 1928-Nov. 24 2018 I was getting my breakfast ready when a family friend called to inform me that someone who had been a large part of my childhood had past on. A Good Neighbor When I was …
Parents Know All
Gill seems to be recovered from her surgery and back in action, although she’s not talking about that here. It is a known fact that one can’t outsmart their parents. Whether you’re four and you eat that entire plateful of delicious chocolate chip cookies or sixteen and some bottles are no longer in the liquor …
A Couple Updates From Gill
I’ve gotten a couple of updates from Gill recently that I’m just getting to now. In this first one, “today” = Sunday because I was busy long weekending. Community Service When one thinks of church sponsored events, one of several things probably comes to mind. Fish fries, revival meetings and forced conversions, or in rarer …
Many A Word From Gill
While we’ve been busy largely neglecting this place the last little while because summer, Gill has still been sending things in. So here, in no particular order, I shall now plunk a bunch of the stuff about what she’s been up to into a single, gigantic Gillstravaganza. I’ll also confess to not doing much editing …
Family Vacation
Gill is back to talk the people on your family road trip. Number one is absolutely Carin, and I can see myself as a four, maybe a five and probably a seven. I love useless trivia, and somehow I can be both easily annoyed and very easygoing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nLiQBV6A7c Get out the road maps, pack your …
Vacation Bible School Makeover
Here’s Gill with a few words on what she’s up to these days. I don’t know where she got her ideas about volunteering, but that was never what I saw where I grew up. When you think of Vacation Bible School, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Probably you think of arts, crafts, …
Not So Kid Friendly
Gill returns to look at a topic we’ve covered before. This seems like a good example. Have you ever been curious about the origins of those stories and rhymes we read, sang and chanted as children? They may leave you with nightmares. So from sleeping beauty being violated to some very racist songs, here are …
Korean Fusion BBQ
Gill is back with a restaurant recommendation. I went downtown today for something different to do. My friend Natasha and I were searching for a good lunch spot, and we found just that. Bul-Gogi looks and smells like a traditional BBQ place, but once you step inside it dares you to dive in to its …
It’s A Neighbour Thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL3xSctTB5c Hello again, Gill. This time she comes bearing bad neighbour stories and wondering about our own. For us, that’s easy. There are these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and probably a few I’m forgetting. Yes, we’ve had …
