White Linen: "Soooooo good to see you. It has been years. How are you ….?"
You digest several minutes of catch–up. Paisley changes the subject and your ears perk up.
Paisley: “You look...

Did you ever wonder why you burst into song while in the shower?
Could be a shower, or a waterfall. Similar concept. Here’s why we sing. It is comforting to step into a relatively secure, comfy space and be able to shut out the world.
Naked and safely enclosed in the bathroom, alone, unencumbered. The perfect setting to burst into song. The warm shower water has a rhythm of its own. It feels...

'Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread'. Many of us know the version of this original Pembrokeshire (a county southwest Wales) proverb as ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. An apple is truly a fruit to be respected.

“I have used this product (Zinc Oxide Blend) for 4 years on my 4 children and myself. We love it. Never have had a burn. My Mum bought a children's sunscreen in 2016 and took the grandkids for a holiday. That "children's" sunscreen ate all four of my kid’s goggles. How can that be good for the skin? My Mum now uses Earth to Body sunscreen. It does not eat goggles." Marnie, Comox
Thanks, Marnie...
