Watching television with my husband

You would think that after 32 years of marriage, I would know how my husband Philip's mind works and he mine. Every day we surprise each other and most of the time it's worth a chuckle or two.Last night we were watching the latest season of Homeland. The setting doesn't vary much - we're either at CIA headquarters, a surveillance stakeout, or someone's bedroom. I know there are more sets, but that's not the point. Anyway, as we're watching the show I point out to him that I like the bedroom…See More

Why it pays to work out at the gym.

Posted on June 1, 2012 at 9:05pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Forget the health benefits. There is more to working out at the gym than you may realize. It's a writer's paradise, or at least it is to me. Let me explain.

Warm up and cardio - the time to raise your heart beat and burn fat. It's also the time to watch people. Watch the interaction between men and women as they talk to each other. Take note of the body language and the language used (eavesdrop). Watch the smiles, the laughs and the flick of the hair. Look for tattoos or other…

Coffee

Awhile ago I had coffee with a friend in a local Second Cup. I saw Americano posted on the board. Immediately I thought of the strong coffee I had consumed in England while on holiday. I remember mistakenly believing the English were only good at brewing tea (or are they?) Not so. Coffee is their forte, too.

I ordered a double Americano, added a bit of cream to the china cup and then I nursed it for an hour. I breathed in the rich aroma, I savored the strong taste on my tongue. I…

My thoughts are heavy today.

As we grow older we're bound to lose touch with loved ones. Friends move away. Family members may become distant and separate themselves from us. We have the telephone, Canada Post, and the internet to keep us connected. There's always the holidays - Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter to bring us back together, if only for a short while.

But what happens when a friend or family member dies? What do we do then? How do we tell them that we're thinking of them, that we miss them.…

Hope you are well!

At 5:17pm on June 3, 2012, Bethann Garramon Merkle said…: Hi Deb, Thanks for the welcome! I signed up for the Farm, Ranch & Rural group, despite living in Quebec City at the moment. I grew up in rural Montana, and that is still where my heart is. I have been writing a bit about rural Quebec, since we moved here, and hope to do more of that while we are living in the province.

If you are interested, you can see my work on my personal site, fruit.root.leaf. (http://fruitrootleaf.com), or at the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, where I am a writer and photographer (www.qctonline.com).

Best wishes, Bethann
