Day #43 Usually I don’t reveal the inspiration of my blog titles until the end of each post, but today I must break with tradition and dive right into the title topic of today’s commentary. Now, I don’t want anyone to think that I am fixating on my yearly birth anniversary, but there is a…

Day #42 Shockingly it was raining in Fort Hope today. According to the weather network, we are supposed to be in for at least a few days of sun over the next little while. It’s not that rain was the defining factor of the day, I just like to keep you all abreast of the…

Day #41 I promised last night that I would tell you a little bit more about yesterday’s canoe adventure. So, here it goes…We put our canoes in the water at about 5:00pm, just short of a place called ‘Pioneer Pit’. It was freezing cold, rainy and altogether miserable, but away we went.

Day #35 Yesterday I asked for a cavalry charge…Today I received it! If only life always worked this way! The 4-6 class at Literacy Camp had once again dwindled to a measly 4 children as of 12:30 on Monday. Today, by 12:30 our numbers once again ricocheted off the bottom, all the way back up…

Day #34 Last night was the first night since I’ve been in Fort Hope that I haven’t slept particularly well. Perhaps it was a result of that nagging offbeat that I felt pulsating through my ‘yesterday’, or maybe it was the excitement of eating my white macaroni for lunch that kept me awake; whatever the…
