Destination: Seville, Spain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Folks, I’m going to take a KitKat break here. In the past, I have been proactive in pre-loading my Substack behind-the-scenes so you can reliably enjoy your routine Saturday morning post. This month ran away from me though (or walked away, really). Kim and I have been filling our days on foot and when we weren’t walking I was freelancing, reading about Sevillian marmalade history, making a magazine and also creating a lot of things with quinoa because we accidentally boiled enough for a lesbian

When I heard the back-up alarm in our driveway, I hopped up, assuming it was the Honeywell dude who was replacing our hydro meter. Maybe there was an issue? He had pulled in five minutes previous, informing me that there would be a temporary hydro outage.Instead, it was a Canada Post truck and the ever-smiley employee who had delivered countless things to our doorstep this summer. I think her name is Charlotte but it could be Charmaine. It’s definitely not Charcoal but Char-something! Was it Cha

It’s now two weeks before our departure to Spain to crack off on the cobbles of an ancient Roman trade route known as the Via de la Plata (The Silver Way).

Forty-five years ago sounds like grandma-speak!Inspired by the back-to-school fever of squeaky new shoes and needle-sharp pencil crayons at the ready, I thought I’d catch the school bus and trundle down memory lane Mount Pleasant Elementary.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fI0j!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%
Look Inside this Junk Drawer! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ten years ago, Kim and I agreed to be a part of a local Holly Jolly Holiday House Tour. As any friend or family member will attest, we own five Christmas decorations and they all fit in one snug box. Last year, after being in Spain for a month, I totally forgot about putting our two creepy pumpkin head people on display for Halloween, so they joined our three snow people in an all-inclusive holiday display bringing our decor count to seven items. For the Holly Jolly tour, houses were paired with
