Treasures to Me: The Last Laugh
http://treasurestome.blogspot.com/2008/12/last-laugh.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. This is a story I wrote in the early 90s. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. The character of Old Joe is based on a street person I got to know when I drove taxi. However, the story is strictly fiction. Enjoy! It’s colder tonight, he thought. Max pulled his beaten overcoat closer to his frail body. He took a dog-eared photograph from the inside pocket of his coat. He stared at it longingly. If only…! They’d been such a happy family. Then, the argument....The nex...

Treasures to Me: October 2007
http://treasurestome.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. The Spirit Bear is the Kermode bear (Ursa Americanus Kermodie.) It lives in British Columbia's rainforest. This bear is not a cousin of the polar bear, or an albino. It is a sub-species of the black bear. Both parents must have a recessive gene to make the black bear white. One family can consist of both black and white bears. The Kermode bear is known to the Tsimshian People as "Moksgmol" - the spirit of the ancient rainforest. Thus the name, "Spirit Bear.". The Kermode bear...

Treasures to Me: The Eagles of Squamish
http://treasurestome.blogspot.com/2008/02/eagles-of-squamish.html
Friday, February 1, 2008. The Eagles of Squamish. It is estimated that 10,000 eagles visit the arteries of the Squamish River between mid November and mid February. The largest known group of wintering raptors of Bald Eagles on Earth was counted at 3,796 in 1994. Young bald eagles are different shades of brown. When the bird matures to four years, the white head and tail feathers, bright yellow eyes, beak and talon appears. These eagles live as far north as the edge of the Arctic Circle and as fa...The m...

Treasures to Me: December 2007

Saturday, December 22, 2007. Bringing Home the Tree. This is a story that I wrote three years ago. I do hope you enjoy it. Christmas has always been a source of delight to me. When I was a child, Mom and Grandma began to prepare for the Christmas holidays as early as September. When we went down the hill, Grandpa would pull the reins and the team would veer to the right. Here, an evergreen forest grew. There were trees of every size imaginable. At the edge of the wood, Grandpa would pull back on the rein...

Treasures to Me: May 2008
http://treasurestome.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 8, 2008. The Old Red Barn. At the back of the barn was the pigpen. Usually there were three to four sows housed here. One of my favorite things was watching the mother pig suckling somewhere from eight to ten piglets. She’d lie on her side, eyes closed, while her babies squealed and fought over a teat.

Treasures to Me: Grandma's Kitchen
http://treasurestome.blogspot.com/2008/12/grandmas-kitchen.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Grandma's kitchen had no modern appliances, no fancy gadgets. It didn't even have electricity. It was a place that throughout my childhood, remained much the same. Grandma's kitchen had many other things that were of interest to a small girl. The wainscoting fit tightly to the wall and was painted snow white - the top half of the room was always papered. My memories of Grandma's kitchen are happy ones and remain forever etched on my memory. I laugh now at the recollection ...

Treasures to Me: February 2008
http://treasurestome.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2008. February is Black History Month and I would like to pay tribute to one of the greatest Black women in history - Harriet Tubman. The Underground Railroad was established in the US to aid slaves in finding a route to freedom. With the help of anti-slavery advocates and abolititionists, hundreds of slaves made their way north to escape the shackles of slavery. Many continued on to Canada because slavery had already been abolished here. In 1851, Tubman brought her family to St&#...
