I took forever to post this, because I trusted e-mail would do the job… My new website is now at www.juneyjunebug.com.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers!

At the greenhouse
May 24, 2011 – 7:00 am
Marie-Hélène loves going out on errands. For the past two weeks we’d visit various greenhouses (Saint Mary’s has an entire strip of them just outside the Perimeter) and we’d pick out a few plants at a time. If it were up to Marie-Hélène, our garden would be filled with red.
She takes after her Grandma Palud, [...]
Dear, dear Readers
May 20, 2011 – 2:07 pm
I’m working on creating a new website. There’s the truth plain and simple. The beginning of warmer days has a kind of effect that begs change… New flowers for the flower beds, lighter clothes, maybe a new dress or two, and those sandals I’ve had for three years are getting a little worn… So it [...]
Maintaining a long-distance friendship
May 11, 2011 – 7:00 am
By all appearances, I’m the kind of girl who makes few friends and keeps them jealously close. It’s mostly because I’m a shy introverted kind of person, who, along with her husband, quakes a little at the thought of attending the neighborhood’s annual summer solstice party. Oddly enough, I don’t mind public speaking.
So, as Jasmina’s [...]
Our girl
May 10, 2011 – 7:00 am
People ask me how Marie-Hélène is doing, and I suddenly realize that all her little developments are easily taken for granted… She’s a toddler, so busy and energetic and constantly moving, listening and parroting things back to us. She injects a regular does of smiles and laughter into our days…
She likes wearing hats, and if [...]
Potty talk
May 5, 2011 – 7:52 am
Me: Marie-Hélène, sit!
Marie-Hélène: Fini! (Done)
Me: No… I know you’re able to do a caca on the potty… You’ve done it before!
Marie-Hélène, looking like a little chimp: Blah, blah, blah.
Workspace still life
May 4, 2011 – 7:32 am
This was the desk area last week. It is an apt representation of my head. An agenda of things to do and things I jot down so I don’t forget. The University summer course schedule underneath, and a little pile of “Black Bean and Adzucchi Rice Chips, Chipotle Flavor”. With some help from Christian and [...]
Confessions of a bookworm
May 3, 2011 – 7:32 am
In the lull between exams and my next university course, I’ve been gorging myself on books. Poetry and biographies. It’s like Mardi Gras for my brain before the university imposed diet of Shakespeare. For the summer semester that begins this week, I anticipate being asked to buy some brick entitled “The Complete Works of Shakespeare”, [...]
Friday’s picture
April 29, 2011 – 7:00 am
“A good mother raising two or three children does a more creative job than a sculptor doing one of the most famous statues in the world.”
Dr Benjamin Spock during an interview with Lotta Dempsey heard here on CBC.
Shoes
April 28, 2011 – 7:00 am
Marie-Hélène needed shoes. She has sandals, but not shoes. She loves her sandals and she’ll even wear them around the house.
So, we rode to Wal-Mart and found shoes. She preferred the purple ones (like Anna would have!). The pink ones didn’t come in her size. So I bought the brown ones.
Then, when Papa came home, [...]
