To everyone watching the devastating #LAfires from somewhere safe: When you have to flee a disaster zone, you are on your own. You may have little time to evacuate and it will likely be chaotic. If you live in a place vulnerable to fire, floods and earthquakes, do you have your GoBag ready?

My contribution to holiday dinner. I made way too many cabbage rolls for a small gathering, but that’s what mom would have done. We lost her a long time ago, but her tradition remains. 🙏🏼

My original Aloe is having the life sucked out of her by this embedded offspring. Note the little side pup. She’s produced so many. What do you think is going on here? I’m thinking I should separate it.

It’s time for all the “unmatched coffee mug” people to come forward. (Maybe I’ll even create a starter pack.) Behold this morning’s mug and my personal rainy morning favourite. #cbcradio
