When Something is All Things to All People. Or at least 7 million per year.

Posted on March 22, 2018 by carmengfarrell

One way Canada and India are different is that for millennials, a university degree from abroad means they stay abroad.  Most Canadian kids go to undergraduate school in Canada.  Even if they go away for school, they tend to come … Continue reading →

Was Ghandi’s pocket watch a useful tool or a rare favourite posession?

Posted on March 22, 2018 by carmengfarrell

Soft and thin.  Airy.  Yet warm.  A shield when needed.  Shade sometimes.  It changes my mood.  And it’s traveled the world.  It can make a t shirt and pants feel more special.  Occasionally it’s a pillow or a blanket.  It’s … Continue reading →

Posted on August 14, 2015 by carmengfarrell

This was our last stop with the RV and it had been my good intention to write about this fabulous campground and to recommend you stop there if you were driving Highway 33 through the Kettle Valley between Highway 3 … Continue reading →

I was just sharing with my 15 year old daughter that several of my friends had enjoyed the humour in “The Universe Has a Plan” blog post from earlier this month (thank you). “Really?”  she says.  “I should read it.”  … Continue reading →

Nelson: “Big City” in a Scenic Small Town Atmosphere

Posted on July 23, 2015 by carmengfarrell

The room is swaying.  It’s a pleasant room, and I have to say, for a campground ladies’ shower area, it passes the test.  But it won’t stop moving…but that’s not its fault.  It’s the 17 year old motor home shocks … Continue reading →

RVing to Okanagan Wineries

Posted on July 17, 2015 by carmengfarrell

So here’s my best solution to feeling stressed riding shotgun. She is oblivious to all potentialities and trusts her owner’s driving explicitly. Such is the peace of the zen existence of the family pet. I’m working on finding my groove. … Continue reading →

Posted on July 10, 2015 by carmengfarrell

And I shouldn’t mess with it. As events of this morning unfolded, I realized my wickedness from the night before has caught up with me. 🙂 I can tell I’m about to go on holidays…I know this mental space. I … Continue reading →

Boston: It Could Still be a Great Canadian City

Posted on August 3, 2014 by carmengfarrell

Boston. It should be part of Canada. I don’t think Bostonians would really mind. They like hockey. They have snow. They use “sorry” like we do. They’d assimilate quickly. Have you ever noticed that? To me, “sorry” should be reserved … Continue reading →
