About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

      Glad you enjoyed them Ally and thank you! A fellow blogger just said Parker was probably drinking peanut butter beer and I didn’t know there was peanut butter beer. She send a link – some funny names for the various beers. To use a cliché “you learn something new every day.”

    I’m waiting till Parker falls asleep from the beer and stealing his pot of Gold! Maybe I’ll leave a bag of peanuts?

      Do help contribute to Parker’s cause, especially since the geese have been swiping goodies lately. A fellow blogger commented that Parker might be drinking peanut butter beer – I didn’t know they made beer from peanut butter. She sent a link and there are several and fun names for them too.

    Peanuts and beer make for squirrels that get nutty. 🙂

        The squirrels in the yard are out and about more now. There is a pretty gray one that is really pert and lively! 🙂

        We only started getting the gray and black squirrels a few years ago – before it was just the Fox squirrels. I think the gray ones are pretty with their coloring, but they are so shy … except Grady, the gray squirrel I wrote about in many posts. He was a character, along with his pals and I enjoyed feeding them every day … all six are gone now thanks to the local Cooper’s Hawk and I still feel sick about it. They all disappeared around Easter last year. The geese and ducks at the Park have taken to eating the sunflower seeds and peanuts I put out for the squirrels and birds. This is something that just started this week. I tried standing there until the squirrels and birds get their share, but they walk right up in front of me. Every critter for itself it seems!

      Ha ha – Parker would be like that squirrel video that made the rounds a few years ago. The squirrel was eating fermented berries off a bush and kept falling out of the tree.

      Glad you like the pictures Barbara and thanks for wishes too. I thought I’d have some fun with this holiday since it fell on a Wednesday for Wordless Wednesday. Glad you liked the card too. I thought I’d put a little fun into everyone’s day.
