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

He has to wear those white gloves, so it’s easier to type on a manual typewriter! My mom had a Royal typewriter just like this one and I used it throughout school. You had to try to make very few mistakes as it took forever to try to correct them!

I know that’s right Wayne. I can remember doing a book report or term paper and needing to add footnotes at the bottom of the page/pages. I tried to estimate how much room was needed for the footnote and misjudged the space and would have to retype the page over. I’d write the document out longhand to begin with – it was a painstaking process, not to mention having to go to the library for reference materials and needing to xerox pages from encyclopedias which were too big for the xerox machine platen. Kids now Google and copy and paste the info into their document – not fun back in the day at all.

Thank you for sending the Santa tracker link! We did track him and wondered how he could travel the whole world on Christmas Eve. He’ll need a long break after all that work and perhaps get Covid tested.

It is fun to track him Esther – glad you got it in time. My all-news radio station always tracks Santa all day long on Christmas Eve. They’ll give updates which is fun. Yes, he’s probably feeling sick after all those cookies and glasses of milk and I hope he wore a mask. 🙂

Me too, then the dog woke up. Did you see the cat riding around in the train? It was a quiet Christmas with the rainy day, but that was nice to relax too. Hope yours did not tax you too much as you continue to recuperate.
