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

    Ha! Climbing the ladder (or log) to success! Did you get to see these turtles “slide” into the water?

      Yes, they aim big Laurie! I did get to see every one of those turtles do the slow slide into the water. I always want to shout to them “no, I’m not going to hurt you – stay put!”

      Yes, that is true Ann Marie, though today they might have needed a sweater over that shell. I am loving these few days of cooler weather; I’m sure you will have a little spring in your step for your walk too.

    I often wonder that about a string of birds on a telephone line. Do they line up according to rank, age, maybe alphabetically?

    Turtles are so cute. I used to have one as a pet when I was very little.

    Cool title, Linda! I think it’s the vitamin D that they need to get (from the sunlight). We too should be out in the sun more (but not too much). 😊

      Thank you Tom. I like seeing them sunning themselves and that sounds like a good reason to get out of the water and sunbathe on a log, to get a little Vitamin D. I have been wearing UPF clothing and hats this year with our horrible heat and humidity to avoid getting burned. I was burned twice in April, on not particularly hot and sunny days.

    Ha! How do you know how old a turtle is? Do they know‽

      Just for a laugh, I would say you count their rings, like a tree. 🙂 But I am sure there are scientific ways to calculate their age. I am thinking about the Galapagos Islands tortoises that are very old and big and I’ve read articles telling they live to be 100 years old or older, so there must be a way. I have seen some photos of some very grizzled-looking tortoises through the years.

    It feels like a school excursion. See kids, this is what the world can look like.

    My mother used to occasionally say that she was moving “like a herd of turtles”. I guess that would look like what’s in your photo.

      I have never heard that expression JP and yes, the only time these guys (and gals) move in the least is when they catch sight of me, then they don’t crawl off the log, but merely roll off and plop overboard. 🙂
