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

    Wonderful advice for New Year’s Eve, Linda. Love how you illustrated your message with Canada geese. Bill and I returned home late last night, and plan to have a quiet evening at home this year. Happy New Year!

      Thanks Laurie! I thought it would be fun to use these quirky pictures of the geese to send a fun message? As much as you travel, I am sure this is one night when it is nice to be home. I am happy to be at home right now with heavy snow and some freezing drizzle outside – ugh! Happy New Year to you and Bill!

    Have a fabulous new year! We’ll be spending a little time at our neighbors’, then getting home in time for our normal, early bedtime. Easy peasy… no driving… no hangover. 🥳

      Same to you Janis! It’s a quiet one for me too. It’s not a nice evening to be out as we have heavy snow and freezing drizzle – ugh! I’d head to bed early too, but we have fireworks going off in the neighborhood, so I might as well stay up.

    Great advice, Linda. We were happily tucked into bed early and slept through the arrival of 2026. Happy New Year, Linda!

      Thank you Ruth! I stayed up, not to toast the new year, but we have a lot of fireworks around, not necessarily on this street, but they usually last for about 45 minutes after the new year. They were shorter, probably due to the brutally cold temps. 🙂 Happy New Year to you and your family as well!

    Enjoyed the card and learning about the clocks. I think I’ve only seen two of them in person: Big Ben and the one in Bern, Switzerland.

      Thank you Eilene – I’m glad you liked the card. I found it interesting about the clocks too. I have seen the clock in NY’s Grand Central Station and Big Ben. Yesterday I heard a news story that they check Big Ben for accuracy up to six times on New Year’s Eve Day.

      Yes, I hope so too Dawn. I was doing a quick run-through of all the photos I took in September and October the other day and a photo where I stopped to take a pic of some leaves trailing down a tree, in a corner of the photo was a snake! I never saw the snake at the time, totally oblivious to it. It was a brown snake so it blended in with the tree! Happy New Year back at you!

        Yes! I am glad I didn’t see it at the time because that’s a narrow pathway. A few years ago at Lake Erie Metropark, I was on Trapper’s Run, a trail I don’t go on much as it’s raggedy and not much to see. I got near the end of the trail and put the camera away. Just then I saw something move and a big Eastern Fox Snake crossed the path in front of me – so no picture, but I just froze. That’s why I’m not keen on walking in the woods at the International Refuge – the day it was dedicated, the same type of snake was slithering right near Debbie Dingell’s foot. All the commotion and it didn’t hide?

      Thank you Diane! I originally had just a screenshot of the clocks in the Jacquie Lawson card, but then I decided to start sorting through some of the photos I took last Fall and saw these four geese shots from Elizabeth Park and those three shots of geese looking/acting strange clinched it for me to use them for New Year’s Eve. 🙂

      It was quieter than usual outside Barbara, likely since it was brutally cold, snowy and icy, so I think people preferred to stay inside where it was warm. 🙂 I did have fun with these pictures after doing my first, quick run-through of all the pictures I took in the Fall. I originally thought it would be a Wordless Wednesday pic as to the goose that looked like it had two heads, but I used it for New Year’s Eve instead. 🙂
