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

Sunday sauntering.

Just as the meteorologists promised, the weather finally ceased being overly hot and humid … in fact, there was a beautiful breeze going when I left the house for the first of two walks. I decided to split up my … Continue reading →

Shake and bake.

The sun is getting up later and retiring earlier these days. It makes me feel sad, because calendar-wise, I know we are headed toward Fall and colder weather, even though we are still immersed in this relentless heat wave and … Continue reading →

Tuesday Musings.

It’s been awhile since I mused about anything, so, today I’ll dust off and resurrect “Tuesday Musings”. Today, was not just a good day, but a G-G-Great day, because I officially “arrived” and am in the 3G age! So, I’m … Continue reading →

Well, it’s a saturated Saturday …

It’s been a long time, since I could make that proclamation, and, I’m betting, given our near drought-like conditions, no one was shouting that children’s chant “rain, rain, go away – come again another day!” First, we had that torrential … Continue reading →

It may be hard to beleave but …

… some of the trees are starting to turn color and I’ve seen leaves already littering the ground. A few of the maple trees on my walking route have tinges of red already.  I must admit I did a double-take … Continue reading →

Thrills and spills, but …

… no chills. Today I threw in the towel and stayed indoors again – it was just too hot for me. I must admit to being a wienie in deciding that the air-conditioned house was more of a draw than … Continue reading →

Draggin’ my wagon.

I took a break on Friday from walking due to this relentless heat and humidity, but, I was back at it again this morning. I guess I’m just like the rabbit trying to catch up to that elusive carrot since … Continue reading →

Good day sunshine?

It seems that the full moon and Mr. Sun have been boasting to one another about their brilliance this week. The Hay Moon was an appropriate name for that nighttime orb since most of our grass looks like hay right … Continue reading →

Footsteps at the footbridge.

The way I see it, today and tomorrow, will be tolerable for walking and the rest of the week will be like being in a sauna. I pity the people who work outside on hot days.  They must get used … Continue reading →
