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

This season has me both freezin’ and sneezin’.

What I mean to say, is that on this last day of Winter, to be freezing and sneezing at airborne pollen at the same time, is a clear conflict of interest. It seems impossible that tomorrow is the first day … Continue reading

Tuesday musings.

First, our soggy Sunday brought us one inch of rain, and now the grass has greened up nicely and even grown a bit… in fact, just a little too quickly. Then, there was yesterday … and, it was Monday to … Continue reading

Feelin’ Spring-y.

To me, today felt like Spring. Sure, those warmish days in February and March were welcome, but, to me, they seemed unnatural, and even a little surreal – for Michigan anyway. Today was a different story – the weather felt … Continue reading

Well, I’ve collected a few thoughts since I last wrote in this forum, so I thought I’d jam ‘em all together in today’s post and label it “Tuesday Musings”. I finally got to take a walk this morning, but I … Continue reading

Treks and tracks.

Well, there are treks, and there are trudges … A trek, to me, is an adventure, whether I am heading down to the marina in Ecorse, or enjoying the nature nook at Council Point Park, or, maybe just tripping along … Continue reading

A little bit of March madness …

I detect a little March madness in the air, even though college basketball’s annual rite of Spring is a few weeks away. Last night, I was lamenting over the weather when I set the alarm just before I hopped into … Continue reading
