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

Let me tell you ‘bout …

… the birds, and the bees, and the flowers and the trees. They were all in Spring mode … until today.  Now they are all in disbelief about this weather, as am I.  I think this wacky weather is the … Continue reading →

T.G.I.F. – but it was Friday the 13th.

I was reluctant to even tread outside on this Friday the 13th … after all, in the last month, it seems as if everything has had a mind of its own and has been behaving badly. First, it was the … Continue reading →

Loosey-Goosies.

Sometimes you can’t win for losin’. Last weekend I went to Council Point Park hoping to get a few warm and fuzzy photos of Canada Geese and their goslings, but I saw none. Today, I was taking the car for … Continue reading →

Monikers for Mom.

It’s a spectacular Sunday … just perfect for all the moms out there. While it would have been preferable to get my miles walked in the great outdoors, I needed to go grocery shopping, so I killed two birds with … Continue reading →

Ramblin’ and amblin’ on a Saturday morn.

It was a perfect May morning, and I scurried out the door posthaste just in case those predicted storms arrived sooner rather than later. Apparently everyone else in Lincoln Park had the same idea. As I rounded the corner near … Continue reading →

A feel-good Friday …

It’s finally Friday and the weather made it a kick-up-your-heels kind of day. I decided Mother Nature definitely deserved an “atta girl”, though I may have to take it back in the coming week. The morning was just perfect, and, … Continue reading →

Spring may finally be gettin’ here … now that it’s May.

Spring continues to load – slowly, very slowly. Nearly all the trees are out, but there is a cold and damp chill in the air in the early a.m. I counted on a long walk this morning, so I set … Continue reading →

Tuesday musings.

Sometimes good things come to those who wait. Like me for instance. I am not a big fan of Mother Nature right now. She’d get a “F” for fail in the sunshine department first of all for the last few … Continue reading →

Mother Nature had fun Photoshopping this morning.

Sometimes I catch Mother Nature in the act … she waves her magic wand and creates beauty from the mundane right before my very eyes. And, on this humdrum Friday, she was truly an artist extraordinaire. I peeked out the … Continue reading →

Twist and shout.

Mother Nature was not kind to the walkers this early morn. So, there I sat, in the kitchen, nursing my first cup of joe and listening to the national news.  Hmmm, so now there’s a new twist in the presidential … Continue reading →
