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

Dream.

Judging from last evening’s heavy rain, I suspected this might be a stay-in-the-house morning. Now I am certainly not made of sugar and won’t melt if I venture out in this rather sultry clime. I clapped on my radio headphones … Continue reading →

Ballerina.

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Linda Schaub

The sun was high in the sky and as I rounded the corner, I was nearly blinded by a glaring light which bounced off my glasses. The object was shiny and the sun refracted from it. After taking a few … Continue reading →

Karma.

Posted on August 25, 2013 by Linda Schaub

It was a disconcerting morning today – some bad karma going on. I got up early with my destination of Council Point Park since I was having withdrawal symptoms … three days since I’d last been there. Well the first … Continue reading →

Conundrum.

Posted on August 24, 2013 by Linda Schaub

Bobblehead.

Well Miggy has one commemorating his Triple Crown victory last year. JV and Prince have their own. Some of the Red Wings have ‘em too, and now that our Lions whooped the Patriots 40-9 last night, perhaps we should make … Continue reading →

Hmmmmmmmm.

Posted on August 22, 2013 by Linda Schaub

On the inside looking out this morning since rain has thwarted my walking efforts. While I enjoy my daily walk, I could not muster any enthusiasm to walk in the rain in the 83% humidity. Did it rain last night … Continue reading →

Mary.

Posted on August 21, 2013 by Linda Schaub

Mary, Mary, quite contrary – how does your garden grow? On this morning’s walk, I passed a gorgeous group of pale pink shrub roses which lined the entire edge of a chain-link fence. The roses grew so abundantly on either … Continue reading →

Lemonade.

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Linda Schaub
