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

Elvis.

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Linda Schaub

Garden flags are here, there and everywhere. No matter the neighborhood locale, garden flags seem to be more popular every year and nearly each home has one displayed in the front yard. What probably began as inexpensive yard art a … Continue reading →

Mouseketeers.

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Linda Schaub

Back in the day I was a big fan of “The Mickey Mouse Club” – I even had my own pair of Mouseketeer ears I donned while watching the show. In later years I never lost my fondness for Mickey … Continue reading →

T.M.I., or “too much information”, happens alot these days. It is a phenomenon, mostly found on social media, where people just chatter on and on about themselves just a wee bit too much. Once that chatter is out there on … Continue reading →

Sadie.

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Linda Schaub

I’ve had an earworm the last few days … “Blame It on the Bossa Nova” keeps playing in my head. As you may have heard, Eydie Gormé passed away over the weekend. Each time the national news reported on her … Continue reading →

Conflicted.

Posted on August 11, 2013 by Linda Schaub

I’m somewhat conflicted. I’m vacillating between being responsible versus being irresponsible. Well, here’s my confession. You’ll hear it once so I get it off my chest. If a day in my life was divided up like a pie chart, I … Continue reading →

Creatures.

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Linda Schaub

What is normally a sedate stroll from my house to Council Point Park, instead was filled with ferocity today causing me to beat a somewhat hasty path along the subdivision sidewalks. I had MY early a.m. cup of java so … Continue reading →

Breezy.

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Linda Schaub

I stepped out the door to embark on a walk with 20 mph wind gusting this morning. I was prepared though; I stuck some cotton in my ears so the wind would not travel in one ear and out the … Continue reading →
