London, a story in the making

by Pam Sievers 17 Comments

As soon as I began talking to Mina, I knew my cast of characters was complete. An Iranian born architect now working in Toronto, she was the perfect person to design the house with the secret room that led to a hidden passageway. How serendipitous that we shared a bench and began talking while waiting for our tour of the Tower of London, two days before our trip ended. I already had Irina, the Bulgarian beauty who greeted every guest at our hotel with her mile-wide smile. She monitored the Continue Reading

“Today’s rain is tomorrow’s whiskey”

If they gave awards for the country’s best, Scotland would win the following: Our Scottish holiday started with the beat of a bass drum leading a 45-member pipe band in their colorful red and black kilts in the 2023 Pipe Band World Championships. It was quite by accident that we discovered this was happening in Glasgow after we landed there for our two-day rest between the end of our Ireland tour and the beginning of our Scotland tour. But we snapped up two tickets to the Friday Continue Reading

What I’ll remember most about Ireland

by Pam Sievers 20 Comments

When someone mentions Ireland, what do you think of? Green countryside? Red-hair? Celtic dancers? Potatoes? I’ve just completed a 14 day trip with CIE Tours that included Northern Ireland in addition to the Republic of Ireland and what will I recall the most? The storytelling and humor, no question.

My friend, Karen, gets up at 5:00 a.m. to drive her dog to a patch of grass two miles away. He does his business, then runs around like crazy for a few minutes. The rocks and sidewalk around her house are already too hot for his feet. At 5:30 a.m., Kathy leaves the house in the golf cart for a 6:07 tee time. Her cooler is stocked with sports drinks. I hear the neighbor’s outdoor workmen who begin 6:00 a.m.. By 7:00 a.m., I’m grocery shopping. I smooth out the reflective screen across Continue Reading

Welcome to my website!


Welcome to my website where my goal was to fill the pages with writing that induces gut wrenching laughs. Since I have no spouse, in-laws, children, grandchildren or pets, I have to work a whole lot harder than most humor writers. Hence, instead you’ll find a blog that features travel, contemplative reflections, and of course some humor – you can’t embrace middle age without it. When not writing, I enjoy quilting, learning about other cultures, and living in the Arizona desert.
