Art Sturge: 92 years old today!
My Poppy Sturge is 92 years old today. I’m very fortunate because both of my maternal grandparents are still alive (shout out to Nanny Sturge!).
So many people know Art Sturge – from pretty much every corner of Newfoundland and Labrador. He’s had some interesting jobs over the years and I’ve always enjoyed hearing his stories.
Hey look Sheila! I found your brush.
So few updates, yet so much to say if I could just find the time… Ah well, no point dwelling on what has or hasn’t happened.
Monday was the Mid-March Holiday (aka St. Patrick’s Day), but it was also a day where a huge snowstorm hit many parts of the province.
Some of the folks online were insisting that Monday’s storm was Sheila’s Brush. Some voices online felt otherwise. I didn’t really care what it was called, beyond “OMG 30+ cm of snow?!”
Yesterday I saw a post where someone was asking about breakfast ideas on one of the Facebook groups where I’m a member. Some of the suggestions were the usual peanut butter on toast with banana, which is a regular staple for me. But then I saw someone mention they wanted to get a breakfast sandwich machine…
Wait, what?!?!
I mentioned last year that today is now known as Star Wars Day because it’s the fourth day of May, so anyone with even an ounce of geekiness or sci-fi love for Star Wars has likely been wishing people “May the fourth be with you.”
Get it? May the fourth… May the FORCE be with you?
But before it was Star Wars Day, this day has otherwise been significant to me because it’s my Dad’s birthday!
So happy birthday Dad! And Missy Moo is hoping her poppy has had a great day. It was wonderful to celebrate with you this evening.
Missy Moo really didn’t want to sit still… big surprise.
After a few attempts, I managed to get one where she’s in focus.

The second half of this post’s title is of course from this song, by 50 Cent. There are two reasons for that title.
