The reason that I continue to write under the title Mining Towns in Canada is because that period of time was the genesis.
If you have been a littlepatti reader, you have met Mary and have come to know her as the lovely person she was.
Even so, she had her moments…with three children to chase after, sometimes, she was understandably at her wit’s end!
On one of those days she exclaimed “I’m going to run away to a deserted island!”
… “but you will take us, won’t you”? I asked. And being Mary, she replied “Yes, of course” and she had a good laugh about that one.
I couldn’t help but try to imagine a “Dessert Island!”
