So this is it.
The end of Kathy's February blogger challenge: 29 posts in 29 days.
I knew it was going to be a difficult challenge. I had a lot on my plate in February, but I managed to pull it off.
If you are inclined to see all 29 of my responses to Kathy's devilish prompts, you can click here for the February 1 to 6 responses, click here for responses 7 to 15, and click here to see 16 through 28. I have added links below each response to the other participating bloggers' takes on the same topic.
I decided to save a stand-alone post for the last response. I'm glad it's over, but kind of sad to pen the last response.
My responses revealed my character in significant ways, in the way that Chuck Close's hundreds and hundreds of tiny abstracts yield a portrait once you back off enough. If you've never experienced his work, I encourage you to seek it out, or click here to see some examples online (but it's not the same experience as seeing it in a museum).
Kathy's last prompt is...

Kathy (ToadMama) published what she is calling her Brave, Bold Blogger Challenge. It's simple, a challenge that's a little crazy, and potentially demanding, but that is turning ought to be a whole lot of fun and very revealing for the participating bloggers.

A Friday to forget
While I was struggling unsuccessfully to get to Tampa last Friday, Susan was having an equally bad, awful, difficult day.
She pulled into the garage at home and when she got out of the car, she heard a really loud hissing sound.

2016 Blogger to Blogger Tour - Meeting legends
Those of you who are perspicacious will have noticed that I indulged in a little time travel. I not only caught up on Kathy's BBBC, I managed to go all the way out to February 22.
The reason is simple.

Operation Empty Nest - The Great 2016 Real Estate War
The end is in sight for the crossroads period of my life. March 30, 2016. That's when we pull up roots and begin a new life in Toronto.
All the conditions for the sale of our Montreal home, and the purchase of our Toronto home, have been satisfied. Now it's all about wrapping up the basement renovation and packing. The renovation began before the offer to purchase our Montreal home came in, so we're committed to completing it. Now it's just a question of getting the paint out of the cans and onto the walls without making a mess of the floors.

Operation Empty Nest - Vignettes from behind the lines
If you've been reading the instalments of my life for the past six months or so, you've noticed the not so subtle military undertone colouring my ramblings.

Hum a happy tune, move like a hillbilly
The final conditions were waived at last. We're free to shop!
A last pre-shopping challenge.
Our son has offered his now semi-homeless parents a room at the inn. There's a queen-size bed, but... wait for it... no mattress.

Big Move to the Big Smoke (and mirrors)
I know why it's a Big Move, but I have no clue why it's the Big Smoke,
and I have no inclination to Google it. We already have enough dim views
of Toronto as a new place to call home, that adding one more is a bad idea.

Bright, bright lights on a waning winter's day
Time passes. Memories fade.
That may be the most poignant fact of our lives.
