Welcome to White Cane Connections.

My name is Sue Boman. Yes, that’s me in the picture posted here. I have called this blog White Cane Connections because I am one of the many people who use a white cane. I began this blog because I wanted to write about a project I undertook in 2012. The plan was to complete a series of walks using my white cane. Between March and September, I walked in 82 different locations across Canada. So, the blog begins by telling of my experiences and the many people I met along the way.

While this particular journey has now been completed, I find that I still have much to write about. I am continuing to make new white cane connections, and so for the time being I will continue to add regular posts to this blog. I am hoping that you will be a partner in the journey.

August 25 - Counting My Blessings


What a great summer this has been for us! From the beginning of June onwards, Lyle and I have been able to spend a huge amount of time with both our grandchildren. This has meant a lot of driving for Lyle although we did fly to PEI when we met our Calgary family there. I am just counting my blessings that we have two such wonderful grandchildren and that we are fortunate enough to have the time and resources to see them as much as we do.

What does this post have to do with White Cane Connections, you might ask. Well, I suppose not too too much. I think that what I would like to say is that we all have challenges in our lives – some more so than others – but hopefully we can also look for the blessings and be grateful. I know that our grandchildren fall into that category for us

There are two pictures with this post.  The first is of our granddaughter, Lexi. It was taken in a vineyard in B.C. The second picture is of Lyle, our son, and grandson. It was taken at a campground in Winnipeg.

Lyle and I are counting our blessings!
