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.

October 8 - Happy Thanksgiving

Last Thanksgiving, Lyle and I ate our Thanksgiving dinner out on our back deck. Our family from Calgary had come for the weekend. Because of the restrictions that were in place at the time, Lyle and I camped in our motor home on our driveway and our kids stayed in the house. We ate all of our meals outside. That included the turkey dinner. Fortunately, our daughter and son-in-law are very adept in the kitchen and Lyle and I simply waited outside at our separate table waiting to be served. Fortunately also, the weather was mild, although I seem to recall that we were wearing our jackets while we ate. None of us dreamed that there could be a similar situation one year later.

Still, here we are again! At least this year the adults are all vaccinated. We will continue to be cautious and to look for responsible ways to celebrate Thanksgiving 2021.

My best wishes to all of you for a happy, safe and healthy Thanksgiving weekend.
