Not so Squished
Canada is 150 years old! Officially the stat holiday is tomorrow, but I was given the Friday off and will be heading back to work tomorrow. Luckily hubs has a flexible schedule, and we still got to spend the long weekend together. The weather hasn't been perfect, but at least it wasn't a washout. On Friday, ...
I just woke up and found out that it’s been stinkin’ hot back home, so I am now extremely concerned about my garden. I am having fears that everything is baked and wilted, based on some comments I have read from others about how the extreme temperature swings have affected their gardens. The Sorrento Food Tour that ...
It has been months of planning, designing, and renovations, but on June 27th, the Pie Commission opened the doors to their downtown location. Our fabulous pies are still being made at our main hub in Etobicoke. This new shop, located at 887 Dundas Street West (Dundas & Claremont), is a pie cafe that serves up ...
We finally arrived in Moab after a five hour drive from Bryce. I’m pretty tired, so I’m guessing hubs must be exhausted since he did the driving, and it wasn’t great weather. I’m not sure what time it was, but the loud booms of thunder made me stir while I was asleep. It must have been ...
What a fabulous post from the Thought Catalog by Almie Rose! You can read the original post, which includes an introduction and some examples of good versus terrible compliments. 10. Have more patience while waiting in lines. My local Vons supermarket is one of the worst places in the entire world. But I have to go there ...
This is what hubby came home to. I was using the vacuum and it sucked up the rope attached to the flash light, and the end of the rope became lodged. When he walked into the room, I was holding the hose exactly like this. Or what if I told you that hubby tends to ...
This week at the farm, I was helping Connor. What a huge difference between his beautiful, lush plot, compared to the plot I've been helping Phil with. I'm not saying it isn't equally enjoyable working the new plot. That is rewarding in a different way. It was just a nice change to be surrounded by ...
This weekend hubby and I participated in our first 2-day bonspiel in Ridgetown, Ontario. For those of you, like me, that haven't previously heard of Ridgetown, it's a small community south-west of London, not far from Chatham. For fellow Canadians that follow curling on TSN, I'm sure you have seen these two Johnny "The Hammer" Chow commercials. Well, ...
Yet *another* thing to practice prior to your next interview. Note: bonus points if you bring your own L-shaped hexagonal wrench-thingy.
Today we drove from Hólmavík, around a number of fjords to reach our hotel in the fishing village of Suðureyri. We actually woke up late because we simply could not get out of bed. I think our bodies were so physically exhausted from all the hiking the day before. I can't recall the last time that ...
