  I AM lucky……


I recently received a nice message on FB from a former family member (ex wife of my cousin). She had just finished viewing our vacation pictures and said what a beautiful family I had and how lucky I was.
Lucky - me?? Who couldn’t squeeze luck out of horseshoe if it hit me in the face. […]

  Back to reality


Here I sit, on a Sunday night - dreading going back to work after a week of holidays. Sadly - tomorrow means back to the bump and grind - back to reality -

  30 equals camping???


Well I managed to pull it off. Gord turned 30 this past Friday and had no clue that I had planned a weekend camping trip. The irony however was that we both called his boss and asked for the same day off for him. So, he knew he was off, didn’t know I was off […]

  The mini get away……


It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day, but I have to admit I’m a tad jealous.
Last weekend we were fortunate enough to get away for the long weekend to a beautiful cottage in the Ipperwash area. The weather was garbage though, if it wasn’t raining, it was cold and dreary and trips to the […]

  Back to Basics


Sometimes it takes the simplest things to take you back to really what is important.
The past few days have been an emotional roller coaster. My thoughts have been this jumbled cloud racing through my mind. Trying to make sense out of things that really don’t make any, trying not to take let hurtful comments get […]

  A little sponge…..


I have to admit I LOVE the age Myles is at. He is such a little sponge, picking up so many new things I often find myself saying *where did he learn that*, or he just has us in plain stitches over some of things that just come rolling out of him.
