December 19, 2012 – An Unexpected Journey So there we were, sitting around minding our own business, when Kelly and Cheryl called up wanting to know if we would like to go on a driving adventure northwards. After a millisecond to consider it, we said “yes!” and an hour later we were all packed up […]
December 15, 2012 – Horseshoes on the Beach We’ve had invites several times to go a-horseshoeing, but we’ve just been too darn busy nest-building. But now we’re not, so it’s time to see what this is all about. Deb is off doing Pilates but intends to join up as soon as she’s done, so I

December 8, 2012 Woo Hoo! Touchdown! Well, we survived another trip to Mexico without any major foo-foos. Got to the Westjet counter at 04:51 because we wanted to be first in line with all our extra bags, and we were. The very nice lady at the counter tried about 20 times to print out our
December 4, 2012 – the trailblazer is no more Yesterday, a nice man came and took the Trailblazer away. Well, actually, I had to drive it to Vernon for him, but it sounds better the first way. It’s going into semi-retirement, as he will be parking it at his lakeside cottage in Ontario, and it
December 3, 2012 – Four More Sleeps I’m just checking to see if this is the site we want to use for our 2012 trip. So far, it appears to be pretty good! We had our Strata Christmas Party last night, and it was pretty cool. Everyone here is friendly and helpful, and it really
