My New Ride

Check out my new ride!  The minivan is on its last legs, ... er wheels, and I need a reliable vehicle to get me to school every day. So, after logging a few kms on it this summer, I gave it a wee clean-out.  Here I am, taking care of my ride.

Here's J, taking care of his ride.

He power washed it, and marvelled at how clean the wheels are, then polished it off in the garage.  Pride of ownership.  He is the primary mower, after all.

Summer 2013 - The Bruce Peninsula Adventure

Eating doughnuts in Goderich, playing on the beach at Port Elgin, eating ice cream, slathering sunscreen, climbing at the Grotto on the Bruce peninsula, playing guitar around the fire, posing at the renovated courthouse in Goderich ... and best of all, visiting with some friends at their awesome cottage.

Summer 2013 - Adventure in Ottawa

The Parliament buildings!  The Canadian War Museum! The Museum of Civilization!  Maurice the Rocket Richard!  It doesn't get any better than all this greatness ... but, wait! It did.  Dinner and ice cream with Binkys was spectacular and a really nice way to enjoy our nation's capital.  Merci, mes amis.

And now:  a series of arty photos with things coming out of our heads!

Summer 2013 - Adventure in Niagara Falls

It had been many years since we visited Niagara Falls and it had hardly changed at all. Clifton Hill was jam-packed with tourists, the Maid of the Mist was exhilaratingly misty, Brock's Monument was impressively grand.  And hanging out with the family-gang was, as ever, so enjoyable! 

Pinky McPinkster

Wow! The saying goes "Pink sky at night, teacher's delight!"
Umm, doesn't it?  The countdown to a new school year has begun:  11 days.
