I put up a trampoline today.  My fingers ache with all 72 springs I had to  install and then uninstall to put on the safety net. And then put them all back on again.  But there’s no other way to do it. Anyway, can’t wait 4 months from now when I have to reverse the… Read More »

I can now big from my Android.  Prepare for spur of the moment drabble!  I can even add photos

After blabbing about the kids and their chocolate massacre, I must say I also had quite the treat. Every so often, the Masters is held on Easter weekend. As a result, I was able to watch an un-godly amount of golf this weekend and am very grateful for that. It was a top 10 Masters… Read More »

The kids had a windfall of stuff this year. I know I’m over-eggs-agerating here but I just had to mention that over the weekend, we were involved in 3 egghunts and what I would classify as a 4th one at church. I like the notion of the egg hunt as a vehicle for delivering the… Read More »

I’m still whipping up some experiences from our 2nd trip to Sandos Carocal. But I gotta give a nod to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The resort has a multitude of approx 2 feet ebony Mayan carved statues of little pigs scattered throughout the property. Christien started noticing them one day and exclaimed whilst… Read More »

Even with the mild winter we are having here in the south of the province, it is still time for the winter classic Wonderboy. It is the 14th annual and my 9th consecutive. It’s like going to see an old friend. The house is set up the same, the people are for the most part… Read More »

On Sunday morning the car wouldn’t start. Missed out on Sonia playing piano and/or Christien’s first sports class. On Sunday afternoon the sump pump died. Total cost: 500. Total value: priceless.

We took the kids to Disney Live last Fri night. It’s the 2nd time for Olivia and the 1st for Christien. Both were enthralled. Olivia dressed up as Snow White as did many other little girls. The ratio of girls to boys had to have been around 20-1. That’s because the theme of this performance… Read More »

We dropped the kids off at the grandparents and did some night skiing at Chicopee last night. Actually used one of those Treasures 2-for-1 coupons so it cost us only 33 dollars to ski for 2hrs. Because it was relatively cheap we were not desperate to get in as many runs as possible. With the… Read More »
