The walls are finally going up at my children’s school this week. Yesterday I counted twelve construction works on the site. There might have been twelve visible on the site all summer if all the daily sightings were added together! Here are two pictures of the hardest hit street in my neighbourhood during the iceContinue reading “School Construction, Ice Storm Comparison and Climbing”

Friday September 5 – Ice Storm Update
Ice storm clean-up continues in Brampton. Many damaged trees have yet to be cut down, let alone having their roots removed. Who know when re-planting will begin. We were fortunate as we have no ash trees which were the most damaged trees due to being compromised by the emerald ash borer. Most of those treesContinue reading “Friday September 5 – Ice Storm Update”

Wednesday September 3 – School, Power Outage and Climbing

To keep the children safe from moving construction vehicles long parallel fences were set up from the road to the back of the school whereContinue reading “Wednesday September 3 – School, Power Outage and Climbing”
Friday August 29 – Final Day of Golf Camp
Parents were invited to come an hour early for pickup today so they could see their children putt and chip and to have a buffet lunch. Owen enjoyed his week at golf camp. He was especially excited that lunches were included. It was a beautiful day to be out on the course. Blue skies withContinue reading “Friday August 29 – Final Day of Golf Camp”

Trystan and Owen started back to school today. Alun just had to go in to have his picture taken and to pick up his timetable. Megan did that last week. It was back to elementary school for Trystan. When we opened our front door this morning Owen’s friend Emma was walking by with her mother.Continue reading “Tuesday September 2 – First Day of School”

Today we went to Wild Water Kingdom for the final time this summer. The adults hung out at Caribbean Cove for a bit and then Michael and I took a revolution around the Lazy River. Boy was it lazy this morning. Joe and Michael went to the driving range next to Wild Water Kingdom. TheContinue reading “Sunday September 1 – Last Day of the Season”
