I just haven’t been feeling like blogging lately, but I do want to keep it up for the very reasons I started blogging last summer: I am hoping that by reviewing my day and writing about it, the details will stick in my mind better. Failing that, I’ll be able to refer back to theContinue reading “Winter Getaway – February 1-3, 2015 – Part 2”

Saturday November 1 – Snow Day
The view that greeted me as I stepped out the door this morning brought a smile to my face. I love snow and I am looking forward to a cold, snowy winter so I can enjoy building and maintaining a community ice rink again. I love the sight of my two favourite seasons colliding. It’sContinue reading “Saturday November 1 – Snow Day”
Friday October 3 – Humber College North Campus Visit
Today Megan and I visited the Humber College North Campus. It is one of five campuses that we plan to visit to help Megan decide where to go next year. The campus is quite close to home – only about 15 minutes by car – and easily accessible by public transit. I was surprised toContinue reading “Friday October 3 – Humber College North Campus Visit”
Wednesday, October 15 – Happy Birthday Dad
It is my dad’s 81st birthday on Sunday October 19 so today Lara and I took him out for lunch at Panera Bread in Mississauga. I love their Autumn Squash soup. Over the years I have found it difficult to find a creative gift for my father. It’s not that he is hard to buyContinue reading “Wednesday, October 15 – Happy Birthday Dad”

The day started with wet feet again as we walked on the grass to get around the construction at the school. Once again there were no construction workers in sight. 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”
Day Out in Brampton

We drove to the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood in northwest Brampton which is a planned neighbourhood which includes: a transit hub for GO TransitContinue reading “Day Out in Brampton”
Cars and Bikes
My day started at the garage today. The radio in our van was replaced after it stopped recognizing ipods and phones that were plugged into it. A few months after that it stopped working altogether and made a popping noise every few seconds whether or not the van was turned on. A computer reset fixedContinue reading “Cars and Bikes”
Running Around Again
Owen had two baby teeth, one on each side on the top, that should have been pushed out by the adult teeth but were instead clinging in and pushing his adult teeth out of line. So today the dentist pulled them. Owen appeared quite calm and replied that he wasn’t nervous when asked by theContinue reading “Running Around Again”
A Day out at the AGO
Today Trystan, Owen and I decided to use one of the coupons in the 2014 Fun Pass that the Ontario government provides to schoolchildren in their report cards each year. I don’t think we have ever used one of the coupons before. We drove to Kipling subway station where the north lot was already full.Continue reading “A Day out at the AGO”
