SlaDE~s early morning delivery of Dad’s truck to the other farm gave me the opportunity to take a walk down memory lane. Or should I say, a stroll down recollection road, as adopted by my Father, in remembrance of my brother Kenny, who passed away 18 years ago this past June (on Father’s Day). ‘Kenny’s…
It’s that time of year again … Time to get together early for Christmas because sKY is ready to go off on another winter adventure (usually into the warmth and sun somewhere in this world). However, this year is a bit different …. A few important factors have changed. Both Aaron, my sister, and David,…
Okay, here we go again. Packing up to move. Exciting indeed. I do love change and all that it entails. However, with all the moving that I’ve done in the past, you would think that I’d have this down pat. Guess again …. How on earth does one accumulate so much stuff?? Ok, ok, I…
I love it when a joint idea evolves into a plan, and that plan emerges into something beautiful. Such was our evening tonight. My day started out bright and full of energy after attending my last exercise class at the St Jacobs Community Health Centre. I’ve only managed to go to 3 classes, but it’s…
When your eyes are tired The world is tired also. When your vision has gone No part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark Where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love … Sometimes it takes darkness and the…
Joy and I enjoyed a lovely leisurely walk down the country lanes and roads of Hawkesville. I truly enjoy our jaunts; Joy is ever so patient and understanding when I erratically stop mid-sentence to capture that perfect picture. She noticed from day one that I have the eye of a quality photographer … I just…
Slade was my hero today … despite the lack of sleep and his desire to lie in bed (for in at least 1 day of this week), he opted for the pull of a 1/2 day of overtime, traveling all the way to Hamilton. Our burgeoning dream of travel in a truck and trailer spurs…
A day of remembrance. The 11th day, at the 11th hour, the 11th minute … I hung my head in emotional meditation and commemoration, recognizing and paying homage to those that have lost their lives, making the ultimate sacrifice for their country and people. I feel embarrassed at my own shortcomings, noting their acts of…
What a great morning … teaching Ms Daisy about the joys of podcasts (science/anatomy lessons on demand. Inspiring!) and just spending quality time with my amazing girlfriend (superMom, Nutritionist, skydiver, schedule juggler, student extraordinaire). Her twin daughters received iPods for their birthdays, and rather than have Daisy research the music device’s capabilities on the internet, I thought…
It’s been a quiet year of travel, stateside, for both slaDE and myself … Last year, we were over there almost every weekend, skydiving of course. However, today’s gathering was to celebrate the upcoming birth of Michael Anthony, son of Lisa (Whitmire) and Mike Maly. It’s has been absolute ages since I’ve been to a…
