A decadent weekend of quiet solitude with my girlfriend Jen left me excited about reuniting with my sexy husband. Distance has definitely made my heart grown fonder. The weather was sour and wet, which meant that the prospect of offloading the storage space at my Father’s house, in the rain on to an open trailer,…
A drizzly day matching our sniffling noses (mine more from minor allergies to the pets rather than the cold that Jen is suffering from). Nice to have the option to stay warm and dry on a damp tepid morning, visiting and cooking splendid food! As a team, we collaborated on and cooked a succulent vegetarian…
A busy wonderful day spent with Maureen and Ardy: a decadently healthy breakfast fit for a King, slaDE initiating Maureen to the wonders of yogaFLIGHT, passing an hour at The Five Tibetans yoga studio (with the whole place to myself!), lunching at the Atrium in Waterloo with Maureen and her two medical friends, garage sale…
The cubby hole has been put on standby for at least another few days … pressing things to do and important people to see! Dental care was one of the consequential items on our agenda. Alas, after a mediocre cleaning (bah, I’ve been spoiled by my wonderful Calgary Hygienist friends), I was caught in a…
Living on the farm at Dad’s is always a pleasure and a true treat to the senses. Connecting with nature and the beauty that exists within the countryside is surreal and amazingly grounding. Earth Mother at her finest. But I must admit, the tranquility and calm that is normally associated with country living is not…
It was lovely to spend some time today helping out around the property of Mom and Pat’s, creating a clearer and cleaner pathway for spring and summer to arrive. Raking and collecting fallen sticks, spreading wood chips around the plethora of flower beds, cutting grass, filling holes. All contributes to the beautiful landscaped grounds that…
A glorious Mother’s Day tradition is upheld in the Maly family. For many generations now, the boys get up early Sunday morning and head to the Farmer’s Market to buy their beloved Mothers and Spouses a planter of flowers. Although technically I’m a female, I was invited to join the guys on their venture, photographing…
Our intention this weekend wasn’t to jump out of planes, but rather to visit with our dear friends south of the border in New York state. However, we dare not travel without our skydiving gear in case an opportune moment arises and we’re able to leap like the lemmings that we are! Mike Maly was…
It’s been a long winter for most in the Northern hemisphere, a mighty cold season experienced by many. Not so much for us, travelling in the deeper southern climes, but still seasonably long in that it feels like forever since I’ve spent quality time with my best girlfriends and friends. So the weekend ahead of…
So great to spend time with Richard, our Nephew. A tall smart strapping young man with so much potential to his future. Today marks the beginning of our visits with family and friends, now that we’re home north of the border. Sweeet!
