A bittersweet day … a day of contemplation, thinking about my Dad and the lessons he taught me. Father’s Day. Dreaming of my Brother. Gone from us today for 23 years. He is so dearly missed. An Anniversary. Both tremendous male influences in my life. Without them both, I would not be nearly the brave…
Verona, within a historic region of Eastern Ontario, has a population of about 1,800. It lies at the southern edge of the Canadian Shield, where the friendly mix of farmland, rocky-shored lakes, and mixed woodland make it the ideal place to visit with our Airstream. It kind of feels like cottage country, and with Verona…
With my Father heading south of the border for the day, my older sister and nephew had the urge to go to Marineland with Forrester’s friend Ryan. So if we wanted to spend the day visiting with my oft-not-visited family, it meant going against all my urges of supporting a Zoo (of sorts), that housed…
My family came to visit us at Skydive Burnaby on Tuesday morning.

Today was just another day in the world of sKY and slaDE in our life on the road. We planned to do some shopping at the Airstream store and then try to get away at a decent hour so that we could bypass traffic in Toledo and Detroit. But before our departure, slaDE wanted to…
Within a months time span, slaDE and I have been blessed twice with the company of my Father w/hen he made a cross-country truck trip from home — Ontario. On Dad’s first visit, I was very tempted to travel back home with him. I’m feeling a bit homesick and weary of the Calgary winter, longing…
It was a fabulous weekend for family … Bill celebrated his 84th birthday and my Father came to town on Sunday night.
