Much of my childhood was spent growing up in a trailer park in rural Nova Scotia. It was very much it’s own little community with all kinds of interesting characters, my family included. One of our neighbors was Melba Green. In many ways she was a stereotypical stay off my lawn kind of seniors. AtContinue reading “Remembering Melba Green”

Family Pictures
Recently we had our family pictures taken by our good friend and photographer Cheryl Fields. Cheryl did a great job. I love being able to capture our family all together every so often. It makes it fun to look back and see how much we have all changed over the years.
So little time, so much work
Currently I’m in my third week of working two jobs and so far things are going pretty well, but I don’t think it’s anything I could handle long term. Working all day then going home and working some more makes for long days. Throw in working close to full days on the weekends as wellContinue reading “So little time, so much work”
Pumpkin Pie
Today is my Mother’s Birthday. One of her, and my, favourite things is pumpkin pie, so that is what she is getting today instead of a birthday cake. I’ve made the pie before but this is the first time I’m doing it while making my own pie crust. Previously I’ve always used store bought crusts andContinue reading “Pumpkin Pie”
New T-Shirt
Ordered this a few weeks ago and it just arrived today. http://instagram.com/p/ttCPTwNjNP/ It is just in time as I have a feeling over the next few weeks this will be even more true than usual. Lots of late nights and long days. So much to learn and do!
Turning Around A Bad Mood
For the last few days I’ve been letting little things, unimportant things, build up and let them get me down. I know full well these things are temporary and are dwarfed by all the great positive things in my life but for some reason let them get to me anyway. Not today! I let themContinue reading “Turning Around A Bad Mood”
Beginning of Autumn
Autumn is my favourite time of the year. September starts out as what I call Birthday Month in my house. Three of my children have birthdays this month and so does my Father-in-law. So we get to start off the best season by celebrating for the whole last of the month. My wife enjoys birthdaysContinue reading “Beginning of Autumn”
Why Didn’t I Say Something?
I was in a great mood, a friend wanted to get together to have coffee so I left work a little early on a Friday afternoon. I went to pick up my oldest from school before heading off to meet and while I was waiting in the parking lot I received a very exciting emailContinue reading “Why Didn’t I Say Something?”
Popcorn For The Show
Earlier in the day my wife was trying to take down a borrowed folding play pen which was used to nap a visiting child. Apparently it didn’t go so well so it was still up when I arrived home from work. I was coming up stairs just as my wife was starting on her secondContinue reading “Popcorn For The Show”
Four Year Old Burn
Yesterday I left work a bit early to meet up with the rest of my family for an ice cream after school. My oldest, in a new school for grade nine this year, was proud to tell me she joined her first extra curricular club. She wanted me to guess what she had joined though.Continue reading “Four Year Old Burn”
