Life – Sandy McFadden

❤️ Web

I’m a big fan of the web. Have been for over 30 years. Though I didn’t have access to my own computer, or the internet, until the late 1990’s I still remember the first time going online. It was 1999 when I really became hooked. I was helping people at work get online and spendingContinue reading “❤️ Web”

Unseen influence, unspoken thanks

As I was sitting in a rural high school gym yesterday I found myself reminiscing about my own youth. It wasn’t for a typical reason you might think of for a middle aged man watching high school students play volleyball. Despite liking sports and even once walked into a tryout to play for my highContinue reading “Unseen influence, unspoken thanks”

Ezra

Jen told me from early on in our relationship that she would like to have ten children, while I told her I’d be happy with three. Like most things in our life we compromised, though she keeps getting closer to her number 😃 This past year has been yet another of ups, downs, and surprises,Continue reading “Ezra”

Discovery Centre in Halifax

The first week after Christmas break seemed long for all of us. So, we all decided we needed a day of fun to help us make it through the coming week. Aunt Tiffany gave us a the great idea of heading into Halifax and going to the Discovery Centre. We got in touch with theContinue reading “Discovery Centre in Halifax”

Merry Christmas Everyone

Once again another year has gone by and it is Christmas time again. I’ve always truly enjoyed Christmas, even though at times I might act like Scrooge. The commercialization of Christmas and a lot of peoples attitudes really turn me off throughout the year. Obviously we all know that presents and the more, bigger, andContinue reading “Merry Christmas Everyone”

Canadian Political Mess

Let me start by saying that by no means am I loyal to one political party in Canada. In fact, in the last three elections I have voted for three different parties. This current situation, which our elected leaders are putting us in, is completely ridiculous and just causes me to feel more anger towardsContinue reading “Canadian Political Mess”

Having Some Autumn Fun

A lot of the time I have a hard time deciding what my favorite season is. Well winter is certainly out of the running but the other three all have their strong points.Spring means the end of winter, that in itself makes it a great season. But also things start getting so green, and everythingContinue reading “Having Some Autumn Fun”

September Birthdays

The end of September is always a busy month for birthdays. Alex turned nine this year on September 27, and Caile turned four on the 30th. This year they both chose that they wanted to have their party at Roo’s Playhouse in the Greenwood Mall. So for the first time we decided to throw justContinue reading “September Birthdays”

Tonsils, Dancing and Computer Troubles

Now there is a blog title you don’t see everyday, but that has been our last week or so. Finally, on September 9th Alex went in and had her tonsils removed. She did a great job, was very brave, and is recovering very well. She was into the hospital for 7:30 in the morning, intoContinue reading “Tonsils, Dancing and Computer Troubles”

OurValley.ca

Somewhere around December 2006 I came up with the idea that I should create a website dedicated to the Annapolis Valley. For me and obviously many other people the first place you go when you are looking for information is the internet. When it came to looking up things about the Valley, they either could notContinue reading “OurValley.ca”
