‘That’s cool:’ Argyle Street launches weekend closures with Halifax block party

This is very cool project. I’m looking forward to getting in and seeing what they’ve done on Argyle St.

Trip to the Park, Sort of

Plans don’t always work out the way you intend. The rest of my family had plans to go to Hennigars Farm Market today. They were going to have a little treasure hunt for the kids and feed the animals they have. Last minute I realized they were getting ready to leave just shortly before IContinue reading “Trip to the Park, Sort of”

Hodge Podge

Last night for supper Jen made hodge podge. This has to be one of my all time favourite things to eat. It’s a local dish could convince me to become a vegetarian. Usually a fall tradition when the vegetable harvest comes in but really the main thing is having fresh baby vegetables. We were ableContinue reading “Hodge Podge”

Morning Run Picture

It was a beautiful morning, perfect for running. I pushed it and managed a 5K with only one short walking break and long enough to snap this picture. Did it with a pace of 6:48 min/km.

First Date – Wolfville Reservoir Park

We took the kids swimming at the Wolfville Reservoir Park recently. This is one of my favourite places in the world. Not only does it have a nice walking trail and a mountain bike course, but it also has a swimming area and an amazing view over the Minas Basin to Cape Blomidon. Even withContinue reading “First Date – Wolfville Reservoir Park”

As Fresh as it Gets

Tonight we are having peas from our own garden in our supper. I had no idea they were even ready yet. A couple days ago they were getting close but I thought they still had a while yet. Jen came in with some earlier and I was shocked. Now I’m hiding outside eating a fewContinue reading “As Fresh as it Gets”

Opposite Morning

This morning I had one awesome view down at the marsh. The most rising up like a dog and the ducks swimming around. Not another soul around. Then I came home and was taking the garbage to the road. I opened the shed and there was a huge spider standing in the door way notContinue reading “Opposite Morning”

Fitbit vs Pebble

For quite a while now I’ve really enjoyed my first generation Pebble watch. Right before we went on vacation the strap broke on it. I picked up a new strap but I couldn’t find one the right size so I choose the closest I could find. It was 20mm when it really should be 22mm.Continue reading “Fitbit vs Pebble”

Reflecting on Vacation

While on vacation for the most part we kept really busy. Even when we had down time when driving a lot of it was either driving or navigating. There was also a lot of talking and planning that took place on the drives. For me I got up early before everyone else, grabbed some coffee,Continue reading “Reflecting on Vacation”

Day three – NYC

We spent yesterday in New York City! We booked our hotel in Stamford CT and took the train from there into Grand Central. It was the kids first time in a train and it was a great way to get into the city. Once in we wandered around a bit. Went into Time Square toContinue reading “Day three – NYC”
