We’re under constant renovation here, and when dear hubby removed a bit of baseboard in what used to be the kitchen, he uncovered a stash of lost mail. I had to laugh out loud – with licensing being a bit of a hot topic right now. So, there you go. In 1956 in Etobicoke, you [...]
Wow, I can’t believe it’s March already. I never thought I would make it! It’s been a year, ONE WHOLE YEAR, since I sold my car. Can I get a pat on the back please? I’m not going to lie, I still make use of the truck sometimes, but only on weekends, and only about [...]
It’s getting chilly out there. And I don’t have anything to wear. Well, that’s not strictly true. Like any good Canuck I have my share of gloves and coats and earwarmers.
