Fall Apples in Ottawa
Since we are in Ottawa this fall, we havn’t had a chance to enjoy the wonderful apples from my mum’s tree in Winnipeg. But we have had our share of yummy free apples here. When the kids returned back to school in September we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the tree right in [...]
Back to Work
When I quit Engineering 10 years ago, I always thought that I would have to go back to school if I decided to go back into an Engineering field. Now I realize that is not the case.
Outdoor School

OC Transpo Family Day Pass
One Sunday a few weeks ago, we hoped on the bus to a friends house. When we paid our bus fair, he gave us a family day pass. Wow I thought, what a great deal, unlimited travel on the bus as a family for one price of $7.50. With the 5 of us, that is [...]

An awesome weekend with friends
This last weekend, our friend Rick call us up to join them at their property on lake Schnarr in Ontario. We jumped at the chance. We have been there every summer and the kids just love hanging out and just playing with their kids. They have no running water or electricity so it is a [...]
