Two drink-related posts in a row means I’m definitely on holidays! (Also had to commemorate that tequila shots were my wife’s idea tonight, not mine!!!) Some years I continue posting while on holidays and some years I don’t and I honestly have no idea if I’ll blog from Mexico or not but either way, hope […]
It’s sort of funny to think about how we’ve flown to the Cancun International Airport a handful of times over the past few years and it’s always the same WestJet flight we take every single year since we go the same week leaving and returning on the same day.
This past week might’ve been the longest non-holiday stretch I’ve gone without posting since I started this blog in 2006. I’ve been very preoccupied with a lot of other stuff so blogging dropped to the bottom of the To Do list. Luckily Saturday night was a long-planned, recurring gathering with friends to keep me distracted […]
Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!
I think Shea and I are going to enjoy having a beautiful green white space outside our back door in our new house!
Shea had a very long day and Pace is both pretty introverted and a stereotypical teenager so it’s hard to get him out of the house at the best of times. That meant Sasha and I had a daddy-daughter date to The Artesian’s “Holiday Sing-a-long” Thursday night which was great fun.
For the last few years, Shea and I have been occasionally “kicking the tires” on houses that caught our eye. We were looking for something a bit bigger, something a bit newer, something a bit more fully featured than the 1977 starter home we bought fifteen years ago. When we went to see another house […]
As part of the process of selling our house, we dug through a box of old files we’ve kept over the years – manuals for appliances, receipts for things we’ve bought for the house, and the original home inspection report we got for our house in 2004. One of the things that stood out having […]
Here’s a pic of me with our realtor’s sign when we sold the condo we owned in Calgary in October 2004 and with the pending move (basically two nights left in our current home!), it’s got me thinking back on other places I’ve laid my head… 0-5 (?) – my parents live in a rental […]
Our realtor had a photographer come to our old/current house today to take photos in preparation for our house being listed later this week and it brought home, perhaps more than any other step, that soon, the house we’ve called a home for fifteen years will likely soon no longer be ours. As excited as […]
