See the fancy new tires on our Bicycle Built For Two? So here’s how they got there: As I promised I went to the bike store, credit card in hand, but instead of getting them to fix it, I asked for some advice (not often I do that). Turns out I do know how to…

High Ranking Websites
I was on a web site the other day called Alexa. It’s claim to fame is that it ranks other websites. For example Yahoo is the most popular, so it’s number ONE. What’s Amazing Vanstones you ask? We rank number 229,545,646. Boy does that put you in your place. Every time another 230 million people…
Saturday Night Date
Saturday Night Mar and I went down to the Marina, sat on the patio and had a great meal, a good bottle of wine and reunited after many weeks of making the big move to the coach. As of dinner last night we are officially done. No more talk, now it’s for real. We are homeless, No…
What A Talented Guy!
I have problems with tools. Most tools in my hands draw blood. My blood. Give me a hammer, pliers, even a screwdriver and odds are I’m going to be bleeding somewhere before long. Marilyn always has a good selection of band aids at the ready. There are a few tools I’m OK with; I…
Looks Like It’s All Done
See the cat offering free birdseed? He was a gift from our friends Garth and Lee when we bought our townhouse in Grimsby and he hung right next to our front door all the time we called the place home. Yesterday he appeared on the post in front of our RV site. I would say…
Hail Of A Storm

It tore the topper awning off our one slides. Wednesday Morning, so 10 hours later after a 20 degree…
Fun Folk, Fun Food
Here’s a neat story: In the process of doing her job, Marilyn deals on the phone with a gal named Darlene at the bank pretty much every day. Over the past couple of years they have got to be pretty good friends, I’m sure they’ve had a few “girl chats” and I know they have…
Lot’s To Look Forward To
As our friendly neighborhood website here nears the 1200 readers mark, Alexa, a website that tracks websites says that this very website, the amazing Vanstones, is the 22,359,3425th most popular website in the whole world. Now shooting for number One might be pushing it a bit but just imagine the possibilities, imagine If we could…
Nice Toilet!
Actually, I didn’t do this to show off our toilet, as lovely as it is. The point of this post is more about the size of the room the toilet sits in. Now I’m not a big man but if you measure up the distance from the toilet to the wall on either side you…
