If it’s not over till the fat lady sings then we will be listening closely on June 29 when the deal closes. The deal was that we would move up to a little bigger coach when the house was sold. I think I had better get cracking and find that coach. I can’t say I’m…

Meet Murtle
Yesterday morning we had a visitor. Shortly after 7 Bonnie, our next door neighbor, knocked on our door to announce that we had a vistor in our yard out behind the motorhome. Then she introduced me to Murtle, the Turtle (she found it, she gets to call it whatever she wants). She had done a…
Five Hundred
We have heard about the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500, now there is even a 500 Days of Summer, which pretty much explains our life. But today, I would like to introduce you to the biggest 500 of them all: the AmazingVanstones 500. This is post number 500 and I know there are some of…
Absence
Didn’t someone once say “Absence makes the heart grow fonder?” I’m sure I read that somewhere. It’s true, you haven’t seen me here for 10 days or so. It’s not that I haven’t been here. I stop everyday and check out the “Spanish Word of The Day”, and while I’m there I read the “Daily…
Residente
Residente, pronounced “residantay” is a word that we used regularily in Mazatlan. We used it to differentiate ourselves from “el touristas” for the cheap rate on the water taxis, some restaurants etc. So now, since we soon obviously won’t be living in Grimsby any more, we are to become residentes of 50 Point. Everybody’s gotta be from somewhere…
A New Adventure
Today, the day they put the “For Sale” sign on our townhouse, we signed off on the deal that sold it. We are assured that financing is not an problem, there are basically no other issues. You might ask “What took so long? ” I guess the answer is the right people had to see…
A Wooden Bicycle?
Yesterday we talked about ice cream, good ice cream. Today lets talk about ideas, good ideas. A couple of doors down from Ed’s Real Scoop is a business called Handmade Cabinets. Fred, the owner of Handmade, does some neat stuff with wood, including the “built from wood” bicycle you see in the picture above. But…
Two Favorite Flavors, One Container
I love good ice cream and, I’m not sure I ever told you this, but I like beer a bit too. When we were in Toronto on the weekend Jason took us down to Ed’s Real Scoop Ice Cream on Queen Street for a Mothers day treat. Turns out I also like mother’s day…
Best Mother’s Day EVER!
Sunday morning we were off to Toronto, to, for the first time in three weeks (for me) get another look at our new grandson, Aiden. He is now over nine pounds and gets more good lookin, just like his grampa, everyday. As were heading home after a dinner out, Mare commented that she had just…
