Horizontal Trees

It was quite a day! With wind gusts exceeding 100 kilometers per hour (60 mph) and a soaking wet soil  from weeks of severe rains, many  trees in the Niagara region were seen literally  falling out of the gound. They fell into roads, signs, houses, businesses and RV’s. Thousands of people were with out power. Because…

Not Another Flood!

Marilyn has an absolute phobia about  ticks. You know, the little bugs that drop down out of the trees or jump up from the grass, attach themselves to you and then suck your blood. Still don’t know what I’m talking about? Here’s what Wikipedia says about ticks. We live in a Conservation area, so we often…

Ouch!

Yesterday afternoon, after doing chores around our coach and  our yard, we went for a bit of a drive. You know, a cruise to see what had changed over the winter. Apparently going for a drive is not something you do any more. On the way home I  stopped to fuel the truck. As the…

I Feel Like Blogging

It’s early Sunday morning after a crazy busy week. Marilyn was gone to Edmonton to catch up with her mother and sisters and as of yesterday, she is now back. We are united again. She was only gone 4 or 5 days but the dogs and I certainly missed her.. Not that we had a lot…

Now That Feels Better

    My goal for today was to go back to work and work it til noon. When  I left shortly after twelve noon I was tired, but boy did it ever feel good to get back at it. I’ll lengthen the day out a bit tomorrow and the rest of the week and see if I…

Frustrating Days

I haven’t been ignoring you, honest., at least not on purpose anyway.  I guess I’ll just get  the excuses out of the way so I can get back to the regular me. I’m usually a pretty active guy but the last couple of weeks have been quite a struggle. I had it all figured out…

Cancer Free

In an office just down the hall from where in early October of last year we learned that I had prostrate cancer, yesterday, now mid April, we learned that all tests came back 100% fine. A-OK, Perfecto, Nada, Zero, Cerro! While they were at it they took back the staples in my belly and my…

Simple Is Best

Sunday afternoon Mar & I had an enjoyable visit from grandson Aiden. He brought along both his Mom & Dad,  Jason &  Elizabeth. He’s really starting to get around, even on his own. It was interesting to watch the process as he played with the toys that they had brought for him to enjoy. Turns out…

Meet Murphy

You probably already have. He’s the guy that’s famous for all those Murphy’s Laws. You know; If anything can go wrong it will and all those other gems. Yesterday I ask you to comment, today I realize that “Comments” aren’t  working. I’m getting them and can see them in the back of the blog but…
