I guess it’s got something to do with age, but lately I’ve noticed that it seems all of my friends have had at least on colonoscopy, some two or three while I have had none. Not that I was jealous (well maybe a bit) mind you but at my lovely’s insistence last fall before we…

The Two Day Rule
Marilyn and I have a friend who we will call Ruth. For over 30 years, Ruth was happily married to a fine guy named Phil. Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, after a lengthy illness Phil passed away. Ruth began to rebuild her life without her high school sweetheart. About a year ago Ruth met…
Man at Work
Play time is over. Work time has begun. For the last 6 months, while you could always find me on my cell phone or watching my email, the odds of finding me anywhere near Sicard RV in Smithville, Ontario were exactly zero. As of yesterday I ‘m back at it so now for the next…
Very Different Perspectives
We head into the City of Toronto Saturday afternoon, on a mission to baby sit our now four-year-old grandson Aiden. We catch up with him about 3 pm to plan our stratetgy. At about 3:30 we catch the 505 Red Rocket (that’s what Toronto folk call their street cars) down Dundas Street to a large…
The Red Red Robin comes Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along
When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin’ along you know that spring is definitely on it’s way once more and we are lucky enough to have two bobbing red robins building a nest in a tree right next to our coach here at 50 Point Conservation Area. From dawn to dusk these busy birds…

That was perfect for us because while it was a great deal on the phone, T-Mobile certainly wouldn’t work for us in…
Kind Words and Compliments
We’ve received a flood of positive comments on the article that RV West magazine did on us and they still keep coming. We thank you for all of them. A week ago we got a comment that kind of set me back a bit. I had forwarded the article to the brothers at Sicard RV,…
Lucky Us, One More Spring
We’ve been flirting with spring for months now, watching the grass turn green and the plants blossom first in Alabama, Mississippi, then Tennessee as we work our way north. We arrived in Grimsby Ontario on Wednesday and there is no question, once again, we are ahead of spring. It’s coming, there is no question of…
What’s That Smell?
I’m sure we’ve all been through this. We’re having a great day rolling down ( or maybe it was rolling up) the highway, the road is smooth, the traffic is light, the sun in shining and life is good. We pull into a rest area for lunch when all of a sudden Marilyn says “What’s that…
