Well, I’ve been over my head with backing up the computer, getting back from White Lake (did I mention we had to pack up in the pouring rain, I almost lost my mind when I thought our arrangements for having the camper parked fell through and ended up at the front gate office in my [Read more]
I originally posted this July 19th, 2009 and it has since been published in the Chronicle Journal (soon to run in The Echo I hope) but thought it was worth posting again as a reminder that if you have an opinion regarding this by-law, you should submit it in writting to the Township & not [Read more]

Emeraude’s new nest that brother put in considerable effort to retrieve (tyLloyd) Lloyd messing around to crack us up (it worked 🙂 lol) another pose with our pinecone craft. She made the bird (blue pipecleaner) and I made the bumblebee with her help (she worked the glue gun), lots of fun. [Read more]
I am so lucky to have kids that don’t have to be pressured into having fun outdoors, it comes to them naturally. Lloyd has always enjoyed fishing and in fact is the one who has re-taught me as an adult, how to put a worm on a hook and handle minnows, and which lures are [Read more]

It took some work but we’ve finally made it out :). I had help to get the camper there, it needed to be taken out of the garage by four-wheeler and then was towed with a truck to White Lake Provincial Park where we hope to continue camping for a couple weeks at least. Aside… The [Read more]
It’s been so buzy around our house the past weeks, not in a way I am particularly fond of but we continue trying to make the best of things. This morning, as Lloyd worked hard to get the house in order, sweeping, doing dishes & laundry and while I worked hard on an article I am [Read more]
Emeraude & I were thrilled to learn that the Manitouwadge Family Place-Best Start Hub would be continuing there Tuesday & Thursday morning drop-ins through July. We love going to drop-in where there is usually craft, snack and circle time at each drop in. Thursday, July 9th when we attended [Read more]
EEEK… Emeraude has a dentist appointment this morning, not something I am looking forward to inspite of the fact that she likes the dentist… Maybe it’s because she has until now liked the dentist and I am worried this morning’s appointment may change that. I was relieved [Read more]
Emeraude’s beautiful princess bed broke this week. I’m not sure if it was brother leaning in to give her a kiss and the bed couldn’t handle his weight or the dog (I don’t think it could’ve been the latter as she doesn’t weigh that much more than Emeraude). In [Read more]

The above photo is of a tree that was here when we moved in. It was, at that time, well above the eavestrough on the front of the house but had sick branches and was out of control so one fall I “trimmed” it back. I had just bought new hedge cutters and must admit [Read more]

Well, kind of. I think they will come to call it home before much time passes. It was after all Sylvia’s home for many years of her childhood so it is fitting that like all ‘Wadgeians she has returned and brought her family with her. I worked with Henry years ago. Well, again, kind of. [Read more]
