We’re Going To Pump You Up…

…with iron. That’s what my doctor told me on Wednesday right after he let me know that I am “severly anemic.” Of course, the news came just in time to spend the whole next day receiving our household goods which were delivered a day early. Talk about exhausting.
I should have known something was wrong with me when [...]

Thanks! Grandma Betty

When we registered FG for school, she had to take a series of tests which is given to all new students. I hadn’t been warned about the test or the length of time it would take. After an hour and a half of waiting around, I was getting a little worried that there was something [...]

Growing Pains

We’re moved in and are settling into our new home. We get our household goods on Friday, not Wednesday as I previously thought. Our “hold baggage” had enough essentials to carry us over but I must say the blow-up mattress is not the best for my back/side/neck!

FG and I decided to test it out on Monday. We didn’t try out the batting cages yet but we did [...]

singing softly with the wind
moving so gently

Comfort Films

Some people eat comfort foods when they’re stressed, but not me, when I’m feeling stressed or out of sorts, I watch what I call “comfort” movies. We’ve been in temporary lodging for a couple weeks now and the house we were suppose to get yesterday won’t be ready for another two weeks so I’ve resorted [...]

It was another gorgeous day here in the North Country so we decided to head further north to visit Kingston, Ontario. The city of Kingston is halfway between Canada’s two largest cities: Toronto and Montreal. It has a major port which allows for a lot of boating and boat cruises throughout the beautiful Thousand Islands. [...]

Our new bench?

Our new bench?

While visiting Kingston, Ontario ~ we saw this cheetah bench for sale. FG and I vote for the cheetah one and FM likes the driftwood bench in the back. FM and I are usually so traditional but we’re trying to be a little more edgy. Mid-life crisis and all, you know
What [...]
