Happy New Year Everyone
Well 2008 certainly has been exciting. If the sudden downturn in the stock market didn’t make you cry, the flood in the basement did!. What a curse and a blessing all wrapped into one. It has been the new age Noah’s arc. Two by two they went into retrieve, recovery and deduce mode. You are starting the new year 2009 with a clean, fresh start. Baby steps from here on in. The burden has been lifted or should I say “washed away”. I’ll toast my new years glass to the survivors of 2008. Cheers!!!
Happy “To Hell with the Bell” Day
This day has finally come. I know that you have been dreaming of this day for a very long time. Does it seem bitter sweet? Welcome to the fellowship club of the young and idle. I know that you did not sleep in today as you were rushing off to have coffee with fellow retire-eeze and toasting “To Hell with the Bell” with that second cupa. Nice!!!

Bill and Jean’s 34th Wedding Anniversary
Jean and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary yesterday, December 29th. It is always a challenge to make plans to celebrate since there is no telling what the weather will dish out in late December. We decided to take a short drive to Shaker Village for an overnight stay. Jean and I had dined there before but never spent the night. We made dinner and breakfast reservations and headed out on our long journey after Jean came home from work.
At check in we were given a room in “East Family Dwelling”. The rooms are decorated to maintain the original Shaker layout of a very simple design. The building we stayed in was an original family dwelling from the Shaker days. I’m sure the Shakers didn’t enjoy the modern restrooms, Sealy mattress, and heating systems. The outside temperatures dropped below freezing Friday night and the room did get a bit chilly but that only made the comfortable bed a bit harder to get out of Saturday morning. I am glad that we didn’t have to do it all Shaker style.
Our dinner reservations were at 7:15 and we both enjoyed the great evening meal. We were still feeling the effects of the big Friday evening meal Saturday morning and breakfast was not sounding very interesting. We will have to go back some other time and try out the breakfast buffet.
All in all we had a very enjoyable evening. I suppose I better start looking now for something to do for the 35th. The way time flies it will be here much too soon. You can check out our weekend pictures here.
Happy Father’s Day
What a beautiful day we had yesterday. I hope that all the fathers had a relaxing and peaceful day doing what they like to do best. That be golfing, riding your motorcycle or watching a baseball game. I’m sure that Barbecue was the bill of fare yesterday out on the deck with ice cold brews or a smooth Merlot. whatever… as long as the family was around to thank, pamper and celebrate their fathers. Summer is just around the corner. To the DADS!!
The Heat is On
Oh, I could not resist to wish everyone a happy weekend working in the garden. The heat is on. We will all be basking in the warmth of the sun and raking to our hearts content, enjoying the first hint of Spring in Ontario.
Happy Lover’s Day
To all, reach over and give that big guy of yours a hug, a kiss and a memory of youth from days gone by. My, my, aren’t we lucky that our Valentine love has lasted this long. We don’t have to rekindle anything, the spark never went out! Feel the heat and enjoy the glow.
Happy New Year, 2007
The New Year was welcomed on a balmy rainy night from the confines of a hot tub surrounded by friends and family. This was the finale for a year of mixed emotions from: challenge, surprises, change, happiness, hard work, sadness and loss. We celebrated with the last supper BBQ of 2006. Prime rib roast beef was the bill of fare ending with chocolate mousse. How delightful! Cheers to all.
Merry Christmas to all!
