Monday morning and we’ve finally finished the house inventory. The agency that manages our property has produced an exhaustive description of absolutely everything in the […]
For four months I laboured. It was to be a love gift I would leave to my girls and grandchildren. Oh, the work involved!
It’s a great time to be a Blue Jays fan! On Wednesday night, with a victory over Oakland, and a loss by the New York […]
With the exception of the odd Ebenezer Scrooge, most of us agree we should care for others. But is there an order? A “priority sequence”? With […]
The Messy Table has a new table. Heavy wood with solid legs and an extra leaf hidden away underneath, just waiting for our first expanded […]
