When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels We made it home from our great 2 week california trip to… you guessed it, yet more snow. Not sure why that surprises or shocks, have lived in canada most of my life, deb in western mass… yet somehow every snow fall still brings [...]

One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. One of my christmas presents was a book called “1000 Places to see before you die”. We thought we’c create a new category where we’d keep track and see how far along we get in that life’s list! The sunshine and lovely weather [...]

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. We spent some time yesterday scoping out the local RV campgrounds in and around Santa Cruz. Most particularly Felton, which is the town deb’s daughter is living in at the moment. It’s a lovely town, i could totally see us hanging out here for [...]

We had the best day ever celebrating my daughter, Sam’s 21st birthday. I had not seen her in six months. So this was a sweet visit. We drove out to her new place in Felton. She shares a cute little house with her boyfriend, Brandon. Sam took us all to a local park which is [...]

The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble. We are out in California visiting some of deb’s family for two weeks…. giving us a big taste of travelling and adventures! Our first day here was wonderful. Apart from being in the company of  deb’s sister and [...]

He who would travel happily must travel light Each year, as we head closer to the 8th of February, the date of my father’s death 9 years ago, I find myself thinking of him often.  As we head into this adventure, he comes to mind all the more. He would have loved the idea, and [...]

“We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails.” I’ve been surfing around the internet finding a great array of images to motivate and inspire. Now, I don’t know what these images do to you… to me…. hmmm to say rush of excitement is a BIG understatement! …picturing ourselves sitting on a beach chair just in front of [...]

“The very act of believing creates strength of its own.” It’s been an exciting day in the reach of our little blog, and our big dream. As a long time internet junkie, the reach is no surprise. Ever since my boys got me connected in the late 90′s, i’ve always tapped into it’s good side. It even [...]

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music”  (Aldous Huxley) It’s funny how the universe places things in your path. Before christmas we went to a party where there was one of those yankee swap present exchanges. The gift i ended up with was a book and dvd on how to [...]

It’s snowing again here in lovely Montreal. I went for a walk in the woods today with Max and Murphy and their buddy Maggie (a beautiful chocolate lab). It was very cold. I had to bundle up. As we were walking, I was thinking about this being the last winter (at least for a while…and [...]
