I wanted to go paddling today. We also needed to get Carol (Danelle’s mom) out of the house. I called and asked if she would like to go paddling and she said yes. The boats were packed and we were off to pick her up. At Carol’s house, she came outside with sweat pants on. … Continue reading “Simpson Lake – 5/11/2025”

What an action packed month. Sonora asked us to show up for the 4th fireworks. We managed to sit on the concrete for the discus ring. Gimli managed to climb up to the rafter in the basement and got stuck. I went out to Danforth to work on a wet day and got the RAV4 … Continue reading “July 2024”

It was a family affair at our house. We had Danelle’s immediate family over for a nice meal. We were all having a great time and the home made bread didn’t last too long!

We parked ourselves in chairs and proceeded … Continue reading “Danforth With Danelle’s Parents – 3/30/2024”
I’m in my mid forties and I already don’t care too much for my birthday. Not because I’m getting older, but because I’ve already had enough of them. Okay, really cause I have all the stuff that I want. Online shopping has made it too simple to just order whatever you want and have it … Continue reading “Grandpa Henry’s Birthday – 3/4/2024”
We were looking for something to do together on a cold winter day. Our best idea was bowling. To up the ante, we invited Danelle’s parents, Carol and Henry. They had Mark over and we brought them along as well. The whole crew of intrepid bowlers sans myself taking the photo. No worries, my selfie … Continue reading “Bowling – 1/15/2024”
We were thrilled to have Corvin home for winter break. With it being his second year of college and not having Coty around, the time with him was more precious. He didn’t waste any time getting cozy. It also appears the cats missed him too! Henry and Carol got in on the cat love as … Continue reading “December – 2023”
We’ve been wanting to get Danelle’s parents out to Danforth to hang out with us for a while. We used her dad’s birthday and decent weather as an excuse. We started off by taking them to Panera for lunch. They don’t go out much and this has become their favorite place to eat (when we … Continue reading “Grandpa Henry’s Birthday – 3/5/2023”
