Launceston & Low Head
Launceston is the second largest city in Tasmania and that is where we went today. We needed to rent the car for an extra day and then also decided we might as well book the other two time periods as...
Gospel Choir Workshop coming to Saskatoon!
Featured Entry
When the two of us went to visit my sister & her husband for 5 weeks back early in 2009, she insisted we come to choir practice. They love their choir so they wanted to share that with us. Okay, so we tag along knowing of course that Lawrie has a nice voice, but mine isn't worth opening my mouth for, but humour my sister we will. Gospel choirs we have all seen and heard in any number of movies and it looks like they are having a good time, so maybe we will too.
The Great Western Tiers
After a very restful and rather long sleep (almost 12 hours) we ventured off down the highway (day two on the left side of the road is less nervy than day one) on our way to see some caves. In the end we...

Almost off and away
Less than two weeks to go! As I've noted elsewhere, we have been planning this trip for a while. I think half the adventure of travelling someplace new is finding out lots of things about the place. In...
Curried Split Pea and Spinach Soup
We recently joined the Alpine Bakery' Produce Club. Each week we drop by the bakery and pick up a very full brown paper bag of fruits and vegetables ... all organically grown. With our produce we get a...
Corn Chowder

Winter blah blah blah
Where does the time go? This winter hasn't been blah for all I used that word in my title ... well, maybe a few days were rather grey, but we have been quite busy. Besides work, walking the Os, cooking...
Travellers or Tourists?
This adventure that is life is just a bit confusing. We really do enjoy travelling to different places and seeing not only the natural beauty, but also the places that humans have had a hand in building...
Vest by Elsebeth Lavold
I managed to almost finish this vest while on tour in Peru. Almost ... just buttons and the edgings down the front. Fits perfectly and is a wonderful design. Thanks Elsebeth! I got fairly good value out...
