A journey of Ten Years

I'm looking forward to a new year with a new set of results. It's going to be fun!

Why not join all the others who are committing to doing something every day for the next year? I mean, I have done it before – going to the gym every day for a whole year. Somewhere I have th…

It's the May Long Weekend here in Canada and lots of people are busy getting their gardens in. Back in Calgary we'd sometimes go camping in BC and come back to snow on the ground! That hasn't happened in Ontario, yet. Here, we have been working as well. A few weeks ago - well, maybe a month ago - I started some seeds in the house....

Today I am celebrating an interesting year. I am not a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination, although I have managed to solve a quadratic equation. Still, numbers fascinate me. It started the year I turned 49. It was significant as a jubilee year. Forty-nine is also a square number. But squares are so even, so that year I was square and odd....

Empty promises from Canada…we must do better.

The journey continues. I just don't have any pictures to show you! Well, I did find a few on my phone, and they should be arriving in my email, soon! My biggest success story took place in the garage. Eric did an amazing job of organizing it. I can find things fairly quickly - especially the tape measure. Last week, I completed a squatty-potty for my daughter's birthday....

I really like these potatoes…. Even without the onions. https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbakeitwithlove.com%2Fpan-fried-potatoes-and-onions%2F&t=Pan%20Fried%20Potatoes%20and%20Onions%20%7BQuick%20%26%20Easy%20Skillet%20Home%20Fries%7D

If there is one thing that I tell people about me - it is that I don't finish things. I'm a great idea person - but seeing the project through to the end - that's something I find challenging. (I'm trying to stop using the words HARD or DIFFICULT - and embracing the challenge of solving the puzzle.) This is a collage of the things I have finished during th month of July....

I know you aren’t seeing them yet….because they are still in the WIP stage (Work in Progress). Some friends asked for a bit of an explanation and this is it. These are pin loons, and yo…

Well, it took a while but all my scapes are off the garlic and in the house! I did not realize just how many scapes come from over 1000 garlic cloves. Over a thousand is the right answer. Now to do something with them! Put up a sign - GARLIC SCAPES FOR SALE! Not everyone knows how delicious these are - I certainly didn't until 2 years ago....

In which I start to deconstruct and reconstruct a vintage 1982 Apalache trailer.

Last night, I was surprised to see Eric backing up with my trailer! It wasn’t what I was envisioning for how I would start this project. Still, it is here and this morning I was able to see t…

The journey is getting ready for a bend in the road. I have bought a travel trailer that looks kind of like this: I downloaded this from : and I'm not sure this is what mine will look like! My family is also on this journey - but they have their own project. So how does a 63 year old woman become a home renovator?...

The thought was "this is fun" which did not resonate with me at all today. "This can be fun" was more true for me so I changed some of the exercises to make it more fun for me to do this morning!

You never know what the day is going to hold. Yesterday I was driving the John Deere and today I was helping to push it out of the mud. ER is cleaning out the coop - EM and I are cleaning the house. I'm taking a break and having lunch!
