We don’t really celebrate Father’s Day in my family. We don’t really celebrate any of that stuff. But since everyone is sharing photos old photos of their dads, I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. Okay, I did promise no more photos of him on the internet. But this one doesn’t count! Because, really, it’s…

All Dressed Up – Birthday Party

From back in the day when girls were girls and our mothers dressed us funny. This throwback Thursday post is from my 7th or 8th birthday party. I’m not sure why the boys in attendance weren’t in the photo, but maybe it was because their outfits weren’t suitably silly or bright. Note the many many…

Mother’s Day Throw Back Thursday

In honour of Mother’s Day, I’m sharing one of the very few photos of me, Mom and my grandmother for Throwback Thursday. I’m not entirely sure who the lady with the white hair is, but she sure squeezed us to the edge of the frame. I’m especially fond of how delighted we all look. Based…

Taken To The Cleaners – A Travel Bunny Video

Sometimes it gets to be a bit much, this travelling with Travel Bunny. He sneaks into my luggage and pops up in the most unusual places, often near food, on my pillow, horning in on my drink or cuddling with yet another random stranger. After 25 years of this, it was time to take him…

Dim Sum Quotes

For our first meal after Live Below The Line we returned to our regularly scheduled weekend dim sum. We headed out further a field than usual because our friend Linda was visiting and she came equipped with a car. So we headed north to where some of the best dim sum in the GTA can…

My travel companions for #LexGoFurther–A Ford Escape

For the most part, I was alone while on this trip, but I did have some companionship during the trip. Gerry joined me for the warm-up leg from Toronto to Kingston, which meant once I got the car I had to wait for him to finish up his day before we could hit the road……

The Red Ford Mustang That Started It All – #LexGoFurther – A Ford Escape

I remember fondly the yellow Volkswagen Beetles, the blue Datsun, the burgundy Peugeot, but the car that stands out the most is the red Ford Mustang. My grandmother’s car. My grandmother was a sporty, speed freak and she really wanted…

Inspired by this shot taken 5 years ago, we have taken to getting our holiday dining companions to pose with their chargers. Some achieve very angelic visages, some a little more humours, but they have all been good sports. If you want to recreate this experience with your friends and family, remember a couple of…
