September my favorite month!   Now that I no longer go to school that is. The weather is usually perfect. The days hot enough to swim, run, whaterver your favorite outdoor event maybe and the evenings you can sleep with the windows open. If you do have to start back to school hopefully you have been able to acquire the best electronics …

School checklist for 2013 is all about technology. The newest binder has been replaced by a laptop or IPad, the latest binder cover by the newest photo taken and of course the class divider pages, well they are now the latest Apps. Where it used to be about a trip to the nearest department store you can now do it all on …

Well it’s time to get the kids, teens and young adults ready for the next year/semester of school. Fading out are the days of purchasing scribblers, dou-tangs, binders  and all that writing material. Now we’re tasked with finding the right laptop or IPAD. I hope that the tech reviews we are completing or sharing through our site will help you make …

How long have you lived where you do? I moved to Niagara, Ontario in 1995 and until yesterday had never truly toured Toronto.  A regular traveller, we usually only go to Toronto for hockey games.  With the arrival of our friends from  South Carolina we ventured to Toronto via the Go Train. What a great experience! We purchased a scenic bus tour, which also gave …

It’s official the 2012 Summer Olympics have begun! It seems, no matter which channel you turn to, you will get coverage or at least an update on the athletes or the shananigans surrounding them.  This may take away from the ‘reality shows’ that have invaded every network. Thank goodness, bring on the games! HIGHLIGHT REVIEW Ever been a passenger on an …

When the thunder rolls! Lighting strikes somewhere and although we can’t see exactly where we know it’s close because less than five seconds later there is a crack of thunder.  You know it is a true thunderstorm when these events happen so close together. As we are collected in the garage to avoid the rain it’s a great experience and conversation …

Tuesday, it’s the day of the week that follows Monday and before Wednesday. I was curious today what Tuesday meant and haven’t really found a good definition.  It also appears that Tuesday is not an extremely historical day, although there are of course some interesting happenings. Do something today to make it a little more enjoyable whereever you are. HIGHLIGHT REVIEW …

This week we purchased a new family vehicle, a Ford Edge.  After checking out a number of internet reviews and of course a few personal ones were offered, we had made our decision.  Everyone had an opinion, including me on what would be best for our needs and wants. It reminded me of why we do this website in the first place. To offer opinions, …

A new week is upon us and it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Well for a week anyway. One of the great things about our summer is all the mini-vacations that we take. Almost every weekend is a new adventure, whether we are on our motorcycles or in our truck. It keeps us fresh and we meet so …

June has almost passed us by and the official beginning of summer here in Ontario, Canada starts with the end of school and the July 1st long weekend. The forecast is awesome for all outdoor activities.  Families will embark on the lakes and campsites in full force. Smores galore will be made and of course the cold beer will be chillin’. Wishing everyone …
