5C's Que Pasa

When was the last time that you checked your dryer vent & shaft  for a lint blockage?  On the news a few weeks ago we saw the results of a devastating fire caused by lint build up in a home clothes dryer.  That reminded us that we had only once in the past eight years [...]

Poor Carmeh.  She woke us up shortly after 6AM with a constant scratching.  We told her to go back to sleep.  She kept twisting and scratching… Something bit her, you can see a small bump over her rapidly swelling left eye. We think it must have been a spider that was here in the house. [...]

Assignment:  take photo of tiny cottage and create an image that will help sell said cottage. Remember it all started with a photo at the factory!  All in a days work for Colin.  The client was extremely pleased.

So the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup.  Both teams played a good game.  The Bruins played a bit better and won.  However the city of Vancouver lost…. Don’t anyone ever ever talk to me about the violence in Mexico.  At least there it is one drug gang against another, not full out rioting and wanton [...]

Somewhat low key today what with the weather forecast for the week ahead. Yesterday while walking the girls here in the park, a fellow stopped his car and asked Colin if Caeli was pregnant or just fat!!  That’s it kiddo, serious diet time. I managed to get a few yard shots yesterday while it was [...]

Is it really and truly mid June?  Are you sure?  The Canucks are still playing hockey! Maybe I am just not in the right place at the right time but I have yet to see goslings or ducklings.  At least I saw a few baby quail, certainly not the huge clutches that are usually everywhere.

…I think we had a pretty good weekend.  The weather wasn’t perfect so Colin was home the entire weekend and we managed to go with the flow. We got some cleaning done, some yard work done, mostly fertalizing and I just let the pruning & deadheading slide.  It will be there next time we get [...]

Our passports are due for renewal mid July and I have just discovered that there is a new simpler form.  It came into law about a month after our current passports were issued. Here is a copy paste of the ins and outs of the process.  I have just realized that many do not know [...]

Fires are burning Arizona, the humidity is doing in NYC, and other parts of the US are flooding & in Toronto, residents are recovering from a horrid storm.  Here is Kelowna the newspaper headline on Thursday read.. The new tree is doing great and my potted plants are coming into their own. As to me, [...]

I worked really hard yesterday getting my list whittled down.  I didn’t finish it all but did get a great deal done which feels good.  Still the same 3 or 4 items carried forward to today which I know will not get done yet again.  As they say in Mexico, manana or even pasada manana [...]
