Here comes Santa Claus!!

Everyone knows that Santa likes sugar cookies...I just hope that he likes Christmas cows! I had a little helper choosing the shapes.Nothing says Christmas like quite like cow shaped sugar cookies. Of course we still have the classic reindeer (or "boose" depending on who you are), Denali, kitty, stars, trees and lambs. We should be cover...

The end is nearerer

2 days to go and school is out for Christmas... this is a call out to see if anyone is coming back for the holidays. We should be around and I'll be doing the final reno touches on our basement. With the exception of the bathroom, everything should be done. We might get the tile done over xmas but I'd take any distraction people have to offer!I will hopefully be posting pics of the new and improved basement later this week or early next wee...

Where's Waldo?

I've recently noticed that I haven't posted anything in..... forever! Nice to know no one noticed and panicked! Not to worry, I wasn't kidnapped by Somali pirates, been secretly campaigning for Obama or overwhelmed by the current recession.Fact is I've just been dwelling in my own self pity since school has started this year. Seems I've been pretty busy, working on my Masters still and back teaching full time. I've been assigned two new courses...

Neil Patrick Harris

It must be said that Neil Patrick Harris has come into his own now that his M.D. days are over. I have found him to be quite the bonus in his cameo role in Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle and his more dominant role in Harold and Kumar escape Guantanamo Bay.Recently, I was delighted to come across Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog where he plays a villain wth a PhD in Horrible. I thought I would pass along Act I Part I for your enjoyment. The rest...

Both of these lovely ladies are old alumni from the Regent Restaurant days. Tracy and Henry Liam Ward live in London while Pauline lives in Singapore now. It's pretty interesting how people who grow up in little old Deathbridge can get out and see the world.Anyways here are a few pics from our tr...

Rock and Roll

Well one of our projects that we undertook this summer was to finish the basement development of our house as well as some finishing up in the yard. We did some final concrete work around some of the rocks in the front and backyard. For those of you who noticed the funny white pipe sticking up in the front... it's gone now!Dora put a second coat of stain on the deck this year and did an excellent job if I do say so myself!In the basement, we had...

Kyle Saskatchewan Pt. 2

Well after our stop in Cypress Hills and the Great Sand Hills, we finally made it to the cabin. Clearwater lake is a small spring fed lake with a very high density of Roughrider fans! We spent the first day golfing. Yeah I know, me golfing, but this place is extreme! Eco-friendly with the oiled sand greens and no watering on the fairway. Did I mention the rough looks like well.... rough?I think this place could start a new trend with everyone...

Gear Shed II

Back in December, I posted about my " Gear Shed", my replica from this movie "The Big Hit" with Mark Walberg.I've always wanted to have this hidden gear closet that stored all my outdoor gear.Well it's basically done, just needed to varnish it and put some handles on it. But that has been taking longer than expected so I thought I would post the "semi-finished" product. The final shots will have a finished exteri...

Kyle Saskatchewan Pt. 1

Well, we were off to Kyle, Saskatchewan to hang out with Dora's family and relax at the lake. Her family has a cabin out that way, and if it wasn't for the 5hr drive, we'd probably head out more often.On the way we hit Cypress Hills (Saskatchewan side) to camp with my Bro for a bit. It was kind of funny to hang out with the "Camper boys" while we were still tenting it.After Cypress we started to head out to the #1, and stopped in to "The Star"...

Dry Spell

Apparently this dry spell has extended to my bloggin'!I'll try and update will a flurry of quick blogs about what has been keeping us so busy that I couldn't even write a blog post.Today, I'll talk about our trip to the Zoo. We took Logan to the zoo which was pretty fun for everyone. We found a 2 for 1 coupon online so that saved us a cool 18 bucks and made it a cheap day (except if you factor...

LadiesFest

Well, Dora was up for another race today, Ladiesfest, an all female 8k that goes up and down the coulee. She was planning on running it with her mom, but unfortunately, she became ill in the morning and was unable to race. Dora's sister-in-law was also running, so they ran it together instead. Her official time is not available yet, but it would be 47min + as we have a picture of her approaching the finish line at 47:01. Last year her time was...
