Time Lapse

This Christmas we did the usual, which involves driving up to champion for "doughgods" bun dough fried in lard, served with butter, sugar and sour cream.  They are very addictive and very tasty. This is followed with a drive back to Coalhurst for an evening of family fun and eating.  This year I had the schools camera.  I recently purchased a remote trigger for the camera with interval settings.  I thought I would try it out to see if I could do some time lapse photography.  It seemed to work, but I think my time intervals...

Whitefish Trip

We headed south to do some shopping for Christmas and the house two weekends ago.  It was a fun trip as the in-laws were willing and happy to watch the boys for us.  While we love them dearly, you can't shop worth a darn with them.  With the boys in good hands we were in power shop mode. We did make a quick drive up the mountain to see how much snow there was as Whitefish Mountain was open, but from the pictures, you can...

House Progress

We're 3 months into our build and things are looking great.  The house has a shingled roof and last week the builder wrapped the house.  It's nice to see that it's looking weather tight and this makes me very happy.  I'm excited to see what the new year brings as far as construction. ...

House Update

Well the house is coming along, with the roof getting finished and shingles now getting nailed down.  Window are in and most of the framing is done. It's nice to see some of the plumbing going in and things getting done in a way where upgrading will be easier.  I'd mention more, but you can check out more pictures and better descriptions on this site. ...

Tourtiere

Well, if you follow along on Liminal Me's Blog, your sure to know that she is a wonderful cook.  I sometimes attempt to cook to, often with good food, less plating/presentation.  However, this time I may have succeeded in both! While perusing the Walrus magazine, I came across a picture that looked divine, a peasant dish from Quebec called a Tourtiere. It looked good!  Now while Liminal Me often prepares lovely vegetarian dishes,...

December = Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching and as per usual, we like to go tree hunting.  This year was no different except our niece came out with us.  It was nice to have her come and join us and I think she had a good time too. As you can see from the pictures, not a lot of snow so far this winter.  It was pretty bare out near Westcastle , not sure when they plan to open, but I think they need more snow.  We managed to get some sledding...

Grass Fires

As I'm sure you've heard, Southern Alberta was ablaze this weekend with several grass fires all around Lethbridge.  The largest was burning to the South of Raymond.  While no one was in real danger, there were some worried folks around as information was slow to filter its way to people.   At times, roads were shut down and people were evacuated. While not at risk, I did take a drive out to our property to make sure the wind hadn't...

Boys in Tofino

With the blessings of Dora I hopped on a plane and headed West to hang with my buds.  We have planned a few days of surfing; on kayaks and surf boards.  With little actual practice this year I was a bit worried about how things would work out on the water.  Oh well, no point worrying till the wave hit you! I arrived the day before so we headed to meet big T in Nanaimo.  With a phone call from big T about missing his ferry due...
