The next stop on our European adventure is Cannes, in the south of France. But the tale of how we made it from Italy to Cannes deserves its own post (in my mind) since it took an entire (not that fun) day to accomplish. So here you go. The tale of our time in Cannes… Continue reading Europe Trip 2013 – Interlude by train
For a long time I've wanted to visited the Canadian East Coast. Pictures of lighthouses in Nova Scotia look beautiful. I'm a big fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery, who set the majority of her books on Prince Edward Island. But every book I've read about Newfoundland makes it sound like a cold, desolate place. (See:… Continue reading Book Review – Galore by Michael Crummey

Some afternoons the sun comes out and the fog burns away but it's been lingering for a while now. Sunday evening. Peter went fishing in our front… Continue reading Mid-Week Snapshots
