Magnetic Attractions

My cousin, Mr Minolta, is getting married and I think that this may be his wedding invitation, he’s a little fridge magnet crazy. I couldn’t find the RSVP button, so I stuck it on my Internet Fridge in the hopes that it has some kind of RFID tag that phones home on magnetic contact [...]

Why go through this pain and torture? You might get another cup of coffee or even better a [...]

Jacques & Dad Get Rushed to the NICU

New Roof for Valois Bay

It took a while to get there but the Roofers finally showed up to put the new roof up on Valois Bay today. It’s took a while to get the goods unloaded and the Skip setup but once the boys with the ladders arrived and started stripping off half the roof it was amazing [...]

Remembering

Chloé and I attended the Pointe-Claire Remembrance Parade with her Brownie troop today. I reminded her that I have been attending the same parade as her since I was her age.
