Jungle of a garden
July 31, 2007
Garden Late JulyWe came home from our vacation to a jungle of a garden. This is our first vegetable garden, not counting the tomatoes and lettuce I grew in containers 2 summers ago. Since that is my only vegetable growing experience I am rather shocked that my tomato plants are ...
Visiting Family
July 28, 2007
Almost near the end of our vacation in Nova Scotia. Yesterday we went to visit Damien's cousin Gisele and her husband Albert, who live about an hour from my parent's place. What a memorable and lovely time. They live on a peninsula in a lake and the kids thoroughly enjoyed ...
What day is it? Whale Watching & More
July 26, 2007
Coffee at Bisquit EaterI just realized that I shouldn't know what day it is, I'm on vacation. So, this is what we've done for the past couple days. Monday was a couple days ago hum... what happened. Nothing much I don't think, probably more swimming at the lake. Went to ...
Happy Birthday Dad - Vacation Days 4, 5 & 6
July 23, 2007
Today is my dad's birthday. What a treat to spend this gorgeous summer day with him. Church in the morning. Lunch on the deck and then an afternoon on the lake - canoeing with the kids and then swimming. Mom made Manhattan style chowder for a special supper for Dad. ...
Vacation Day 3 Kejimkujik National Park
July 21, 2007
I'm behind a couple days on my posting... A couple days ago we hiked along the ocean at Kejimkujik National Park Seaside Adjunct. Absolutely stunning, I've never experienced anything quite like it. The day was mostly foggy except for the patch of blue sky and sun while we ate our ...

On my first day of vacation...
July 18, 2007
I washed the car. Washing the car on vacation is a novel thing. It means we have our car on vacation - a first in the 7 years since we've moved to the States. Since moving south (yes Maine is south if you're from Canada) all our long vacations have ...
Becky & Zoltan visit
July 11, 2007
The kid's cousins Ja-ira and Keziah (and Auntie Becky & Uncle Zoltan of course) have been here for one week now. It's been a lovely time of getting to know each other all a little more and experiencing some of what Maine has to offer. We've had some days together ...
Help, I'm bookless..
July 9, 2007
Somewhere in the transition from spring to summer I finished up the books I was reading and started to tire of the "how to do house church", "defining the emerging church" and "living a disciplined Christian life" type books I was reading. I now find myself with no good books ...
Startling discoveries
July 3, 2007
Damien's brother and his family are arriving tonight for a 2 week stay at our house. This is their first visit to Maine and I've been busy scrubbing and polishing our home to (let's be honest) make a good impression. Our house doesn't get scrubbed very much, tidied & vacuumed ...
