It seems to be hard to get everyone together on someone’s birthday so it’s quite the occasion when the family gathers these days with all the Grandkids. With Des’s birthday passed and Scott’s coming up we managed a combined dinner celebration. Of course for us, the best part is spending time with everyone, especially the Read More …

It started off so innocently

I invited the guys to the boat show. We saw some impressive water craft. Drooled over some ridiculously expensive fiberglass. Went out for wings and a beverage and talked about stuff. And then, the next day, it started. There were a few more discussions and then today we’re in a store looking around. Parker Read More …

Between services at church today I got the privilege of spending a few special moments with Scott, Mandy, Easton and Clark. So nice to touch base and connect even for a few moments. Shared a cookie with Easton and had a nice cuddle with Clark who was so relaxed and looking around checking out Read More …

It appears that I’m a winer in the Tour of Sufferlandria! My prize? Well, interesting that you should ask. The prize is Taylor Phinney signed pair of Giro Empire shoes (Collectible – size 45) And sure enough he wears them! At first I was thinking what will I do with a pair of Read More …

I rode the IceBike today, probably my 10th or more, I’ve lost track, but I’ve got quite a few T-shirts from the events at home. For me, this year was one of the worst. Within the first couple of minutes I had a mechanical issue with chain suck that had me stopped and off the Read More …

Tour of Sufferlandria – Stage 3

I… am… so… out… of… my… league… at… 308. Today’s Fight Club just killed me. Had to stop multiple times in the last two intervals to recover. I’m going to have to dial down my FTP from 308 to something like 290 in order to survive the next 6 days. Last year I tested a Read More …

New Years Eve at the Lake

For the 1st time, we welcomed in the new year from the cottage. With the forecast for temperatures in the -10 to -20°C over night it seemed quite manageable from a heating and temperature perspective so we headed out around noon on the 31st for a nice sunny drive to the lake. Once at the Read More …

Best Christmas present ever was having our entire family, extended family and church family together in the Christmas Eve service. Having your children and grandchildren together at church, worshiping, keeping the young ones engaged, and just reflecting on the family is the best gift ever. So proud of them all.
