Remember Olive? She’s expecting! Marla’s sister Vanessa adopted Hugo (also a teacup Chihuahua) a while back. She was waiting until he was 9 months old to get him neutered since he had an extra set of teeth that also needed pulling. This way he could get it all taken care of at once. Everyone thought … Continue reading

Tyler Yuke Memorial Open Mic Night
This post has been saved as a draft forever! The only thing holding me back was adding the pictures. I finally got around to it today….so here it is! Back in March we attended the Tyler Yuke Memorial Open Mic Night at The Outback (Sault College). Greg won the Tyler Yuke Memorial Bursary this year, … Continue reading
Poor neglected blog
Poor neglected blog. When people hear that I have a blog I always say “I have many unpublished drafts.” It’s been a busy few weeks. I went to 3 weddings (2 in the same weekend in different cities), got stranded at the airport in TO (flight was cancelled), went camping for my birthday and I’ve … Continue reading
In celebration of wedding season!
It’s wedding season! What a beautiful time of year! This summer we’re lucky to be attending 3 weddings (6 total for 2009). I love weddings, and have been sharing in the joy of wedding planning with some of my friends (either hearing about it, talking about or helping out when possible). It’s very exciting to … Continue reading
Visitors from home
During the first weekend in March we had visitors from the GTA. Our close friends Serena and Neil drove up to the Soo for a whirlwind visit. It wasn’t a long weekend, they couldn’t take time off for the visit so it was a very short time for such a long drive and we really … Continue reading
April Fools Fruit Loopy fun
After much planning the ladies and I at work carried out the ultimate April Fools prank. We went into work on the night of March 31st, wrapped the majority of our co-worker’s things in his cubicle in tin foil and then covered any remaining surface area with fruit loops (we used 4 boxes). The result … Continue reading
Signs of Spring
It’s March already which means Spring (in Canada anyway) is just around the corner. The first day of Spring is March 20 and even though it’s -30 there is a sure sign of the beginnings of spring. Roll Up the Rim fever has hit! Tim Hortons’ annual Roll Up the Rim. I’ve already had 6 … Continue reading
New Year's Sleigh Ride Soo style
On the first day of the New Year we headed out to Circle H for a sleigh ride. It was 8 p.m. and the snow was falling ever so gently. I had never been on a Sault Ste. Marie sleigh ride before, and had heard that people here tend to throw other people off. I … Continue reading
Olive the other reindeer…
Marla has a beautiful teacup chihuahua named Olive who I absolutely adore. Olive is one of those dogs who knows for certain she is a dog. She hates clothes and only wears them when it is absolutely necessary (and believe me, it is necessary in the cold sometimes in Sault Ste. Marie!). As the holidays … Continue reading
slow fast food
Dan and I drove from Sault Ste. Marie to Brampton yesterday with much trepidation in our hearts. We’d heard about “snowmageddon” hitting Southern Ontario and weren’t looking forward to driving 8 hours in any kind of storm. Fortunately for us the worst of it hit on Friday, and the roads were in great condition as … Continue reading
