Clearing snow off our tall van is not fun. A regular snow brush doesn't really do a good job of covering the area and reaching up high. We tried many things, including a broom, with mediocre results. We resigned ourselves to the fact that it's just going to be hard to clear snow off of … Continue reading JoyTutus Snow Brush: Product Review
We had a lovely surprise the other day. Our daughter's neighbour left a basket of goodies by the front door. In it were a card wishing us all a merry Christmas and welcoming our daughter to the neighbourhood, a dmini tree. Such a beautiful and kind gesture and goes oh so well with the signs … Continue reading ONE PHOTO AT A TIME – Spreading Joy
In the past couple of weeks we've been taking Penny for a daily walk in the neighbourhood. There is lots to see here and we will write more about that later. In the meantime, here are some, signs, murals, and creative cultural expressions encountered on our walks. There are plenty of lawn signs with many … Continue reading Signs of Denver
We have to start with a warning: there are a lot of photos in this post. Perhaps too many, but it was hard to choose and we wanted to share with you the beauty of Paint Mines Interpretive Park. Furthermore, many of these too many photos are of rocks and rock formations. If you are … Continue reading Paint Mines Interpretive Park
One of the best things about blogging is meeting other bloggers. It gets even better when you get to meet them in person.

Go over and check out their blog, … Continue reading Stegosaurus Ridge With New Friends
We didn't look closely enough at the photo in the previous post. Look closely; you will see that there is an orange circle in the centre of the triangle. That would be a surveyor's permanent control point like the one in the photo below. And just like the three stakes below are identifying the location … Continue reading Mystery Triangle Solved?
We spotted this little oddity on our way to the Paint Mines Interpretive Park near Colorado Springs. There was also a strange arrangement right next to it that looked like a landing site. Does anyone know what this all means? I know it's more than one photo, but it was necessary 🙂 Stay tuned for … Continue reading ONE PHOTO AT A TIME – Stairway to Heaven
We are in Denver to see our daughter and help her with bringing her new house up to date, but of course, we will be doing some sightseeing. The weather was a bit chilly the first couple of days, and instead of venturing out in the cold, we decided to check out the Wildlife Drive … Continue reading Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge
It feels good to be on the road again! We are finally able to cross the border so we left the ex hostages behind to fend for themselves and headed west to reunite with our daughter after three years. The crossing to Michigan was uneventful and the border guard showed very little interest in our … Continue reading It’s Been So Long!
Every Wednesday and Saturday, year round, Sarnia's Farmers' Market opens its doors. It's a busy place in in the summer, but even in November, when we visited, there was some hustle and bustle. Sarnia is surrounded by water and farmland. Just the other day we drove by mounds of what looked like potatoes, but at … Continue reading Sarnia’s Farmers’ Market
