Random thought...Let's imagine that I start making moonshine in my garage. Now of course there are laws in place and it is against federal law to distill hard alcohol (even for personal consumption) without a license. This prohibits me from legally making moonshine, but it really isn't that difficult to do. All of the ingredients … Continue reading The Difference?

The Forest
The sky was grey but at least today it was just grey – without the slight green tint that it so often had lately. The weather man rated today a 472 on the Copeview scale - not bad - A pleasant day for the family outing. Ron loved taking his grandson out exploring and sightseeing … Continue reading The Forest

Conspiracy 101 – use your tin wisely
Lately the subject of "tinfoil hats" has come to my attention a few times so I feel it is necessary to help dispell some inaccuracies that are common around their construction. Whether it's 5G networks, mind control rays, chemtrails, space lasers or any of a number of other conspiracies against you (the list is endless … Continue reading Conspiracy 101 – use your tin wisely

After a brief discussion, I learned that there are people who change out their cushions to match the colours or themes of the seasons and holidays throughout the year. This got me thinking about our humble couch and I realized that … Continue reading Seasonal Pillows

One of the biggest changes we have made is to transform our spare bedroom into a giant walk in closet, or “dressing room”. We opened up the wall to make it … Continue reading Hangin’ Around

Social Distance
So many things have been taken for granted for a long time. Maybe you should have visited that old friend. (But you were just so tired after work) Maybe you should have taken your significant other to that movie. (But it was just so late to stay up) Perhaps you should have been a little … Continue reading Social Distance
