Happy Birthday & Happy Mother’s Day
First Vacation Abroad
Travel has been my dream & in two weeks we’ll be making our first trip abroad! Family & friends ask why I chose London & Paris? My choice was heavily influenced by favorite authors ranging from the Bronte sisters to Catherine Cookson & modern Katie Fforde. And I look forward to visiting Chaucer’s Canterbury. Historical [...]
Halibut Fishing in Victoria, BC
My husband & I have always talked about going salt water fishing. We never went in Hawaii because the seas were so rough. We thought that the straight just out of Victoria would be calmer. Here are photos of our adventure led by Adrian O’Connor of Reel Obsession.

Leaving the Blizzard Behind
Working remotely is a great thing. I didn’t mind giving up the 30 minute commute 2 times per day. And because we have 6 months of snow, it’s easy to work from home.But this also means that when I do travel for work, it’s more like a jaunt. My first trip to the ACDSee offices [...]
Going offline for a week
My writing here has been quiet because I’ve been really busy. My sister & I have had our website for just over a year & we’ve never left it unattended. And I usually try to stay online when I travel, so this is a first.
Over the past month I’ve been training in a team & [...]

Financial Planning
As 2008 begins many people have resolutions. As we head into the income tax season here are my thoughts on financial planning. And I’m not all about money. My first job was with the federal government & I left that when my daughter was born to teach. Then I worked in a public library system [...]
