5-Day Housesit With Our REAL Grand-Fur Babies!

Of the many housesits we’ve completed during the past ten years the one we just completed today is extra special for a number of reasons. One, it's the first sit we’ve done for our daughter and son-in-law who live in Massachusetts and two, we spent the past five days with our real grand fur babies, Doug and Walter!

Clafoutis Recipe

Since changing our eating habits in early 2019 John's been on the lookout for recipes that complement this new way of life. One of our favourites is a sweet treat named Clafoutis. 

Winterlude: Ice Sculpture Competition

It's Winterlude in Ottawa (January 31 - February 17) and the Ice Sculpture competition took place on Sparks Street this past weekend. It drew contestants from around the world and throngs of onlookers. Sadly, we didn't make it downtown until today and as the temperature has hovered around and above the zero Celsius mark the past few days some melting has taken place. Nonetheless, we were thoroughly impressed by the creations.
