We all went to Charlottetown to see Anne and Gilbert the Musical. We left quite early so we could do a “Secrets of Charlottetown” walking tour, and we left early for that, too, because we were still getting lost a lot as we drove around. When we got to Charlottetown, we thought we would … Read more
This week was all about sewing. Mommy needs some winter jumpers, so we went to our local fabric store to look for denim, and corduroy. I tried to get Mommy to buy me some of this cotton fabric so I could have a new dress, but when she checked the price, she said, “No way!” … Read more
One of the nicest things about being retired is that when the streets outside are rain soaked, and the skies force you to turn to artificial lighting the whole day through, you can change your plans on a whim. So, my winter coat languishes, half made, next to the sewing machine, but my little girls … Read more

Heidi says it is more comfortable, and she loves wearing it around the … Read more

Rain, rain and more rain! Auntie still walked the trail, but we waited at home in case she wanted to be picked up early. When the call came to go and get her, we chose to stay home, because we didn’t want to go out in all that rain. But then, Mommy and Auntie went … Read more
