Summer recap

2016/10/20 Karen 0 comment

The reason why I haven’t posted in so long is largely related to having no well-functioning camera. Then summer ended with the fall of the PT Cruiser and three weeks of car shopping.

This is an amalgamation of bits of things we did, but it doesn’t capture what stands out. When I think of how time flew by, I think of going for a quick swim every afternoon and spending a lot of time watering the garden.

Sage’s thirteenth

2016/09/26 Karen 4 Comments

We celebrated Sage’s birthday with pumpkin-blueberry-banana pancakes. I knew she knew they were for her when she laid at my feet while I was cooking. Both dogs devoured them, I hope it won’t add too much to their girths.

Why no present on the momentous occasion of Sage becoming a teenager? Because Canadian Tire was all sold out of decoy mallards and that’s all she really wanted. We will check back later this week.
