I've got an audiobook recommendation for you! Now let me preface this by saying, I really don't like most audiobooks? As soon as someone starts talking in complete sentences (as one does when they are reading a book out loud), I tune out. I love listening to podcasts, but I just can't…

As soon as someone starts talking in complete sentences (as one does when they are reading a book out loud), I tune out. I love listening to podcasts, but I just can't concentrate on someone reading me a book. But I heard a recommendation for this one, and the review won me over.

I waited until the day of to do all of my baking.

Whistler, again!
What a year - I'm just back from Whistler for my third time this year! I was in Whistler with my team at work - or 6 of us from our team anyway! It's been well over a year since we had a meetup and I didn't realize just how long overdue it was. And the timing was incredible,…

Beardmore’s Postmark
When I was travelling around the country on the second half of my sabbatical, I aimed to send Jeff a postcard every single day. It was a steep goal, that I didn't reach, but I just counted at least 22 postcards in a stack on our counter. Not bad!? We were flipping through them…

It’s been a super lazy week

Reflecting on my road trip
I drove 15,590 km over the last two months. That’s a lot of kilometres of deep thoughts. I drafted various versions of summarizing my deep thoughts about it all, but it is all so personal, I can't word it in such a way that makes for good reading. At the core of it…

Lots of wildlife today
Today would have been even better if I did it over 3 days instead of just 1. But this time of year, there is no where to stop to camp so I knew I was going to have to go all the way to Liard River Provincial Park. Right away, when leaving Fort St. John, there was a big buck…

First days of school
I’ve spent the week at my sister’s new house, getting her hot tub set up (it came with the house they just bought), helping get the kids off to their first day of school, and shopping with my mom. Here are some of the highlights! Their new place has a huge back deck where we…

Here are some of the highlights! Their new place has a huge back deck where we can eat outside! I love it!

2 in 1, and we aren’t camping!
2 blogs in 1 because I was too absorbed by Little House on the Prairie to blog last night! Yesterday we woke up in Ivanhoe after a cool clear night. Oh the stars!!! And the tent was DRY! We packed the tent AND the tent rain fly in the original tent bag! That hasn’t…

We packed the tent AND the tent rain fly in the original tent bag! That hasn’t happened too often! The road from Matheson, through Timmins, to Chapleau and Wawa is in great shape and not busy at all.

Bye, for now, Esker Lakes
We packed up this morning and it wasn’t raining! Windy though! It was a cold night but we were in the tent for about 12 hours and slept ok! The guys who rolled in last night, nearby, were up at 4:20 and made noise until they rolled out at 7:30. They kept starting their…

The guys who rolled in last night, nearby, were up at 4:20 and made noise until they rolled out at 7:30. They kept starting their car so I’m guessing they were cold and wet.

Today it rained. All day.
When I booked two nights for us at Esker Lakes, I imagined us renting a canoe or a peddle boat and doing a hike or two. We eyed up the equipment yesterday! But instead I woke up with more of a cold, blowing green stuff out of my nose, and it rained all day. With a high of…

Polar bears, and I’m back in Esker Lakes Provincial Park!
I don’t know what happened to all the rain bands on the radar last night, but every one of them missed us! We woke up to a dry tent! I was up a few times overnight. My tonsils are really sore and we’re making me prone to snoring in almost…

I don’t know what happened to all the rain bands on the radar last night, but every one of them missed us! We woke up to a dry tent! I was up a few times overnight. My tonsils are really sore and we’re making me prone to snoring in almost every position. I also heard a raccoon chittering away right behind our tent.
