OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. LOOK AT THE GRUESOME SCENE THAT WE DISCOVERED ON OUR FRONT STEP LAST NIGHT. I guess the mystery of the missing gourds is solved – it’s a case of cannibalism! I don’t know WHO is responsible for this carnage, but a) I love it and b) I have my suspicions! […]
Dreams, Jeans, Go(u)rds, Thanksgiving; Eighty-Two Weeks In
October 11, 2021 by
Thanks and Giving Thank you to everyone who reached out with kind words last week. It does make things lighter to know that we aren’t alone. Today is Thanksgiving, for those of you not in Canada, and it is the first Thanksgiving in many years that we are not visiting my mother-in-law, which feels strange. […]

April 26, 2021 by

Boyhouse Year In Review 2020
December 30, 2020 by
WELL! I don’t think any of us could have possibly predicted the year that we just had, in any capacity. I would like to think that we will never take things for granted again: our health, our ability to travel, our friendships and family, but human nature being what it is, there will come a […]

December 28, 2020 by
Well, hello! I hope you are having a happy holiday season. I am at the very lovely point where I have consumed so many Christmas treats that I don’t actually want to eat any more Christmas treats. It’s nice to have that Completely Satisfied feeling, however: If anyone is wondering where all the chocolate is, […]
