Groceries
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Every Family has a
different method of grocery shopping; you would think my main goal would be to simply purchase food. Not so my friends it is to KEEP LACHLAN AWAY from all stores! Seeing
as we are thirty-five minutes to the closest Super-Store, a fifty minute drive
from the Health food store and an hour to Costco, lopping Lachlan into travel
and shopping, well let me just say our weekly grocery shopping brought out the ‘best
in me’! While living abroad we would
shop and take a years’ worth of dry goods into one shipment. I learnt exactly
what our families food needs were and decided to do the same thing here on
Canadian soil in hopes of avoiding the shops as much as possible. I ordered a years’
worth of dry goods from a distributer that supplies health food stores. By
buying bulk we cut our food costs which afforded room in our food budget to
purchase our meats organic and local, in which we bought bulk bringing the meat
cost down. A couple times a month Roger
and I buy the produce on our date night ultra-romantic,
I know! I store all the bulk food in our basement and restock my small kitchen
pantry when needed. It has been such a relief having all my foods on hand despite
the fact that it is an eye sore and most people wonder at my sanity!

Marriage on Wheels

Summer rolled into my yard this week
A year ago when we started talking of travel-trailering it
I pictured a beach cottage on wheels

Vintage Delights

The love of my life and banker in this so called holiday venture went slightly cross-eyed at the mention of white-scuffed cabinetry and rose patterned linen
Not only did he go crossed eyed but he ignored every idea I mentioned
He was thinking 'no fuss - no frills' mountain cabin on wheels
So I am giving up on my 'shabby' dreams (bellow pictures) and working on merging our two cottage/cabin dreams into
One happy marriage on wheels.
Lets see what I can come up with!

Silent Epic
Monday, January 16, 2012
It had been six weeks
since beauty fell from these northern skies.
Brown lied stark across
our land.
Then a wish was blown
frozen.
A silent epic dazzling from a thousand limbs
These crystals been the longing of my years on the equator
Winter wisps my awed prayers away!
