Just for Jim

Yes, yes, yes. I know the sporadic updates are irritating, but, c'mon. It's summer and my life just isn't that interesting. One reader in particular has been particularly verbose about their displeasure. So, for no particular reason (ahem) here is a post all about Jimmy! 

Now that it's almost September (GASP!)it seems like our N.B. adventure was about 7 years ago. That said, I have some very lovely memories of being there and hanging with the Higgys. 

Now, two of the things in this picture (below) rolled off the assembly line in 1946.  Can you guess which two?  And which one has aged better in your opinion??!


Ev, Poppa and an elderly yellow truck

Jimmy and Ev and I also had a jolly walk out to the lighthouse on one very windy day.  The waves were crazy and I thought we might just blow away.  Luckily, Poppa took action to ensure the lightest member of our party was safe.

Poppa and his G-D.  Is this an official fireman's hold?

Let's get a close-up of that glee!

And the lighthouse looking lovely, though it sorely needs a coat of paint.

So, there, finally is an update.  Poppa - we can't wait for you to get back to Ontario.  And we've heard through the grapevine how desperate and frantic you are to return too (insert heavy dose of sarcasm here)!  Let the countdown begin!

Happy Birthday Poppa!

Happy birthday to Jimmy!

Here's a birthday Haiku for you:

A cold walk with dogs
Porridge and a cup of tea
Get the sudoku

Pretty sure this is an a curate representation of your morning!

Thanks for being the best dad and poppa in the universe!

Poo with a view

> An inopportune time for Henry to fill his drawers, but a beautiful venue for a free-range diaper change. Note Poppa providing shade, Granny doing the dirty work, and Evy scoping the hike down to Duck Pond Beach.

> Only 2 more days in paradise (where other people change your kid's diapers!) Boooooo Hoooooooo!
