Columbus Public Library Stop Before Canfield Ohio

We're at the Columbus Metropolitan Library. The children's section is great! Fiona is having a blast. We were able to obtain a guest pass to use the wireless for internet access.

Now we just need to find a place to stay overnight before landing in Philadelphia on Saturday. It ends up that so far none of our [...]

A Year Ago Today We Left Roseville California

A year ago today we left Roseville California to head to Montreal. It's been quite a year. We've driven through a lot of states and stayed with lots of interesting people.

What have we learned? For one thing, I don't want to live in a big city ever again. I don't want to move back to California. [...]

A Virtual Success!

Last August we held an event for virtual assistants in Vancouver British Columbia while house sitting in the area.

House Sitting in Minnesota with Two Boxers, Three Cats and One Homeschooler

We've been house sitting in Saint Paul for about 10 days and have about 10 days to go.  Our host is on vacation in Europe and has two boxers and three cats that needed to be cared for. It's actually not that hard. The boxers are very friendly and most obedient. It was a challenge one [...]

Morning Tea Routine - A Little Taste of Home

Joel and I are not coffee drinkers usually. We do have a morning cup of tea - every morning. It's our daily morning routine. It was reinforced in 2005 when we went to Ireland and had Irish breakfast tea every morning. Actually throughout the day. Since we've come to Minnesota I'm finding I want tea throughout [...]

A Playground for Fiona and Morning Glory for Sue

We're currently staying in St. Paul Minnesota in a nearly 100-year old home. Right outside the window are morning glories. I've loved morning glories since I was a kid and always hoped to have some of my own. Now I do for a few weeks while house sitting.

Diagonally right across the way is a playground. [...]
