We don’t usually go away until November/December, but we’re sneaking an extra one in this year. June 18 we’ll be heading to this joint

Gran Bahia Principe Ambar, Punta Cana. Never been to the Dominican Republic before, so this will be a new adventure

He’s got a good point

Preach it, Jimmy. Lest we forget.

So we try to get away every year around November/December.. and this year is kinda special, as we’ll be celebrating my *cough*th birthday. Ok, so it’s not that special, but I’ve decided I want to turn 40 in another country. H1N1 be damned, we’re going to Mexico again. This year’s hot-spot is The Royal Playa del Carmen.

We leave November 13… which incidentally is a Friday. Nonetheless, I can’t wait!

4 months later….

LOL, I just realized my last entry was from April, in the throes of a major snow storm. I’m happy to say summer finally did arrive in southwest Ontario, and I’ve been enjoying every minute. We’ve been busy doing all the exterior landscaping projects we didn’t get a chance to do when we moved into the new house last fall. We’ve found that everything is dependent on waiting for something else to be done. They sodded 90% of our lot last fall, and stopped short a couple feet of our property line, and called it a season. Our neighbour’s house was still being built, and didn’t close until early spring. Of course, they weren’t graded on closing, so we had to wait for them to get graded before the rest of the sodding could get done. We had put up a make-shift chicken wire fence/dog-run off our back door for our dogs. So, we couldn’t do our back patio first like normal people, because we couldn’t take down the dog run until the yard was fenced. So with a little help from our friends, we built the Taj Ma Fence. That was one of those projects that got away on us, lol. Bigass 6×6 posts, and wrought iron toppers. Pics to follow. Luckily, both side neighbours and the people behind us are great, and there wasn’t much dickering over the property boundaries. But of course, the one guy we happen to share 8 INCHES of property with in back had to be the biggest dickhead of them all. Every neighbourhood has to have at least one, right?

So now the fence is up, a patio or deck is next up on the list. I’d like a stamped concrete patio over a deck, but it’s going to be an asspain with the fence, because nobody can get a bobcat through our 4′ gate. We’ll either have to temporarily remove an 8′ section of our fence, or just go the deck route. We haven’t decided.

I won’t even talk about my obsession with trees, and trying to decide the best kind to plant in the backyard.

I love our house, but NEVER AGAIN will I build in a new development. There’s just too much crap to wade through. But then, the next move I plan to make will be to our retirement home :p

Old Man Winter shat on the Easter Bunny

So this is the scene in the GTA this morning

Before we go any further, it’s important to note that it is APRIL 6. Just a few days away from Good Friday. There are unconfirmed reports that the Easter Bunny will not be making an appearance this weekend. He caught wind of what was going on over here, and hi-tailed it back to Bunnyland. The North Pole is in a state of confusion, and Santa, who has reportedly been suffering from early stages of Altzheimer’s, was spotted loading up the sleigh. This is not good.
