This summer we’re determined to get out of town at least a couple of times for short vacations. The first will be in a week or two, just a few days up in Halifax to get away, and then hopefully later in the summer we’ll get to go for a longer trip, maybe PEI [...]

We finally have some computers set up for the tourists this summer. For many years now we have been sending them to the library, but since we do have so many computers and monitors laying around the store why not put them to good use? It wouldn’t be as lucrative as the [...]

One way or another, we are taking some vacation time this summer! Something always comes up whenever we plan to take some time off, but this summer we are going somewhere, somehow, even if it means closing the store completely for a week. Most likely we’ll spend a few days in the Halifax [...]

Not even 2 weeks into the school year and Chloe got to go on her first class trip already. The Wallace Brothers Apple farm was the destination, about 20 minutes out of town, so they all got to ride on the school bus. Both primary classes went together with several chaperons and had [...]

When I went to Asia, as with any trip to a foreign country, I had to bring back lots of little gifts for friends and family members. One that stands out in my mind is a Nike pocket watch I got for my brother. He can’t wear a regular wrist watch because he [...]

We’ve been pretty faithful to the Econo Lodge Comfort Inn in Bedford whenever we go up to Halifax. It’s in a good location given the places that we want to go, about 10 minutes from all 3 of our destinations. But I think next time we go up we’re going to try the [...]

Moving can be a very stressful thing, everything has to be planned out well in advance and it feels like it takes forever with all the packing, sorting, moving and unpacking again. I’ve never had to move more than 15 miles or so and can’t imagine what it would be like moving to a [...]
