In search of a good Canadian bourbon. I’ve made my bottle of Bullet last 1.5 years but it’s time to replace. 🥃 American bourbon is not an option. Suggestions welcome please!

Benefits of Being a U. S. State: 1) No universal healthcare. 2) Your kids get shot at in school. 3) You get no disaster relief if you didn’t vote for the malignant crazy person in the Oval Office. 4) Get diarrhea from your food. Think long and hard before saying “no” to such a utopia, Canada!

It was a beautiful day for a hike to Peden Lake… an opportunity to swim in the lake AND in the river was a great way to cool off!

I baked brownies to avoid doing work on a Sunday. But they’re not very good. So now I’m behind on work and can’t even brag about my baking.

We’ve been working on the final touches in our kitchen reno over the holidays. After tiling the backsplash ourselves, we are so close to 100% complete and so happy with how it’s looking! #DIY #homereno #newkitchenwhodis
Our kitchen before the renovation. Good condition but also a time capsule of 1994.Demolition gave us some unexpected extra work but we got through it.New kitchen!
