That one, over there, with the hair. Vagabond. Ruthless. Nomad. Andrea? Nothing like causing a healthy amount of mischief in the lives on one's loved ones. Wednesday, March 7. Anyway, I love it. And so, due to my love, you get to see more and more pictures of it :). This time around, I'm going to break down the process a bit for you :). I've been known to get a bit excited at this point. Evidence: giggles and smiling. Alexei dashing off on a non-trail. We didn't follow him, but laughed instead. You shoul...

Skiing Adventures in Gatineau Park. We four set out for the cabin on one lovely Thursday afternoon :). Tony, Natasha, and Alexei geared up and ready to go! We skied past some pretty sights. Gatineau is full of such loveliness :). We took the Lusk train, which was a nice short ski of about 6-7km. Here we are in the final lag. The sk...

The last of 2013. quite late, really. Well, it's been a while. here's a rapid, mostly photo-based catch up :). The last of 2013 has certainly been busy, but we've managed to have quite a bit of fun in between the chaos :). Feeling very Canadian :). We managed to catch just the start of the autumn colours. The usual suspects :).

Reid's Readings: April 2012

Elle by Douglas Glover. When I first started reading this book I hated it. I felt it was crass and rude. In favour of another book, I put aside Elle. Having only read about 10 pages. However, when it came to returning the book to the library, I hesitated and decided to give it another go. Basically, I was curious as to how this book could have won the Governor General's award. I'm certainly glad I did, because it turned out to be rather enjoyable! At the same time, whilst discrediting the brave and glori...

Reid's Readings: August 2012

http://reidsreadings.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

The Detour by Gerbrand Bakker. I had never heard of this book, which had recently been given to me. I started it immediately, not being particularly far or involved in the other book I was reading. Coming down with a cold and staying home from work for two days provided the perfect time frame for this book. Some gloomy weather outside further set the scene. Why did she shun the locals, whilst working hard to establish a beautiful garden at the house she was only renting? She did no work and seemed unconc...
