Our little town of Chelsea has grown over the 11 years (11 years!!!) we’ve lived here. In 2006, there were some 4,000 people — now it’s a bustling town of some 11,000 residents. Sometimes, it seems all 11,000 people are on County Road 47 at the same time. For the past few years, Chelsea has […]

winter wonderpoop
Over the past week the weather has been taking us through the emotional wringer with constant threats of snow, none of which ever materialized. Our latest and greatest chance was yesterday. Thankfully, I never mentioned to the kids that it might snow, so they were none the wiser when all it did was rain all […]
snowpocalypse

I’ve got my ticket, do you? __________________________________ It’s getting close to Thanksgiving, too. Thanksgiving is my sister’s favourite holiday, but I view […]
