Declutter Challenge

Q is helping me with a declutter challenge. Every day this month we are getting rid of more and more items. It was one item on day one, two items on day two, and so on. By the end of January, we will recycle, give away, donate, or throw away 465 items in total! We are a little behind (half way through day 19). Wish us luck!

Season's Greetings

New Colin is celebrating the holidays with SN on the west coast. The Quatchis and I were up at Blue Mountain to spend time with my dad's side of the family.

Wishing everyone a festive holiday season with all the trimmings!

Sunday @ The AGH

Buddy had a really great afternoon at the Art Gallery of Hamilton on Sunday! He wrote a letter using a typewriter at "The Living Room" exhibit...

...learned about Ken Danby...

...saw a bunch of paintings from Canadian artists...

...including some colourful contemporary art...

...and loved checking out this futuristic diaroma!

AGH exceeded our expectations. If you're in the area, we would recommend you check it out!

Name that City

Clem went on her first international trip last weekend! Can you guess where she is?

Shopping Spree

Clem joined B and I on a shopping trip. The goal was to buy a wallet for B's dad. We were a bit distracted when we got to the mall. Isn't this purse fitting for our sweet Clem?

Clem was super snazzed when she saw these fun accessories. She wanted to touch everything. She suggested the Karl wallet for B's dad, but we ended up going for something more classic.

Happy Mail

Sending a special THANK YOU to our quatchtastic friend, Sophia, who sent us a great life update! The Quatchis are so happy to hear you are well! Take care!

Fro-back

Found this funny photo of Colin on my phone.

Who knew he would look so good with hair!

Welcome, Clementine!

Monster Factory is having a monster sale! We are so happy that Clementine was available! She arrived today safe and sound. Welcome, Clementine!

In Hamilton

Bernie and Dumbo have been spending time in Hamilton with B. Today they spent the afternoon sitting by the window watching the world go by. There were lots of people moving in and out of neighbouring apartment buildings. Bernie and Dumbo occasionally took a peach break. We picked some up from the farmers' market and they were super sweet!

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

Mansions, Oh My!

There are several mansions to tour in Newport. We visited the following:

1. The Elms 

2. Chateau-sur-Mer

3. The Breakers

4. Marble House

5. Rosecliff

Many of these mansions were summer "cottages", used by wealthy families for only eight to twelves weeks a year. The mansions now belong to the Preservation Society of Newport County. They are worth checking out!
