I know I haven’t blogged lately, but moving house and a pretty active social calendar has kept me busy.
Now, speaking of the new house. We are so happy to finally be in a home of our own. Yippee – no more renting. Home ownership just feels so much better. We love the house, and as [...]
Our move will be here before we know it. While many of you know, we’ve had an interesting journey to home ownership, but it seems we’re on track to move into our new home at the end of September or mid-October. Not long now!

From the very first contact, they were friendly, professional, quality conscious and [...]
I’m sitting here on the stairs of my now empty house. And by “my” I mean this in the very fleeting sense. In just over two hours, it won’t be mine anymore. I’ve done the walk from room to room. There are many memories that hang in the air, that have seeped into the walls. [...]
Hi my name is Mr. Briggs (okay it’s just Briggs, but people just keep adding the Mr. to it so it stuck over the years).
When I was really young I had a pretty scary experience that made me pretty sick, but I pulled through, mostly thanks to the great people at Golden Retriever Rescue. They [...]
I’ve been accused of being an uber-list maker. Guilty as charged. You just can’t undertake a project of this magnitude without one (okay, who am I kidding? without a dozen or so!)
