What does a Garden Gnome do when she is not gardening, in the kitchen or doing genealogy? Well the answer might just surprise you so read the entries to find out more. This blog focuses on everything we do to make our house a home. There will be a strong emphasis on home energy efficiency and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. At the same time there will also be crafts, knitting and crocheting projects along with any other little tips we do to create that down to earth, I want to be here home. Please enjoy your visit :)

Merry Christmas
I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile but will be back to normal for the new year. We spent October at our vacation home, then back home for almost three weeks, returning to our vacation home for five weeks. We made the 1207 mile journey home for Christmas arriving Monday night, leaving us only Christmas Eve to finalize our holiday shopping, restock on groceries and deck the halls for our family gathering on Boxing Day (December 26). The kids and grandkids will stay for a couple of days then when they leave it is prep time for another large gathering on the 28th. 'Tis indeed a very busy and hectic time for us, but we are very blessed!
May the peace, joy and magic of the holiday season be with you and yours today! It is not what is found under the tree, but in the warm smiles and loving words of the people around us. Merry Christmas!

We Remember
I come from a strong military family with ancestors that were instrumental in shaping the history of Canada. I grew up surrounded by relatives who had fought for this country. Some of them made the ultimate sacrifice and while they are no longer here they live forever in our memories. If this video does not bring tears to your eyes, nothing will. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we honour our fallen with 2 minutes silence from shore to shore of our great nation, Canada. Please join our nation in showing our respect and how thankful we are for enjoying the freedom they fought so hard for.
