http://macpurdys.blogspot.com/2011/08/gramma-sadie.html
Saturday, August 13, 2011. The kids and I left for Montreal last Saturday and did the 14hour drive to Antigonish.Darryl's home town. We stayed the night with his parents and then headed to Mabou.my hometown.on Sunday morning. I was in a hurry to get home as my Gramma Sadie (turning 96 in September! Thank you for sharing your many talents with us. Many of us have mastered the "Scrabble" board and improved our playing skills simply from listening to you say, "Are you going to challenge me? Thank you for al...

MacPurdys: January 2011
http://macpurdys.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. A bit of our Canadian Winter. Yes, it's getting colder now! We can't complain, the winter has been great so far. But, the last 2 days have been cold and it will only get colder! But, we're enjoying the winter and are getting ourselves organized for a little day on the slopes. We hope! We've had lots going on the past month. From playdates with friends. To ice skating outdoors. To preparing for Christmas. Loved our tree by the way. To highland dancing for seniors. I'm really ha...

MacPurdys: December 2011
http://macpurdys.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. I was warned by my mother to get some pics of the house on the blog! And the first pic that I post is super dark! Sorry but I didn't really look at the pictures until I downloaded them and now I'm too lazy to start again. So, it will have to do for now. Maybe it will hide some of the mess! You can click on the pic Mama if you want to make it bigger). We're still unpacking and need a few things (like a dining set and a bed for downstairs) but we're getting there. We desperately...

Viva Shaghai: Day 10: Datong
http://vivashanghai.blogspot.com/2006/03/day-10-datong.html
Share the adventure of the People's Republic of China. Friday, March 10, 2006. After buying tickets for the Beijing night train (91 RMB), Tessa and I ate a sumptuous lunch at a high-end local restaurant (86 RMB) where the staff were particularly keen to practice their English. It is safe to say that whatever the people of Datong lack in English skills, they certainly make up for in effort and perseverance. Long may it continue. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Viva Shaghai: Day 12: Beijing
http://vivashanghai.blogspot.com/2006/03/day-12-beijing.html
Share the adventure of the People's Republic of China. Sunday, March 12, 2006. Determined to see more of Beijing, Tessa and I set out to explore a selection of the local sites. Starting on the hip Dajong street, we browsed many of the trendy boutiques, before moving on to Beijing’s famous Silk Market. Similar to Shanghai’s Xiangyang market, Beijing’s bazaar is flooded with counterfeit goods, ranging from Gucci and Prada to Nike and Adidas. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://vivashanghai.blogspot.com/2006/03/day-20-beijing.html
Share the adventure of the People's Republic of China. Monday, March 20, 2006. In contrast to the rest of our adventure, our final day was spent in the relative comforts of an airport hotel. A far cry from the ancient sites of the last few weeks, we certainly enjoyed a day of idleness before returning to Shanghai. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Viva Shaghai: Day 14: Angkor
http://vivashanghai.blogspot.com/2006/03/day-14-angkor.html
Share the adventure of the People's Republic of China. Tuesday, March 14, 2006. Waking for the best buffet breakfast that we have ever tasted, Tessa and I bought our Angkor passes ($40 each) and, led by our wonderful guide, made our way in to the Cambodian jungle. Located in Northwestern Cambodia, the temples of Angkor, built by the Khmer civilization between 802 and 1220 AD, represent one of humankind's most astonishing and enduring architectural achievements.

Share the adventure of the People's Republic of China. Saturday, March 11, 2006. Exhausted from the Beijing night train, Tessa and I collapsed in our hotel, rising only for food and football, for unbeknown to me; we were staying next door to a football bar.
