Sunday, May 9, 2010. Two weeks in Europe. The world has so many wonderful places to visit. Recently, Janice and I went to The Mediterranean for a visit. It was Belissima! Wednesday, April 14th, 2010. We drove to Montreal and hopped on a Swiss Air flight to Barcelona Spain, with a quick little stop in Zurich Switzerland. On the plane, we had a hint of what the next two weeks held in store, with chocolate filled croissants, and complimentary little bars of Swiss chocolate. First performed on May 19, 1929 d...

Life Is Good: August 2010

http://misterpetesworld.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 24, 2010. One more step in a greener direction. I love cycling. It's another one of those win - win things . I get exercise, sunshine and fresh air, while NOT using a gasoline powered vehicle for my transportation needs. By the way - if you ever get the chance to see the movie "Who Killed The Electric Car" - I'd recommend it. After seeing it, my view of gasoline and automobiles changed completely . Today I am off to get groceries by bicycle. Sunday, August 15, 2010. I have fond memories o...

Life Is Good: September 2010

http://misterpetesworld.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 5, 2010. The city of bridges. Every once in a while I get a hankering to return to the city of my birth. It's not a big city, but it's friendly, down to earth and real. It's a town with a nice, easy, warm vibe. Something draws me back here . if I don't drop by every once in a while, I get a yearning to return. Maybe there is something comforting about revisiting one's childhood. Of course it's wonderful to visit with relatives that still live here . I miss them, and think of them of...

Sunday, October 10, 2010. I am very fortunate. Life is good these days. I live in a lovely house, in a wonderful neighbourhood, in an excellent city, in the best country in the world. Our standard of living gives us cleanliness, safety, healthcare, resources and support systems . we've got it pretty good. Imagine escaping from a country where struggle, poverty and war are constant challenges; and landing in Canada, where freedom allows us to enjoy all that we have. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life Is Good: March 2011

Saturday, March 12, 2011. Getting to Know A Little More of Ottawa. Since moving here, it's been a pretty fun adventure getting aquatinted with O Town. I have made an effort to get out and get familiar with the city, and can say that I know the city pretty well by now. One of the nicest parts of the city is Byward Market. The many vendors, shops, restaurants and bars here make this area a highlight of Ottawa well worth visiting. This little place is simple and charming, and I'd go back again just for anot...

Life Is Good: Europe 2013

http://misterpetesworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/europe-2013.html

Saturday, August 10, 2013. Tuesday, July 16. We drove to Montreal from Ottawa and used the Park and Fly near the airport. Talk about small world . I bumped into a teacher I worked with at my school . Holly Taylor, who was heading off to Cuba. The six hour time difference between Montreal and Paris can throw you for a loop . it's a good thing we have taken this into account and scheduled some adjustment time into our travel schedule. On the overseas flight I watched the movie "Life of Pi" . Once you enter...

Sunday, April 11, 2010. Recently Janice and I created a "Friends and Family" photo gallery on a wall here at our place. We'ed been meaning to do it for a while, and finally rounded up the pictures and mounted them. It's nice to have a gallery, in a prominent place where we can be reminded of people in our lives, past and present. Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, my step daughters, nieces, nephews, close friends and even a few reminders of ourselves from years ago. Saturday, April 3, 2010. Good ...

Saturday, March 27, 2010. This week, the principal of the school that I have been working at on a temporary basis asked to see me in her office. She told me that the school wanted to have me there for the balance of the year . she'd had a lot of positive feedback, and hoped I could join the staff until the end of June. The class I work with is a great group of five / sixes. I spend much of my time with one student, but also assist with the rest of the class when possible. Wherever possible I share as man...
