If we were having coffee, we would be sitting outside on the terrasse at Tim Hortons. The sun would be shining, but it would still be nice and cool. I would be waiting with a folder on the table in front of me, and as you arrive, I would eagerly push the folder towards you to have a look. Inside you

If we were having coffee, I would have to apologize for the late hour. I don’t normally drink coffee this late on a Saturday night. Maybe it will be a black decaf tonight. We’ll also switch the venue from the usual favorite, Tim Hortons, to one of those dimly lit cafés with lots of comfy couches and a gas fireplace.

If we were having coffee, we would be sitting on the dock, just like last week. Last week was a nice sunny morning, but today dark clouds are looming on the horizon. The wind is blowing, and it will probably start to rain soon. However, for the moment, the clouds have not reached us, and there is still sunlight shining on

Yesterday, the wifey and I went for a hike on Mount Orford, near Magog, Quebec. I really like hiking. It is a great workout, and it gets you out in nature. I had my Fitbit tracking the hike, and those badges were really rolling in! First came a Happy Hill badge (10 floors), then a Redwood Forest (25 floors), Lighthouse (50 floors),

Well, given that I am out in nature, let’s chat about the unseen in the wilderness… About 11 years

Today we spent some time around in the nearby town of Knowlton, Quebec. It is a very small town, with a lot of shuttered up stores (and no LEGO, at least not that I could find). But, it has a long history. We ate lunch at a place called The Relais, which is the restaurant inside of the local hotel, the Auberge Knowlton.

So, we arrived at the cottage yesterday in the late morning, and then it rained on and off through the afternoon and evening. This morning it was nice when we first got up, and then in rained on and off for the rest of the day. We did get to enjoy our morning coffee outside, and it has cleared up

My LEGO blog is going to change gears for the next couple of weeks. This morning, the wifey and I packed up and hit the road for our vacation. We have rented a cottage with the in-laws out on a little lake. My usual LEGO posts will be taking a back burner until I am back in civilization, and I
