Detroit

I just arrived in Windsor, ON today and will be living out of the Radisson for the next 12 nights.

My room is on the 19th floor and I thought I'd share the view I have of Detroit.

Cucumbers Anyone?

Mom is OK, No Surgery Required

Mom is okay. The surgeon here in Halifax doesn't think she needs surgery. Her arm will be placed in a sling and after a week they will check to see her shoulder is healing appropriately. She has left the hospital.

98 Dom Perignon

This past week Sarah and I took a week of vacation to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. To me it feels as if we lost a year and it was last summer our friends and family came together to celebrate our love, not the summer before. Some reading might think "2 years..pffft...thats nothing", it was a fun celebration none-the-less. We watched whales and fine dined in Saint Andrews, we jet-skied on First Eel River lake, played soccer with the pros (our nieces), watched fire works, partied in Shinimicas, visited our grand parents, a baby was born (not ours), and drank a 12 year-old champagne while, inadvertently and coincidentally, celebrating my sister's new home. We even had an unexpected visit with some aunts and uncles which we enjoyed very much. Tonight is the end though. Tomorrow is chore day, and the day after back to work we go. We enjoyed every minute of it and appreciated the time we spent with our friends and family. Here are a few photos of the champagne which closed out this campaign. The cork is deep in our woods.

ShimmyStock 2010

Over the weekend we celebrated the annual ShimmyStock. Here are the photos:



Also, here are pictures from my garden when I arrived home yesterday:

Happy 95th Birthday Grampy!

Sarah and I would like to send out a Happy Birthday to my Grandfather as he turns 95 today. 100 is just around the corner!

This is a picture of my Uncle Kencil and my Grandfather putting up a wind turbine at my parents place a year and a half ago. Kencil just had a birthday yesterday, so from Sarah and I, Happy 65th!

Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog. For the past year or so I've been maintaining a political blog (link to the right) and every once in awhile when something interesting happened to Sarah and I, I'd post it there. This didn't serve as good medium for us to share parts of our lives as it would be mixed in with a jumble of political posts that most people we know would rather avoid.

So welcome to The World Is Furlong. This blog serves as a place for Sarah and I to share our going-ons, no matter how little, and definitely when its big. We might put up a post of a new recipe we've tried or a new place we've visited. We'll definitely put up a post when there is big news like having a baby or buying a house.
