An offer - with no conditions? I did it when I bought my condo and later when my partner and I put an offer on our house. The scenario on the house purchase was: There was one other competing bid. It was for $100K more than ours but they had one condition: Furnace had to pass a WETT inspection. The house had a 100-year-old wood burning furnace so the WETT inspection did seem smart. We didn’t know what that was. Our naïveté …

Last minute chicken parm. Had some leftover tomato sauce. Decided to keep it light and bake instead of fry these. Would have also been great in the air fryer. What’s on the menu tonight? #shesitalian #letseat #whatsfordinner

It's been a while since I have been at Barrie's downtown library branch - but they have always offered a variety of great programming for residents of all ages - included young kids. Always loved this fun path up to the kid zone!

Then I air fry them til cooked and crispy and top them with chopped roasted red papers, red onion, capers, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. So so good! How do you enjoy calamari? Comment below 👇 #shesitalian #letseat #foodielove #whatsfordinner #welcometomytable

Here we go with this rocker from Glass Tiger. Their debut album The Thin Red Line was released in ‘86 and brings back so many great memories! Funny how that works!

OK, the NHL playoffs are finished and we (a Canadian team) did not win the Stanley Cup, again. It’s been since 1993 that the Cup travelled north, in the hands of Montreal Canadiens. Edmonton’s Oilers tried but lost to Florida Panthers this time. One could argue the Oilers regressed, losing in 6 games this spring instead of 7 games last year, to the same Panthers. It’s going to be another long summer for Canadian hockey fans, and the Oilers …

Remember Red Green? Also known as Canadian comedian Steve Smith. And his sidekick Rick Green (Adventures With Bill). If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. Or...keep your stick on the ice. Funny stuff. I guess you had to be there.
