Quilt Diary: Two Step Quilt
Hi Adventurers:
As I mentioned in my earlier quilt post this month, my goal is to finish a quilt I made using a jelly roll and Jenny Doan’s (MSQC) two step block. I liked the block and pulled out a jelly roll to make it with no intentions other than to try out the block. My daughter Caitlin passed onto me that my brother was hoping I would make him a quilt too. In 2017, I made my sister Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Two Step Quilt”
Travel Diary: Air Canada
Hello Adventurers:
Just wrapping up my Montreal trip with the long day we had on Wed, Jan 3rd trying to get home. This is the second trip I have used Air Canada (as well as my second trip to Canada).

Travel Diary: Montreal Dec 2017 (part 3)
Hi Adventurers!
Today we took the train to the Olympic Park. It is still nippy out there -4F/-20C right now at 6pm. Luckily there are a few indoor choices at the Olympic Park so we decided on the Biodome and Planterium. It only took us 3-4 hours to do both plus a 50 minute train ride each way from Snowden, that ended up being Continue reading “Travel Diary: Montreal Dec 2017 (part 3)”
Travel Diary: Montreal Dec 2017 (part 2)
Hi Adventurers!
We had a relaxing day today here in Montreal. Of course we hit up our local Starbucks for a caffeine hit. In the afternoon, we decided to hit up another rock climbing gym called Zero Gravite located about a 15 minute walk from the Mont Royal train stop. I can’t believe I am Continue reading “Travel Diary: Montreal Dec 2017 (part 2)”
