Canada’s Oldest Chinatown – Jebus Mews & Andrea

Ellms Farm Pumpkin Glow Drive Through November 16, 2021

“How many kids are with you tonight?” The staff at check in asked. A bit awkward we answered, “Us, 3 adults.” Then started laughing. Vic and I like our spooks and scares, haunted houses every October is our thing. Our friend doesn’t really like the scary stuff so we did the pumpkin drive through which […]

Lake George November 11, 2021

We’re very lucky in the state of New York. We have the city down state, beautiful beaches on Long Island, and vast wilderness upstate. Lake George is a large lake that’s 3 miles wide and 32 miles long. The water is pretty clear and clean too. We breathed some of the cleanest air we’ve ever […]

Saratoga Springs November 4, 2021

Woohoo! Our first trip in 2 years! We decided to stay local and not fly because we weren’t sure how things would turn out when we planned this trip back in Feb 2021. I’ve been curious about Saratoga Springs, NY since forever (maybe 20 years) and early October 2021 was the right time. Saratoga is […]

Halloween in Bay Ridge October 30, 2021

Halloween is one of our favorite times of year. Our neighbors are quite festive and we’d like to spread the spooky cheer! I had to text our local friend because we really don’t remember our neighbors being this festive. She said that over the years the displays keep getting bigger and bigger. This actually helps. […]

Oaxaca October 17, 2020

Oaxaca (pronounced wa-HAH-kah) wasn’t even on our travel radar, in fact we really wanted to go hiking in Canada but decided we’ve been putting off visiting friends in Oaxaca long enough. How did we learn of Oaxaca, Mexico? My friends are retired and have been wintering there for the last few years. Not knowing how […]

Jebus Mews: Studies of Dr. Chewie June 27, 2020

Subject B & Subject C – The Humans Have Been Broken It has been 2 years since I published a piece. I took time off to dedicate myself to my experiment of withholding affection. My post from June 9, 2018 was the beginning. Things have evolved quite a bit actually; maybe even backfired a little. […]

Victoria’s Chinatown is the oldest in Canada on Vancouver Island and it’s the second oldest in North American after San Francisco’s. Continue reading →
