Jasper Park Lodge We had a fabulous time in late February at this Fairmont Resort. Our plan was to visit earlier in the week, February 22-25 or so for a few nights, yet with work demands we had to put the trip on hold. We struggled with the idea of going for one night on the weekend, February 27-28, yet we are so happy we made the trip, especially since we recently said goodbye to Bella. The drive up from Edmonton was beautiful – clear…

Sewing: Week Twelve High-Waisted Mini-Skirt
High-waisted mini-skirt – a bit of an accident in the making, yet it’s one of my favourite pieces. I started this weeks sewing project with the goal of making a tank top using one of McCall’s simple patterns. No such luck. You can see below that my goal was simple and seemed easy – well, that’s until I made a critical error in twisting the strap. No way I was going to undo all the stitches and try again. I’d rather start over; and I…

Recipe: Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes
Gluten free buttermilk pancakes are good – so good they make Saturday mornings better. This is the second time in a week that I’ve done a recipe with Bob’s Red Mill products – I did gluten free pizza last Friday – and I have to say, it’s because his products are great. And, they are a wonderful company. Okay, back to the pancakes. I don’t follow the directions, my recipe is better. Let’s get started on making small cakes in a pan. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups…
