Finding Our Way Home
(October 4, 2011) - Rev. Hannah Lee
Dear friends, For the first decade of my life, I knew where my home was. If someone asked where my home was, my answer was simple. Home was in Toronto. It was the place of my birth, the place where I rode my first tricycle, made tree houses and snow forts with my best friend, and had family barbe
And Now… Exploding Watermelon!
(May 17, 2011) - The Team
These days you watch in horror at some of the 'food stories' coming out of China.Though not as serious as the recent infant deaths due to melamine in baby formula, a new story out of Jiangsu province makes you wonder whether anything coming out of China these days is safe.In an attempt to pr
A Leap of Faith
(April 16, 2011) - Lynne Frank
"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!" I love this saying,.. but now, being of sounder mind, (OK, don't choke!), and responsible for the future of me and mine, I try hard to plan ahead. This 'living for the moment' thing, this 'b
Every Day is Earth Day
(April 13, 2011) - Mark W. Law
April 22nd is Earth Day 2011 and for one day of the year we pay homage to our embattled planet. And then, like Christmas or Easter Sunday, the next day we are back to driving our gas guzzlers, tossing Timmy-cups out the window at 90 kmh and generally creating the same gi-normous carbon footprint we
Snow Shovelling Is NOT For the Faint of Heart
(December 14, 2010) - The Team
It's day whatever of many snowdays this winter, the kids are inside slowly (or not so slowly) coming down with a case of 'cabin fever' and you long to jump in the car and just drive - anywhere, even to the post office or market.Before you head out in the car there is that monstrous pile
Save Energy This Winter!

Now that the leaves are falling Old Man Winter is surely around the corner. Becky Striepe, sustainable living expert at Care2.Com has some great ideas on how to save energy this winter. Get a Draft Dodger: Nope, I’m not talking about avoiding military service. Draft dodgers are filled fabric
Autumn in Teeswater
(September 24, 2010) - Rev. Hannah Lee
Dear friends,Autumn is one of my favourite seasons of the year. The vibrant hues of red and orange transform our landscape as leaves start to change colour, and pumpkins appear on our doorsteps. While it means the end of our warm summer months, it is also the start of something new and different. It
Dandelion Wine
(May 21, 2010) - Lynne Frank
Just another reason why I like those pretty yellow things! It's been a while since we put down a batch, but it's a bit of a novelty when you have friends over for a glass. Challenge some kids to pick the flower heads the fastest! No greens unless you want some leaves for a
What Would Erma Do?
(February 19, 2010) - Lynne Frank
I'm good at procrastinating. I didn't give it up at New Years, and I'm not going to for lent either.. I do, however, when my back is against the wall, when I know enough is enough, give in and 'get that job done'! So, today, for the first time in what appears to be since about late-August, I clea
Stay Warm on Cold Days
(January 11, 2010) - The Team
What luxury it would be to be like the birds and head for warmer climes at the first hint of snow! Sadly, for most of us that is economically impossible, almost as impossible as staying indoors until the crocuses start to peek out in April. But what to do to stay warm on cold days? If you see
Alcohol and Cold Weather A Bad Cocktail
() - The Team
Lying in bed at 4 a.m. listening to snowmobiles roaring around the track at the Teeswater Fairgrounds makes me a bit nervous, wondering what folks are doing up at this time of night - and what 'fuel' they have onboard to help keep their machine running. According to the University of Iowa College
Bread Machine Cinnamon Buns
(December 14, 2009) - The Team
I like cooking from basic ingredients, none of this open a package and add water for me thank you very much. But I also love gadgets, which puts the bread machine at the top of the technology evolution ladder for me. This weekend I was casting about for a cinnamon bun recipe when I came across
