Hello from shivery Churchville! Aren’t you happy with yourself when you have finally finished a project you have been working on for quite a while?  Gary and I have been co-authoring a book for over a year.  All the writing is done with a little more formatting needed. Then we can send it off to be printed.  Our dear friend, Dr. Warwick Cooper, from...

Happy New Year Everyone! Do you have any idea what the word “kainos” (pronounced “ki” as in kind and “nos” as in nostalgia) means?  It is the Greek word for “new.”  Gary and I own a business called Kainos Enterprises primarily for the sale of our various books plus any church consulting work.  We also have a charity called Kainos International...

Hi All! Do you happen to be a plogger?  You’ve never heard of it before?  Neither had Gary and me.  One day out walking and picking up garbage in Churchville which has become a somewhat regular pattern for us, we met up with two ladies jogging with their dogs.  Gary remarked to them that they pick up after their dogs and we pick up after humans.  One of the ladies...

As soon as Charlie bounced out of his cage the...

Greetings! I can’t believe what has been happening with my English Ivy. I planted it about ten years ago at the back corner of our Churchville home.

That may be one way to forgo exterior...

Happy Canada Weekend Everyone! “He stayed around until the last dog was hung!” I commented to our daughter Sara about a recent newcomer to our Milton church. Sara, laughingly exclaimed, “What are you saying?” She had never heard about dogs being hung. I will let you “Google” that idiom since I am writing this blog in our car. I’ve found the older we get the more...

Hello! Apparently a current trend is to look up one’s ancestral roots.  We gave into the advertising and so for a combo Valentine’s/birthday gift Gary purchased a DNA kit for me.  After a couple of months when a small but significant amount of my spit had travelled to Ireland where it was analyzed the results came back.  Gary retorted, “I told you you...
