I did not have to make any changes to my account, I did not have to make upgrades to my hardware or add any additional…

Time heals they say. The loss of our dear friend Brandy in the spring of 2024 has been difficult to move on from. There is something in our home that is missing, there is a piece missing that is needed to complete our home. Brandy was an important part of our family, that we could never replace.

Being Heard

One of the most difficult things of dealing with trauma is being heard, a brain injury is no different. Personal experience and training, lack of understanding, preconceived perceptions makes it challenging to find supportive professionals with the same agenda as a trauma survivor. That is why it is so important to be your own advocate. Speaking up until you are heard, sometimes that may require…

Furnace and Air Conditioner

Furnace and Air Conditioner

Recently we purchased an older mobile home. We expected to find a number of upgrades needing to be done. One thing we hoped not to have worry about was the furnace or air conditioner. We did our due diligence and arranged to have both the furnace and the air conditioner checked out. Provincial Heating came out and took a look at the units for us. We were advised that both units were working but…

Breakfast With Friends

Our time exploring for Brandy and I maybe behind us now. Brandy now 15, her hind legs do not work to well. I am on a list for a new knee, my hind legs do not work to well.

Every morning we are visited by new friends, they…

Now we have an opportunity to support the economy by purchasing a new converter and pay for the services to have it installed, that will give us all the good feelings. We also get to make a police report and an insurance claim so two more…
