Life Update: Saying Goodbye to My Jeep 🥲
Talk about never taking a break! After returning from Chicago, it was time to start another adventure. Sadly, after many years of making memories, it was time to say goodbye to my trusty Jeep. As the saying goes, “Out with the old and in with the new!” Although it’s bittersweet to let go, especially after all the memories and road trips, I’m excited to begin a new chapter with my new Volvo. Here’s to new beginnings and new roads ahead! Goodbye Jeep, and hello Volvo. #NewBeginnings
Stay tuned for more updates on the new car, the Volvo. We’ll be sharing more about its features and performance, as well as my experiences driving it. Plus, we’ll be discussing some exciting new projects on the horizon.
Orchids and Chinese Food: A Hamilton Adventure with Moe and Ang 🌸
Last week, we had our first visitors to our new house. Our friends Moe and Ang made the trip all the way from Pickering to Hamilton. Upon arriving, they greeted us with not one, but three out-of-this-world beautiful Phalaenopsis moth orchids as our first housewarming present. I love orchids, and Moe knew this gesture would put a huge smile on my face. A true friend is someone who can make you smile no matter what!
For dinner, we had Chinese food from a local Hamilton restaurant. While the takeout was good, it didn’t quite compare to our beloved Perfect Chinese Restaurant in Scarborough, where we’ve enjoyed many meals before. I really miss their deep-fried spicy shrimp!
After dinner, we went for a walk. Moe and I took Dapper with us, while Boujee took care of the girls. It was nice walking along the pier with Moe and Dapper. Even though we now live in a different city, I don’t want to lose touch with the people who truly care about us, and Moe and Ang are two of my forever friends.
Though the evening was a little chilly, the water at the pier was calm and peaceful, and it was great to be hanging out again. It was a much-needed break from our usual routine, and I am forever grateful for the time we spent together.
As the night drew to a close, we said our goodbyes and Moe and Ang made their journey back home. We are so happy to have spent such a wonderful night together, and we look forward to planning more adventures in the future.
Until then, we will cherish the memories and look forward to our next visit. Thank you, Moe and Ang, for making our first housewarming so special.
A Night in Niagara Falls 🎇
At times, life can get so busy that we forget to take time out for ourselves. That’s why we decided to book a night away in Niagara Falls. We used our free night stay from Hotels.com and upgraded our room for a little extra comfort. When we arrived, we tried to secure a free upgrade, but the front desk informed us that it would cost around $200. However, they also let us know that if we were members of Marriott BonVOY, we would be entitled to a free upgrade. Well, It just so happens that we are, so we jumped at the opportunity and were upgraded to a two-story suite with a view of both the US and Canadian falls next to nothing. Thanks, #hotels.com & #Marriott!
After settling into our hotel room, we were ready for a night out. We decided to have a date night at Brass Brazilian Steakhouse, and it did not disappoint. The grilled pineapple was especially amazing – it was juicy and sweet. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was, let’s just say lively.
After dinner, we had some time to kill before heading back to our hotel. We decided to head to the Fallsview Casino, hoping to get some points for my mom’s rewards program. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side, and we didn’t win anything. But we still had a great time walking around and trying out different games.
Overall, our night out in Niagara Falls was a huge success. If you’re looking for a quick getaway, we highly recommend checking out the area. And if you do visit, be sure to stop by Brass Brazilian Steakhouse for some delicious food and Fallsview Casino for some fun and games – just cross your fingers for better luck than we had.
Frenchie Update 🐾
Woof woof! Boujee and Dapper here! Our pawrents, Damian and our beloved human, went on a trip to the Falls and we were lucky to have Nathalie as our babysitter. We had an amazing time with her and her grand daughter, Victoria.
We spent most of our time cuddling with Victoria, and we must say, she is the best at giving belly rubs! She is also an incredible artist, and she drew beautiful portraits of us. We never knew we could look so handsome!
When our pawrents came back, we were over the moon with excitement to see them. But Boujee didn’t want to leave Nathalie’s house. She had become quite attached to our babysitter and the cozy environment of her home.
We’re grateful to Nathalie for taking such great care of us while our pawrents were away. It’s good to know that we have such loving and reliable people to watch over us when our humans need a break. We’re already looking forward to our next visit with Nathalie and Victoria! ❤️
