We spent a lot of time in Nova Scotia this summer: young L. was a CIT at a summer camp, but couldn’t stay over the weekends, so we retrieved her and spent weekends with her. During the week we stayed in home exchanges: Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton, Port Hood in the Annapolis Valley, and house in Bedford for 10 days.
In the in-betweens we’ve spent a lot of time cleaning our house for home exchange guests, and now that it’s August, at our place by the shore back here on the Island.
I last updated this August 7, 2026, and have set myself a reminder to update it monthly from here onward.
Having a page like this was suggested here; this is what I’d highlight if I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in a year.
