Heading north for a Canadian adventure! I flew into Cincinnati, am now road-tripping through Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City — with a little NYC detour on the way back to Ohio.
My partner-in-crime is my niece Megan, an English teacher from Cincinnati who’s determined to unleash her French language skills on our Canadian neighbors. Along the way, she’s teaching me to knit — so expect tangled yarns in more ways than one (and yes, that’s a literal-and-figurative yarn pun).


We make a great adventure team. A few years back, we were hiking in Kentucky when — believe it or not — we stumbled upon a camel. Naturally, we had to get a photo. This was before front-facing cameras were a thing, but Megan expertly flipped her phone around and somehow managed to snap a perfectly centered shot — camel included, smiling and all.

Join us as we explore Canada — savoring its cuisine, discovering its culture, and knitting a few memories along the way.
