In our 3 month old condo we have brand spankin’ new Samsung laundry appliances! (P801DWN & DV4006JW1) Sadly last weekend when we attempted to start a load of laundry, the washer wouldn’t cooperate.

PS: If you’ve got a mug like this, let me know as [...]

Today Leah and I headed to Niagara-On-The-Lake to visit a few wineries. We started at Reif Estates and took in a quick winery tour and some sampling. The samples were so good that we picked up two bottles (2004 Gamay Noir & 2004 Vidal Icewine). We could’ve spent a lot more time (and money) at [...]
