Requiem
On Monday we were no longer at the House. In truth, it was midnight Tuesday before we cleared the last of our stuff out and finished cleaning, the people following us giving us the time we needed. We actually started staying at the apartment Saturday night, and are adjusting to (much) smaller quarters. Monday evening

And so it goes
There's a scene in the movie Master and Commander where two of the ship's officers are talking about the HMS Surprise. One of them says something along the lines of "The Captain says that there is so much of his blood in her decks that he considers her a relative". I feel much the same

Say you were one of our clients…

A Rather interesting visitor
The past couple of days we had Dan Rather stay at the Bed and Breakfast. Mr. Rather and his crew was up doing a story on the Northwest Passage/Arctic Warming for his show Dan Rather Reports. He and his crew were a joy to have here, he is very much a gentleman and most interesting

Baking up a storm
I know. I know. Its been a long time between posts. I’ve been trying to get through the latest installment of "The Great Northland’s Fire Extinguisher Incident" and it’s been a struggle.

Headaches
The other day we got word that Travis needed to go down to Iqaluit the beginning of December for some dental work. This of course entails me having to fly down with him (Leah doesn’t fly well). Now it’s not that I’m so adverse to a small change in scenery (although Iqaluit is really, really

More Buzz
Okay, because I really can’t think of anything to write these days, here are more comments from our guests at Kiggavik Bed and Breakfast. Thanks for the wonderful room and food. After a week camping out the shower was most appreciated. I am sure the passenger sitting next to me on my flight out will

Our Buzz
We finally got our guest book, and feeling rather self-important today I thought I’d share some of our client’s comments with you. What follows are extracts but I promise I’m not editing anything negative out of them. "No Ivory Gulls! The comfort & food almost made up for that. All of us truly enjoyed the

Voices from above
I heard voices last night, or rather a voice. We’d been taking advantage of the nice evening to do some work outside. I was painting our fuel tank stand, to match the siding on the house, and Leah and her sister Eunice had just come out with the kids to do a general clean up.
