As I ponder my first trip back to Canada since the big move, I’m thinking about what I miss and it’s a lot less than I thought I would.
I had written a whole list of things I thought I’d miss, but will write this one first, without referring back to it. But I do miss: my family [...]
…we’re home!
The furniture has arrived, we’ve purchased a few necessities, the tradesmen are slowly disappearing and it’s beginning to really feel like home. We have a few things to do yet, but here’s a little virtual tour our lovely new home ….
So, now the only question is, “who’s going to be the first North American [...]
When making our 2008 New Year’s resolutions, Chris and I agreed that we’d be kinder and gentler to our environment. Moving into our new home has helped in that we’ve established some “green” practices that should aid in accomplishing that goal.

I know the number of people who actually visit here on a daily basis….but, I’m curious as to how many [...]
They’re everywhere – in the largest suburbs and the smallest of towns. They’re cheap to join and most people belong to more than one. For not belonging is very “un-Australian”. These community castles are as tightly woven into the Aussie social tapestry as is sipping on a Hunter Valley chardonnay. And some spare no expense. [...]
I can’t believe how expensive makeup is here. I recently went to purchase a new powder compact… nothing luxurious, nothing trendy, just a basic pressed powder compact, with a foam applicator puff and it wasn’t some high end brand.

Some things are universal…..it’s days like today that remind me that sometimes you just need to ease into the day…starting off slowly rather than jolting yourself out of the gate.
