Stompin' Tom in concert

Last night Wendy, Clarence and I went to see a true Canadian legend Mr. Stompin' Tom Connors!!! At the age of 73, he rocked the house. Cowboy hats a-boppin', canadian flags a-wavin', and foot a-stompin' beats that even had yours truly clapping along. It was so much fun and went on for 3 hrs!!! Granted, he had to take a half hour break to "recharge", but he came back to a presentation by Canada Post of his new postal stamp. To think that this man had such a hard upbringing and he has overcome all obstacles in life to be still here, entertaining us with songs from our childhood : ) I just wish mum could have been there. I pictured her clapping along and singing off key beside me : )

OK! My site is up : )

I took me a long time to do it, but it is done! WOOHOO

I attached this blog to it, so perhaps some of you are here because of my site...which is amazing.

Today was a great day. Productive, smooth, relaxing...everything you need to succeed.

This week has been difficult at times. Nat and I both received sad news. Health problems are affecting Nat's family and we are hoping for the best and for Lee to be better. Our thoughts are with you Lee xx

I received some very sad news this week as well. Since moving from Montreal, some of our casual friends have become distant. No more "running into them" on the streets and saying Hi and catching up. Therefore, I had to figure out cryptic messages on Facebook and awkwardly send an email to see if I was right or not. It felt terrible having to ask the obvious question, but I needed answers. I was eventually told by my friend that a dear person whom I had worked with and shared laughs with, took his life. It is difficult to understand the human brain and I just pray that he is in a better place, laughing and enjoying the view.

I will leave you with that because there is nothing I could say that would be appropriate to follow.

My first blog - moving to the country

Well well well where do I start?

I decided to create this blog to accompany my website. I wanted to give more information on my life, but it wasn't suitable for the type of site I created. Soooooooo this is the easiest way to get what I want. If someone wants to know more about me, then they can come here : )

Let's start with today. Right now I am sitting @ my computer looking out onto our backyard filled with flowers, hummingbirds and blue jays. It is almost unbelievable that less than 10 months ago, Nat (my wonderful girlfriend) and I were living in a Montreal apartment, listening to insane neighbors screaming and letting their children run wild in the hallways. How we survived in that atmosphere for over a year is a show of strength itself!

Our lives changed on June 6th when we took possession of our first home together in Wakefield, Qc. Wakefield is my hometown and I have been away for over 19 yrs. It was odd coming back home, but now being here seems like the most normal thing we have ever done! As a child, I would always say "I am going to live in that house one day" and voila! here we are.
