Don thought this was a great sign for us Canadians!

Cold, wet, raining....

I am starting to look forward to the end of January. It does seem like things are not going as swimmingly as I expect. February is a good month, more sunlight = more energy for everyone. January in Canada--everywhere in Canada, is low on SUNLIGHT.

The days are getting longer.

Its a good thing.

Bon Appetit!
(watch Julie & Julia-excellent movie!)

My Oldest Niece

The Happy Couple. My niece got married last summer!

A card I sent to my aunt

I think we all have old photos that would make great cards!

We were at a wedding in Kananaskis Country. The black n white version is nice as I was worried nothing matched: brown shoes, cream purse, beige hat, white pearls, sweater over a dress, etc.

Mom in front of the steel horse downtown Calgary in 2007. It's cool. I think Mom was not so overwhelmed with our downtown--there are huge park spaces, an island, the zoo....not just concrete. And steel. Horses. Steel horses are cool--made from auto parts, etc.

New Orleans Dec 2009

The newspaper building in New Orleans. Taken for my journalist sister, of course!

Baby Bear went to the vet today. 4.1kgs--down a kg in the last 2 months. Definitely unwell--poor little guy. He was about 15 lbs last year (6.8kg). Soon we'll know what's up!

It's Friday Night!

...and we just got in from a night out with friends Patti & Doug. We met them at LoungeBurger. Cool place. Check it out at www.loungeburger.com . Great food & atmosphere!
Patti & Doug are heading off to Helsinki, Finland next week for 2-3 weeks (2 Patti, 3 Doug). Doug is there for work--an audit. Not as fun for him. Travel is travel!
I'll watch Patti on FaceBook to follow their trip.

Jan 13, 2010. Vote on the Monopoly game!

Its a beautiful day here in Calgary today! Over freezing, blue skies, sunny--expected up to 6C. After the long deep freeze, this seems warm. Its melting and a sloppy mess, though I would take that over -30C any day. :)
Busy at home work day.
Vote for Calgary at http://www.monopolyvote.va/ . They are creating a Monopoly game & the cities going on the board game are to be chosen by voting. I think it must be advertised in Quebec as the most remote Quebec cities are listed. Right now Edmonton is beating Calgary, so I have bookmarked to vote. 3 votes a day, each has to be a different city.
Must run!

Blog Day 1: January 10, 2010

After seeing some fab blogs out there, I thought I could start one of my own. Also inspired after seeing the movie Julie & Julia several times in a row on our last cruise in December. www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/julieandjulia/ Trying it out to see if this is an alternate way to getting to see more posts of my baby nephew as well as there is concern over privacy on FaceBook. Sigh. Lets give this a shot!
