Vancouver

After a bit of whirlwind, we find ourselves in Langley, BC, outside of Vancouver. It's beautiful here. Mountains, forests, streams and one very, very nice downtown area. Being the northwest, it also has an encouraging number of holistic health practitioners and alternative lifestyles. While, I haven't seen any slings yet, I have seen an impressive amount of health food stores, martial arts and fair trade stores. There will be atleas half a dozen farmers markets over the course of a week. This weekend, there will be a no car party in Vancouver proper. It all makes me feel as if I live in the wrong place. None of these things are really an easy thing to pursue in the south. although, my old town, Marietta now has a couple of locally grown farmers markets going. YAY!!

Any way. So we are here in beautiful British Columbia. We'll be here for about two weeks. Then we are scheduled to fly home. DH will hopefully know his next assignment by then. I find myself hoping it is on the west coast and that we can just stay out here. Unlike Dorothy, I do not want to go home just yet. I'd rather do laundry and dishes here, with stock piled quarters and in a dinky mini sink. Go figure.

Kids are set to wake up soon. We have black out curtains on the wondow. I love those. People can sleep really well when you mess with the lighting :) Of course, out here, it still is 630AM. That all being said, my DD just woke up and it's time to get breakfast ans get started on the day.
Signing off.
