It was supposed to rain all day yesterday, but God decided to let the sun shine instead! Rob and I were out most of the day seeing the beauty of North Vancouver. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted all the photos we took yesterday with our digital camera before downloading them. I was very upset about it [...]

Okay, so it wasn’t a total eclipse of the heart, but it was a total lunar ecplipse last night. However, I do love that popular 80’s song by Bonnie Tyler. The 80’s was just a fun time! I remember in the early 90’s my friend Rachel, in Australia, and I would sing Total Ecplipse of [...]

I spent $35 filling up the car with gas today. It’s better than last week, when I spent $41 filling it up. Gas is expensive. This week it’s about $3 a gallon. The good thing is that if I go to the Save On Foods gas station, I’ll get a coupon for a food purchase. [...]

I went to the States today to run errands, refill meds, go to the post office. Can I just tell you that getting into the US isn’t easy? Not driving anyway. I think the US customs official thought we were playing 20 questions. It all started when he asked me where I live. That’s [...]

Well, I heard the Canadian dollar is at an 11 year high. One U.S. dollar is .79 Canadian cents (last month it was at .73 cents). YAY - but not for me.
The media keeps saying it’s a good time for “cross-border” shopping. I think I’ll stay right here and shop, thank you very much. [...]

Everything tastes like chicken, except for duck apparently. Which is odd because you’d think that of all animals duck would be the one to taste most like chicken.
I had the pan seared duck for dinner last night. It was good, and didn’t taste like chicken. Tasted more like roast beef. I don’t get it but [...]

Today’s my birthday. I’m 31 and I’m fine with everyone knowing my age. Being 30 was great, so I’m sure 31 will be just as good, if not better! Rob’s taking me out to dinner in Fort Langley tonight.
Thanks to all for the emails, ecards and birthday blog comments!
