Ahh, life is good in Halifax. I wouldn't want to rub it in for any currently displaced Canadians (Carole and Jill!) but there's something magical about a country where you can get a Tim
Hortons coffee for $1.30. And of course, I love the manners, the pleases and thank yous, the way people smile and say hello to strangers (okay, maybe that's a bit weird) and hold the door open for you! Speaking of which, Mom took this when I came back from the airport.
The first night I was back in Canada, I went with my parents to a performance of the
Northwood Players at the local seniors centre. I think the picture says it all (and, yes, I was the only person under 50 there).
My first weekend home we went to visit my Grandmother. We also visited my Aunt Ev, the baking maven. We even got to take this strawberry
rhubarb pie home when it came out of the oven.
So delicious.
I had to sort through some of my boxes. All of my possessions are currently in cardboard boxes; neatly packed and labeled. I opened five boxes I shipped from Taiwan and did some
show'n'tell for the family.
Mom,
Grammie and I in
Mapleton
Friends and family out for lunch after church.
My favourite food, hands down: Garlic fingers with cheese. I've missed you, Pizza Delight!
(You're getting hungry now, right?)

Edie, I think your hair looks particularly good in the first shot in this series. It's parted farther to one side than usual?
