A blog full of memories
I’ve been working on my Mum and Dad’s computer. I’ve found a few pictures of them that I’ve taken over the last few years. I just love them. I love my parents. They are as real as you can get. PS: No live sightings of the Northern Lights so far. It is cloudy this evening.
Well, I’m home for the holidays. I’m here in Whitehorse for three weeks. I just wanted to start putting some pictures up so you could see what Whitehorse is like in December. When I got up this morning, the thermometer read -25C below 0. Brrrrr. But not enough to dissuade me from taking a walk. …
Rick Mercer is a Canadian comedian who has this show called: Talking to Americans. In this show, Rick Mercer interviews and satirizes the perceived American ignorance of their northern neighbours.

This is one of my favourite Thanksgiving recipes (ahem–Canadian readers–`tis Thanksgiving here in the States). We were invited for our first Thanksgiving in the States to a friend and colleague’s house in San Francisco. I loved every minute of it. Mainly because Thanksgiving is such a traditional holiday here and my friend was a very …
I convinced Humberto to drive with me to LA last weekend. My sibling, Redd, was flying in from Fiji with his friend for a brief stop in the US before they continued to Santiago, Chile. They are going to spend a month or so backpacking in South America before they return to Canada for Christmas. …
I am a lucky girl I think. I am very lucky that I have landed here at Bush-Field this year. As I’m typing this, I’m watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. (Albeit in the distance, but on clear days, I can see the shimmer of the ocean swells). The sky is a fire of …
