When I think back, this is where the journey really started four years ago. This is our farm in Saskatchewan. One day Murray and I were talking and I said, "Some day I would like to just drive away in the truck and see where we end up!" Little did I know that would actually happen. In January of 2007 Murray got a phone call to do a contract that would take us all over the province of B.C. So we went. Just like that. What an adventure that was. We ended up in Nakusp, B.C. and have been here for 3 years now. We always knew it was a temporary placement. When we sold the farm, we decided to do a trip to Nova Scotia, specifically Cape Breton. Why? Well we had some friends there, and we really wanted to see the Atlantic Ocean. We managed to be in Vancouver at the Pacific Ocean one week, and at the Atlantic Ocean two weeks later. The Atlantic won my heart! The Atlantic Ocean has a mystic quality to it. Something called out to me the first time I saw it. Maybe it was the fog bank, maybe the rocks at Peggy's Cove. I am not sure, but it captured me in a way that I cannot explain. When I walk along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean I rejuvenate and am at peace. 
So what surprised me today was the response I got from my family, friends and folks I do not even know. One very special person, Lucy, took the time to write me a quick note. That meant so much to me. Lucy touched my life in a very special way. Although we have not seen each other for many years, I know I will get to see her when we are in Cape Breton permanently. She is not to far away, and seeing her will be a priority for me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to say hello.
Murray was out taking pictures on Saturday. It was a beautiful day in the Kootenays. We live at the waterfront and this is the beautiful view that I wake up to each day.
Because I love whimsy, I just have to put this picture in. Murray is a great photographer and I just love this picture.
They were loving the day!
