My confession

Hi, my name is Patty and I have been a bad blogger.

But honestly, there are so few people out there who are really good at it. I have to admit, we were reluctant to venture into the world of blogs since there was the definite potential of not keeping up with it. The things we like about it can be achieved by maintaining a website but we don't really have time for that either. Besides, that's more Jeff's department than mine. A blog is easier for me since I don't have to learn how to build a web page; I can just use this template and voila!

I suppose it's not such a bad thing that I haven't blogged in a while. It means that we have a life again and I have a part time job. Many of our friends and folks in our church community live within walking distance of our place. So the move has been good. We have settled into our place; a very cute little mill house duplex and we found right away, after having more social time in the first couple of days of being here that this was the right move. Being closer to Jeff's work has also been a benefit and gives him more flexibility to come home for a day if work is slow. It would be great if he could find something that allowed him to be home every night but thus far, nothing with comparable pay has come available. We're still on the look out for that since he will be wanting to be home in the evenings this time next year when I start back to school.

The church we are going to is small and their focus is community. It has been wonderful to have people around who just love hanging out. One of the benefits of hanging out with this bunch is that many are very much into organic and health food and one couple are small time organic farmers. They primarily go to the local farmer's market to sell their goods but they are also very generous beyond that and have shared many yummy garden goodies with us. They grow many veggies that I've never heard of or never had like tuscan kale. It has been a fun taste adventure!

The area that we live in is called Marysville and it claims to be Canada's oldest in tact mill village. For your viewing pleasure, here are some pics of our new place.
