over the past couple days ive been all over the place, everywhere but home; and im not done yet. not for another week. im in the small town of princeton in the similkameen-okanagan district. my dutch grandfather, whom i call opa lives here and today i went with my nana and grampa (my other set of grandparents) to visit him. he was very pleased to see us and he gave me a family heirloom; a gold medallion etched with his grandmothers face; on a golden chain. it is a beautiful piece of work and i will keep it and hand it down to my granddaughter or daughter.
this morning when we drove through the urban sprawl of vancouver, i, as always got that exciting rush of big city small town girl feeling. i love vancouver and all its charms, but not always the people. lets just say im a small town girl who loves the city. i especially love the green spaces and tourist-y areas such as capilano and stanley park.
this past 2 weeks i have had a cursed turf burn on my hip.. which is totally my fault, but i did not intend to do it. it did not involve alcohol of any sort! its from soccer.. gotta LOVE artificial turf fields and not having sliders. now i have a week of hockey in the dry mountain town of salmon arm.. hopefully i can keep it clean and the antibiotics get rid of the infection.
people have told me my posts are kind of short and far and few between, sorry im quite busy and dont have alot of time to write out long posts :P
