Mom and Dad Hopped Aboard the Polar Express

posted in: Motherhood, Uncategorized 1

Mystery solved! my parents were tucked on an all night train ride aboard the Polar Express–literally! The Vancouver airport was closed to flights in and out. They could not make it on a flight North until after Christmas. So, they took a taxi to the train station and hopped aboard a train bound for Kamloops. Hmm…is this starting to remind you of Peter Notpizzaface’s trip aboard the Kettle Valley Railway?–my junior fiction novel is eerily close to their night–Although, it might have been an exhilarating trip for them–I can image the views of the snow covered mountains would have been unforgettable, but my mom said it was too dark all night to see a thing.

Anyway, they are home safe and sound. And Miranda’s family arrived safely in Toronto after an incredible Cuban vacation. I must get there and soon! And Theresa’s family is in the air flying across the Pacific ocean as I type this. 
The weekend was busy but fun despite the cold. Had a great date with Peter. The pub and movie and shopping were a lot of fun. The party yesterday was good. I met a few really nice people I’d like to get to know better. Learned a little more about Australia from one of the guests (an Australian) and yes, can hardly wait to explore the Island!
Mist is going to “Twilight” tonight with a friend. I will paint very soon. Then take Mist to Basketball practise and the little girls and I will look for new winter boots for moi, and a Starbucks hit, of course–Theresa, I am still waiting to taste that Cranberry Bliss bar you bought me at the Nelson Starbucks yesterday! Enjoying this time off with my baby girls.
The tree is beautiful. And yes, I am a Buddhist, but I am a huge fan of Jesus Christ(he was such a GREAT man!), so I celebrate his life too. I just don’t buy into the whole Commercial Christianity thing. I like to keep things simple and true.
