Well, here we are in Vancouver.
Lets start with the city....
It doesn't appear as though I came here on the right day. Admittedly, I'm told it rains in Vancouver most days, so a Good Day is rare...so I can't hold that against the place.
You'd rather it snowed?!?
Yep. Snow isn't as wet.
What was worse was the traffic. Not only did I come here on a day when the local cult- hockey game was on, but there were additional traffic causing issues. So after getting here in the rain, getting to the relatives was interesting.
So finaly we reached Colin and Elena's home. And all I can say is that it resembles those homes you see on american programs like CSI - roomy, spread out and - worse - decorated with taste!
In the kitchen there's 2 racks of knives (I'd take a photo for you Ali and post it, but that would be knife porn). Sharp knives. hard wood floors, lots of natural light....sauna, small indoor pool...
I could wax lyrical about the place - but enough to say its stylish, impressive and oh so comfortable. And I really must try that sauna.
But you like snow!
And heating.
Thats the house - what about the children? Well, so far I've not had to use a wrist lock...or even frown much at them. Boys will be boys - but these are boys with limits. They may push them, but they know where the line is.
We went out bowling today and a bit of a meal out - most amusing.
Although I have ended up upgrading the computer here....it was crawling along with 512 mb of memory running xp....painful.

you know darling that is very typical of vancouver, weather and traffic, my main reason for leaving
We did tell you that Colin and Elena have a beautiful home - ours will seem like a shack when you get back. Not only that they are really lovely people - must be to put up with you! The boys are great fun and I wish there were more as well behaved as them. Give our love to them all. Mum and dad
Somehow I feel bad now that he's coming here to a crowded 3 bedroom apartment with a stand in shower. Also alot of snow I think weve gotten so much snow so far that we've beaten the records for past 25 years! Oh well.. :)
oh you are so lucky
i miss that kind of snow
Isabelle - don't worry it's you he is coming to see. Martin rarely notices anything let alone makes any comments. He probably won't even notice what we have done to his bedroom while he was away! That reminds me must see if his plants are still alive.
Have fun. Maureen
They're all cacti.
They'll be fine.
They should be fine.
Go check - now.
Maureen,

Isabelle
The cats would complain.
