Life in a Nutshell

greetings from Halifax

I am writing from Halifax, NS.  My family and I came to Halifax yesterday for the weekend.  My husband had to write an exam at St Mary's University last night so we decided to make it a long weekend.

This sure is a much busier city than Moncton. We went down to the waterfront last night to see the Buskers.  I haven't seen them since I moved from Halifax 10 years ago.  Of course when we got there, most everyone had packed up, so we will be heading down there again tonight, weather permitting.

We are staying with my brother-in-law and his wife and there 6 year old daughter.  My children love coming here and playing with their cousin. 

It is nice to go places and see different things.  Halifax has sooo much History.  While we were driving around yesterday and seeing all the old old houses and the old schools the Halifax Explosion came to mind.  What a mess this city must have been in and yet there these buildings stand. 

My sister will be proud, we went to soccer practice with Felicity last night and while we were there the kids found some big rocks to climb on in the woods and Brendan brought me this piece of rock and I told him to hold on to it and we will put it in our Nature Journal, that is yet to be started but will hopfully be soon.

All your talking and encouraging is rubbing off sis.  Keep it coming!

I must go for now, I not being very sociable.

Boy it sounds as though you didn't ever appreciate Halifax for all it had to offer before?? I loved being there while I was in nurses training. After that, life was busy with working, Jeff, etc, so I didn't enjoy it so much, but it is a great city. Fun to visit for sure. I am SO proud re the nature journal. More excited for you, and the kids. Victoria loves hers, and she asks often now, to "learn" about a new animal. So sweet. We are off to Chuck E Cheese's for supper. Daddy home a little early! Yeah!!! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Love you, and miss you...
