OK, so that's it. That's me. Well...that's not all of me.

Hey - Mand and Spitfire! I didn't know you were in Calgary. How long have you been here?? (I was going to read the 50 pages to figure it out, but then I thought asking might just be faster).

Blue- we've been here about 3 weeks now. We were thinking of going out to join the guys in the park for some fire spinning tonight, but we've had a busy couple of days and decided on a nice quiet night in instead.
If there's any sunshine about tomorrow, we're going to take all our toys and play by the river.
If you called by the Canada thread, you'd realise we were here.
Send one of us a pm and come play.
Patrick- thanks for your concern. It's been a little bit of a worrying week- especially for Kim.

Hey Blue...yup, we've been here for 3 weeks now...since August 11th.
Patrick, thanks for the concern. I'm doing ok....as Mand said, it was a worrying week, definitely, but my family is ok.
It's very hard to see my home town in the state it's currently in. My childhood home was underwater, along with my high school.
I'm just thankful my family is all safe and sound, though. My folks moved out of New Orleans proper over 10 years ago.

PM Sent. Also glad to hear your family is well, SpitFire (now that I've caught up a bit on the thread).
I did some searching for this mysterious "Canada" thread, but found nothing. Can anyone drop me a link? Thanks in advance!

Nice quote...and not too far off the reasons that my friend christened me with my nickname. (And so folks know...the nickname has nothing to do with breathing fire...)

LOL LOL LOL!!!
You both make me laugh!
As for settling in, yes, I think we can say we've settled in.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Calgary. Yes, there have been cold days, but I think I am adjusting to the Calgary climate somewhat. There've been mornings where the temps were around freezing, but I didn't feel too cold in my thin fleece. My ears were cold. I'll have to protect them as the weather turns colder.
This week, though, the temperatures aren't too different from Texas!!
Of course....we're due for snow on Friday.
I don't know if I'm ready for the -20 C. weather that we can have....but I've got a nice fluffy down jacket, so I'll make due. That....and I've got a Mand to curl up with at night.
