It takes time, just like everything else. And for me it often takes more time than average! Things have to develop "organically"...I don't push them, they evolve on their own as long as I keep believing they are good ideas. So it is with this BLOG. It's coming....its sort of waiting for my patterns in life to all fit together.
So what's been happening? Well another Winter Warmer Festival has just come and gone and like last year's event it too was great! Maybe not as many performers but still high quality stuff. Check out www.winterwarmerfestival.ca to see what you missed. However, also know that next year we'll do it all again!
The same weekend as Winter Warmer Deb and I had our second exchange student arrive. This time we are lucky enough to have a young man (15 yrs old) from Brazil come to live with us. Manoel (great name for Salty Towers) will be attending school at the local high school until the end of June and while here is hoping to learn English. Our first exchange student came 2 years ago. Justin.... a Chinese student arrived and also stayed for the winter/spring semester. We saw him at Christmas...he came home to St Andrews for the holidays....he's now studying in Victoria and Royal Roads University. If this year's student is half as rewarding as our time with Justin then we feel we've hit it rich!
Winter has settled in again here in St Andrews. We had a good January thaw after a wickedly cold Christmas and New Year. Today, even tho there is new snow on the ground the sun is shining... just what winter should be like.
Hope everyone out there is well.
