Summers here and we moved... twice!

Well summer's here and since I've last posted I got a new job in another town, found an apartement, packed, sent one of my girls to France on a school trip, moved, got sick, called the health departement only to learn that there is a ton of mold in the place, searched for another apartment and moved for a second time in less than three weeks...

I am slowly unpacking the non-essentials, as long as we have clothes, food, and dishes, we are okay. So now I can start exploring my new (old) neighbourhood. New because I've never lived in this neighbourhood before. Old because I've lived in this town before many years ago. I am excited to see so many new restaurants, and ethnic restaurants too! WOW! I'm glad to see many of the old places are still there too. That means my chosen industry is doing well here... I do beleive I have come home...

What makes this place, well, next to heaven? The farmer's market that is half a block away. We can roll out of bed early Saturday morning, get dressed, walk over and buy a danish to eat while we peruse through the other stalls. Local meat, thick cut bacon, fresh farm eggs (which I'll have to get the kids used to...) And fresh vegetables grown within a few kilometers from town. I bought a bag of mixed salad last week, we ate from it over the week, and had the last serving on Friday. Bagged salad from the grocery store wouldn't last so long! Specialty dishes like samosas, and fresh kettle popped popcorn (what a show that is!!!) And fresh baked goods... Local artists selling there wares... Talking with the producers of the product about there goods, sharing recipes and ideas... This has to be a simple taste of heaven. I think I'm going to like it here!
