Big News!!!

Ok sports fans the basket ball team came in 7th at a Squamish tournament!! Yup forget hockey, basketball is where it is at, that, and the Pot of Gold raffle (one of 50 going on in town). Bingo is yet another bonus to this fair isle, don't get me started on the dobbers and crazy people you find there.

I was a good little girl and went to church this Sunday. It was at the United church on, wouldn't you know it, Church Street! I felt like I was in highschool as everyone seemed to crowd into the back rows leaving the preacher all alone up front. We started the service with singing, luckily I like country music because the man leading in front did Waylen Jennings proud. Talk about a hoot and a holler! Slow and steady we sang every verse interspersed wiht a trumpet that played the melody when the musician remembered the song or wasn't too tired. Hymn sing watch out!!!! I have to say they were the friendliest crowd with one woman telling me to come on Fridays because that was when they really rocked the house...does Shania or Garth live in Port Simpson? Hmmm could be interesting.

Anyway my fitness studio is almost ready for the general public making me a celebrity in town. Talk about pressure. I have walked by a few people only to hear "Wow she's big!" I haven't had the guts to ask for an explanation so I am the big white girl with blond hair...and no I have no idea what that would be in Native tongue. I did learn that Lax Kw'alaams means Isle of Roses. I feel so multicultural!
