Wacky Weather!

This weather has now gotten to me! The quick change from hot to cold has given me a tickle in the back of my throat and pressure to my head. Geeze! I thought Mobile was bad but it has nothing on the drastic temperature changes here in Sherwood Park. This weekend is suppose to produce low temps but I wonder how long before I have to unpack the shorts and tanks again. Can't wait till it stabalizes and I get to know exactly what to wear.

OH CANADA!

The Hills have landed in Canada! I must say that after living in OH CANADA! for four months has me longing for the good ole USA. I miss things that I was able to get in the US that are not available here. Being from the south seafood is a staple and to eat seafood anywhere else is just bland. These people have never heard of seasonings. We miss Cracker Barrel and all that they offer. We ate breakfast at Denny's only because it was recognizable. We saw that they had grits on the menu, which my Mike promplty ordered. We even had a little laugh when the waitress asked us if we knew what they were! But the hope of having something that reminded us of home were soon dashed when she placed a bowl of unfinished grits on the table in front of him. He quickly asked her for a pot of hot water and he finished them at the table himself. Oh how I miss the cheesy grits that are offered back home! the onther thing that I have to get used to is the monopoly looking money that they use. The colors and the plastic on the higher amount bills makes me think of play money than of anything of any worth. Then there are the coins. The dollar is not a paper bill like it is in the states but a coin with a picture of loons imprinted on them. This is called a Looney and the two dollar coin is called a Tooney. Still think that is a joke.

Other than that the landscape is quite nice. The weather has been hot and humid, which reminds me of home. We have been taking Oz around to play in parks and getting a look around the city. If only I could get my photos to post. This is an experience and I hope that Oz will grow up and have these times to remember. I can't wait for it to snow so he can really get the full effect of the cold winter. Virginia only gave him a taste so I can't wait for him to be able to go sledding.
