observations on my new home – day 3
just some stuff point form as i’m running low on laptop battery and short on starbucks card minutes 
-no internet for a week till they do a house call – and thats how long i have to wait. not impressed
-it hasnt rained once. its been a constant 82 degrees F about 22 celcius and decidedly dry rather than muggy and i love it
-people in stores are friendlier and actually HELP you!
-people on the street are friendlier too and want to tell u their life story (a total stranger lol)
-we dont have garbage pickup. we have to take it to the dump
-there is only one movie hall in town with 2 movies to choose from
-we have a home depot and a walmart though. not sure if thats good or bad lol
-went to Lumby for their fair yesterday. it was better than any fair i’ve been to in vancouver. seriously.
-its tried to thunder and lightning for two nights – around the edges of the sky its been doing so, but not overhead in the town… the clouds just keep building and building and you can feel the electricity in the air.
-we are in a basement suite. small. cramped. but cool and the best choice for a hot summer i think
-food up here ie produce and veggies, is not very good. not until growing season hits and we can buy local. i’\ve been spoiled on teh coast with tons of hot houses and local stuff from washington and oregan. going to be hard to get used to it not so.
thats about it for now… more later when i can get back on line. tomorrow maybe.

What a great update! That’s a lot of little bits of info that really give me an idea of what it’s like there. I’m glad for your weather, though I suspect some rain would be nice eventually.
Funny how a place with only one movie house and only two films to choose from will most definitely have a Walmart AND a Home Depot. Guess that’s what’s important.
Praying for that internet to come soon and to work wonderfully!
