Welcome Jan. I hope you make yourself at home here. I find it hard to keep up sometimes but I do love the wonderful people who post here. I often learn a lot.

I have to charge some batteries for my digital camera then I'll post some pics of my new jewelry. The tv show that I host is for the Moose River Broadcasting Association. The show is called 'In Focus' shown every second Sunday on the local community channel. We don't have a newspaper here, instead we have two community channels that simply post notices and advertisements and run a weekly bingo. The show I host is a current affairs show and I just introduce each segment. There's also a youth show that has segments geared toward the younger crowd and one of the high school students hosts it. It's just a volunteer thing and I have to do all of my own hair, makeup and wardrobe but it's been a really cool opportunity.

It's funny because sometimes people think that living in Moose Factory is a big hardship because it's fairly isolated but I've been able to do things here that I would never have done in the city like host a show, eat beaver, sturgeon and wild goose, have a tipi in the back yard . . .

On that note the best thing that happened today was visiting with a couple of friends who dropped by. I watched their baby for about an hour and then they came in for a visit when they came to pick him up.

I can't really think of a worst, perhaps DS tracking mud into the house.

What I learned: DS + water + dirt = mud tracked in the house

Oh, and I think that I forgot to post that Ella's first tooth came in last Thursday - quite exciting.
