Weird Ellenm, that anyone should even suspect the First Lady's campaign for healthy living is a Communist plot. So sad.

Glad to hear that your daughter likes your lifestyle choices. And she wants to do something similar for herself!

That's the beauty of cycling for transportation. One tends to forget a lot of the time, it is also exercise. I love these convenient self-deluding things. right now there's still some ice, slush in some areas but I just cycled to the bank, then to a coffee place and over to another place for grocery shopping before coming home. Every bit of cycling helps me..for spring, summer later when I need to adjust my body for longer distances.

Certainly I would be happy to cycle with any long time members here and show you our area...when you get to Alberta or British Columbia.

There's a part of me that also would like to write more about the best of my experiences in my blog. It just occurred to me, to even feature some of my amateur art work on my blog over time: because I've been living thousands of kms. away from my birth family for the last 11 yrs.!

So some family members and long time friends, haven't seen what I've produced since I've moved or when they visit me, there's barely enough time to look at my artwork.

So yes, I now see my personal blog in a different light. I do want to leave a good footprint behind in blogosphere.
