just another day in paradise?!?

There are a lot of good reasons to live in small town southern Alberta. The air is fresh. The spaces are wide and open.

It's fun having random wild life (and the occasional stray farm animal) tramp through my yard.

The people are delightful.

I can get pretty much anywhere I need to be in 20 minutes or less. (17 minutes from my driveway to COSTCO). I can count to 4 mississippis at most red lights and be on my way. And out in Magrath, I NEVER wait at a red light. (that's because there are none)

This morning I woke up and read Sara's blog. Now she thinks she's living in paradise, camped out on the beach in Laie, HI. (And she also thinks she's a fashion blogger these days...) Her post about getting ready for suit season is absolutely delightful. And she had some really great photos of SUITS. Somehow, it's just hard to get into the spirit of allt hat is spring when this is what we woke up to this morning- April 14, 2011

**I've actually already mailordered my new suit for this summer. It should be arriving by dogsled in 3-5 business days. And I can always sqwiggle into it under my parka just to get ready for summer.
