About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

lots of favourites - but we share one or two - Pillars of The Earth, Sarah Mclachlan,and the food looks yummy!!
Well, Christine, I didn't see any Brussels sprouts on your list!
My favourite place in the world...Manitoulin Island!!
Ellie :o)
Love love love those! Now I want to go to the Barbados.
Eating Okonomiyaki on the beach in Bali would be a favorite.
What kind of Okonomiyaki have you had? Looks wonderful. I like the shrimp one they talk about on your link.
(Sorry about the typo in the last attempt at typing. Happy Hour you see.)
I LOVE LOREENA MCKENNIT!!! Isn't she simply the most divine musician ever?
So.. um... I'm planning going to japan this april for the CHERRY BLOSSOM!! Got a good route to recommend?
mrinz:
One of my favourite dream vacations would be a trip to NZ!!! I've always wanted to go there!
ellie:
LOL! No Brussels sprouts on the list ;)
Awww...Manitoulin is one of my favourite places too :) I hope to see you up here sometime! Now with the move to Nova Scotia, you're going to be even further away though!!!
Don Mills Diva:
:) Actually, I'd love to be anywhere hot right now! LOL!
Jeanna:
Oooooh! The shrimp okonomiyaki is my favourite. I've had other kinds too, but shrimp is by far my favourite. There's this really small mom and pops shop in the village I taught in when I was in Japan. I used to go there every week. They cook the okonomiyaki on a hot plate right in front of you. LOVE IT!!! The old woman who owned the place didn't speak a word of English, and my Japanese was horrible! Our communication exchanges were the funniest ever. I really miss Fumiko-san! She was a hard as nails type of lady, but after two years of me frequenting her little shop, she sort of softened up.
CK:
OMG!!! REALLY??? GAHHHHH! I am soooooooo jealous!!! That is my favourite time of the year in Japan. It is soooooooooo beautiful!!! Actually, anywhere you go during that time will be spectacular! The cherry blossoms are stunning!
They call it Ohanami and the cherry blossoms are called sakura. I think Kyoto is a great place to view cherry blossoms. There are several famous spots. I lived/worked in Hiroshima prefecture and again, TONS of beautiful spots. If you're going to be in Tokyo, Nagoya or Osaka, you'll have no problems finding beautiful spots. Here's a list of popular spots: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2011_where.html
Oh Lawd C?
I'm just a poor ole country boy. I don't recognize anything on your favorite list?
I'm so un-worldly:(
I'm not much of a reader either:(
Who'd a thunk it?
I go to Barbados Blvd ( in an industrial park) near my house and run/walk!!!!LOL!!!
But I would love to visit the real Barbados in that picture you posted!!!
Jim:
:) I'll tell you what...How about you, Ms.Mamma, Snowflake, Jeanna, Clem, Hubby and I go to Barbados for a week? Not Barbados Blvd...The one pictured in the photo on my blog :) I could do that! Right now with all this snow, I am DREAMING for somewhere warm with a nice beach and a few cold glasses of Malibu & pineapple!!!
