Back in Canada.

Ah, yes: This is my vacation, at home on Vancouver Island, And, I Love It!!

I came back a week ago, and have in this time, met Mom, Step-dad, brother, sister, both grandfathers, with their new wives, two uncles, an Aunt, a step uncle and step aunt, with three collective children belonging to them, A great Uncle, and some other relations like that, (I can't recall how all of them were related,) Three cousins, including the one Month old boy, who's been named, (Ready for this?) Matthew, (And I have already once heard him mistakenly being called Andrew, in the One evening that I saw him.) There were also the Weekses, (A family That we've known for ever, more or less,) three people from my old ballet studio, and one choreographer I worked with on One piece, seven years ago.

This has all been rather a relief, as on my return out here, I felt that I wouldn't know any one at all. This is the place where all my early friends Were, but I know not what became of many of them. And the ones I know of, have mostly moved away.

There have also been Things that have filled my days here, (Not only people.) There were picnics, ballet classes, dinners, many times going swimming, a Lantern Festival, My brother moved, I've gone to the Cinema, And Kayaking in the ocean, and there was an extremely low tide today, so I was looking at strange life forms on the beach, And, on Tuesday, I'm going deep into the caves by a lake here.

And... I guess that I haven't written anything about it yet, but I have sent my Laptop computer in, to have the touch-pad fixed, and it was guaranteed to be done in 8 to 10 work days. However, after 15 work days, I flew back to Canada, and it STILL hadn't been returned to me. Pretty bad, don't you think? I will have to have words with them, when I get back. (Especially if the same old problem with the touch pad recurs.)

Well, now that that little rant is off my chest.

There are a number of things that have happened with me. Quite a number, I am sure. And there have been a number of pictures that I took too. And books that I've read, and things that I've seen. (The Theater Fest in Detmold was after I had sent in my computer, I think. That was fun.) All in all, I think there are far too many things to say... and I will be going to sleep soon. I hope that a number of these things get written about later, but if my days stay busy, than I will hardly have time to write about them.

Any how, I sleep now, and I'll just have to see what I do tomorrow. Peace and joy, and plentiful flowing water.
