Boy I'm feeling homesick. I just got an email from one of my best friends and things are just not good with her at home right now. So she vented a little. Makes me with I could be there for her. I bought her some souvenirs when on our honeymoon, so I think I'll get those ready to send to her, may cheer her up a little. That and we'll make a "date" to chat online. ( there's a 3 hour time difference between us now).

Any one ever find Bird's custard powder anywhere? I could get it easy back home, but I get blank stares when I ask for it here laughing.gif I want to make some Nanaimo Bars, and read I could use instant vanilla pudding instead. I hope it works good! I think I need a care package..

Awww. I'm sorry you're homesick, Joyce. rose.gif Where did you move to? I always get my sister to bring me Birds Custard from England, but if you have a World Market near you, you might possibly find it there. That's nice that Carla will send it to you if you can't find it, though. I love our Canada Forum family. luv.gif





Thanks... I wish she and I could get together and have girls night. I'm now in SC and she's still in BC. We used to stay up till 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning sometimes and talk, and talk, and talk...

We can get Birds in BC, I used to get it from Safeway all the time. Guess I'll just see how these bars turn out without it for now.

Good morning everyone. Hope you enjoy your trip Marilyn! I've never been to Vegas. When are you going? Joyce, I used an "American" version of Nanimo Bars last year with a vanilla pudding and while it was good, not as good that's for sure. Too sweet for me. I did manage this year to find some custard powder at a grocer here in Saint Louis called "Global Foods". If you can't find any there, I could pick you up a box or two here and send it to you if you'd like. Let me know.


Awwww Thanks Carla!! That's so sweet of you. I know there are 3 World Markets in Columbia, about an hour away from us, so maybe I can find some there. And a pastry blender!!! Wow..I can't find one of those either!!! blink.gif *I'm lazy.....don't like using just knives...* laughing.gif

Well, that is true, Charles.


TimandJoyce, there is a $6 fee for the I-94 when you are crossing the border by land. I believe it is included in the cost of the airflight ticket although I don't know for sure since Canadians are not usually issued I-94s. It is included for flights from other countries.

Thanks! That's good to know. I'll just bring extra money along just in case. I double checked my flight, and I don't have two hours in Dallas like I thought I did!! I was going to eat, but I won't even have time to drink! Hopefully I can grab a snack before boarding my next flight. I have less than an hour before my connection!

Good morning all!

I feel like I am blogging since there aren't many other posts in here tongue_ss.gif

Anyway, I am up early for no good reason, except I am in a strange place which is a good enough reason I suppose.

Totally exhausted last night and our place looks like a hurricane blew through. Today I need to get stuff out of the living areas so it doesn't seem so tight in here AND - need to change the lightbulbs. There is a light in the dining room and one in the kitchen - they must have used 40 watt cheap bulbs because it's lit like a bar laughing.gif

One thing about this place - or rather this location, is that it is on a ridge and has a somewhat spectacular view. I will post some pics when my camera cord appears. Half the view out our patio doors is the parking lot, well really two thirds, the other third is a kind of nice view to look at.

I am trying to remain positive. This apartment is supposed to be 750 square feet. I am laying in bed this morning going omg, I will go over to the rental office and see if they have anything bigger. This is probably because I am still tired and also because of the hurricane look factor. It's hard to see past that when you are tired though so I just keep reminding myself!

On the upside I have my computer set up! I have my coffee and what little sleep I did get was in my own bed!

Don't know the exact layout of the apartment, but my house that I sold is only about 765 sq feet. It's actually quite roomy, except that there is no separate dining area from the kitchen, there for making that room a little squishy.

*Wonders if the coffee's a Timmies?*.........*said that for Charles*.... laughing.gif

Glad your getting some rest Trailmix. Once you organize everything, you'll probably like it, and then it will be time to move. happy.gif

Yay. My last Saturday I have to work!! I'm quitting next Friday! Oh my goodness, I'm almost in the States!

I've been wondering though. Is there a cost to the 1-94? I'm flying out of Vancouver.

Good morning all, thanks Carla!

Well the ABF truck driver called at like quarter to 7 (it was booked between 8-12 for drop off) - but that's ok. I was a bit concerned we might not have enough room for the truck and ramp in the driveway - however no problem.

We just have a few things to do and then I will be calling the guys to come and load the truck.

So just having some cereal, then time to pack up the computer. The cat escaped out of the yard this morning - so now we wait for her to show up before we can go to the hotel.

Have a safe journey!! I hope your kitty isn't out too long. Probably just upset with all the changes and wanted peace and quiet for a bit.

We know there are raccoons around here as we have seen them out and about. About a month or two ago we noticed something had dug under our side fence and in to the neighbours yard. This is completely annoying as we let our cat out in the back yard - but she is not an outdoor cat - so no wandering, but she has escaped a few times during the day.

We fill up these holes every morning - yesterday she got out and we couldn't figure out how the hole got there.

So I just popped out to the back patio a minute ago - Armadillo!!!!

Oh I would love to see one of those!!!

Raccoons used to come by here, and teach the babies how to steal cat food! laughing.gif I came home lots of times to find mama with the young ones. My cats, by the way, never got hurt or anything. But the '####### family would run up the cedar trees and wow, was mama screeching at me!! The babies though would get curious..and soon the branch would part and I'd see the cutest little face.

One evening a baby was stuck on the other side of the fence and didn't understand how to climb it. I had just came home, and stood there, very quietly, not saying anything, not moving, and mama scurried back and forth all around me trying to get that 3rd kid!! Oh how I wish I had a camera!! She was so concerned about her young one, it was like I didn't exist!! Once she finally got the baby, they moved on, and I went in the house laughing.gif

Well I have pretty much done all of those calls now, just a couple that need to wait until next week. I'm looking at packing up the kitchen today. I don't really like packing, I don't know anyone who does, but i'm sure someone does laughing.gif

When you find out who...send them my way please... wacko.gif
