I've wanted to start a blog for a long time, but when I do, I wonder what I should write. (Using the word 'do' was not a grammatical error... I have started one before - just can't remember where it is!!) What could anyone else possibly find interesting in my life? I have a wonderful husband, 2 great daughters who have both married wonderful men. A contented life doesn't necessarily make for a good blog.

So I will do this for me, and if you find yourself reading this and get bored, I won't be offended. (Especially if you don't tell me that I bore you!)

I just left a job I loved... but I love my new job even more. My daughter reminds me that I love it because it's new. I love to set things up and organize them to work well, and then I get bored. She is right. But I'm hoping there will be enough 'new' stuff here to keep me interested for years and years.

I went with Einar to work last Saturday and our drive took us through Okotoks. I have often wondered how long I'd survive in Calgary - I really don't consider myself a city-girl. I think I've done well to live here for almost 17 years. I'd love to live in a smaller town. Okotoks appeals to both of us. It would not be a longer drive for Einar, but my drive would be much longer and through a busier part of the city. Would being in a smaller town be worth the drive? I wonder.
