..oh, and July's gone, like the gasoline it took...

...to make the circle again
Florida to Florida
by way of
Amer-ri-ka!

ah

so it's been a while since I've "blogged"

and here's my update...

I've just returned from Morris East where I was treated to a scrumptious meal by the ever dazzling Monique and her soon to be husband, Wylie, for designing their wedding invites.

Morris East is Halifamous for their wood fired specialty pizzas. Tonight we went with my favorite: peach, scallion, prosciutto and goat cheese. We preceded this with a tasty smoked salmon salad. The salad was built in layers - starting with an avocado/cilantro mix (very close in flavour & texture to my guacamole recipe) topped with a thick chunk of the sweetly smoked fish that was decorated with fennel and pickled red onions - TASTY!

Morris East's menu is nothing but tasty!

...so, I've been busy with many little things lately- helping to plan Mos' wedding, learning to drive, painting the new studio space... putting off packing up the old space. The count down is on - only 5 more weeks and I say goodbye to my cozy, city, dream studio apartment. Off to the country for me, and I couldn't be happier :)

BUT, in the meanwhile, It's a little sad to be saying goodbye so soon. It was my 14 year old minds dream to live up here. I drew floor plans and all... colour pencil on looseleaf... each room double its size, all my meager possessions spread throughout. My childhood toy box placed outside my bedroom on a ledge that didn't even exist. I dreamt about this for years, so really there was no way around it - I was destined to live in this apartment.

BUT - that time has come and is passing, and now it's time to move on to another childhood dream and take up life in the country! I've waited almost 26 years to move back to the country. I think that's enough time subjected to urbania. I'm really excited to move, everything I want in life is popping up all around me... and because of this I'm sure that all those other parts of life - the things we've made necessary in life - those will just fall into place and facilitate me getting the most out of this time 'round.

Now off to do something very important...

not pack as I should be doing...

but rather, maybe a one woman dance party?
