Between You, Me and The Fencepost: Olympic Fever
http://whitepicketfencepost.blogspot.com/2010/02/olympic-fever.html
Sunday, February 7, 2010. The Olympic torch relay passed through Abbotsford today and we wanted to see the flame passing through our neighbourhood so we got dressed in our warm coats, packed the camera, and off we went. The moment we started walking towards the torch relay route I felt a little frisson of excitement. A part of history was passing by our town this evening and I couldn’t wait to see the Olympic flame. Patiently hanging out in the drizzle. Next Runner waiting . . . I love the High Five!

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Who Wants to be a Step Mother? When I became a stepmother people said things like: “about time (step children) they get a real mother” “You will be a mother to (step children)“. When I expressed my ambivalence I was told to “get over it and be a mother”. Why couldn’t I just be the mother? 160; . Then I had the epiphany: Parents are not replaceable. No matter how horrible they may be. There is no such thing as a *step parent. If children have a parent that’...So here I...

Monday, October 12, 2009. Getting dressed for game day. Iron man is wearing dads’ barbeque apron. I took pictures all day of my little sous chef cutting mushrooms for the stuffing, mashing sweet potatos . . . however it’s getting late and my patience is wearing thin so here’s the pie. Dumping in the pumpkin puree. Where’s the pumpkin? Adding the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. More sugar but must taste it first . . . Add some heavy cream and . . . mix it up . . . Two delicious pumpkin pies ready for the oven.

Saturday, July 25, 2009. I was getting a lovely facial the other day by the most amazing eastern European aesthetician. When she is done working her magic on my face it glows for days and is soooo soft.Delish. This lovely woman,I will call her M, was lamenting of the lack of culture and shopping out here in the ‘burbs. Long enough so us mamas can think and pause while shopping for something other than milk and chicken wings we may be shit out of luck. Posted by Between you, me and the Fencepost. I digres...

Friday, December 25, 2009. Why I love Christmas. Santa, Santa and one more Santa: I love the magic of Santa. To re live a time through our small children who still believe that magical Santa is real and reindeer do fly is one of the best parts of Christmas. Reminds me not to take everything so seriously all the time! Breakfast with Santa at Newlands Golf and Country Club. Christmas Eve Santa at Aunties’ house. The Christmas tree at Cousin Leas’ home in Vernon. Posted by Between you, me and the Fencepost.

Thursday, August 27, 2009. The Number one Reason Married People are Celibate. Children. Yes. Kids. Your lovely offspring. Those darling sweet children. From the moment they are born until they leave the house sex and children don’t mix. Here’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Add two 17 year old teenagers and a four year old child to the seduction equation and my plans to get it on with my hubby turned into a late night food fest with a wide awake child between us. So, instead of great sex we ate and cho...
