Don’t worry – Derek and I aren’t moving again! If you’ve visited here in recent years, you’ll know we shuttled around before settling in Port Stanley. We’ve been here almost four years and have no intention of leaving.

I don’t need to rehash the details of why Canadian patriotism has risen to an all-time high of my lifetime. If you know, you know. It was a little bit weird to be in the US as the world’s “dumbest trade war” erupted.

I’m not sure how many times I’ve been to Sidney, BC. Let’s say several. But this time was different. It was just as wonderful – perhaps more – than previous visits with my BFAPCAF (best friend a person could ask for!). Not just because of our Gracefully and Frankly Facebook Live. (Erin went behind the scenes HERE) But also because they have moved down the hill to the ocean’s edge

This is an unusual entry. It starts kind of crummy but ends well. And in order to make that happen, I have to tell the story of my recent trip from end to beginning.

My ride-or-die Erin had some professional engagements in the GTA last week. After joining her for her appearance on CTV’s The Social (which I watched from the green room), I brought her back for a few low-key days in Port Stanley. She’d never been here, and I was so excited to show her our home turf.

Yes, this is the unofficial end of summer. Kids back in school. Summer-only activities rolled up like so many yoga mats. But as a woman who puts her faith in science, I’m sticking to September 22 as the last day of summer. That’s still several days from now. (I’m not a woman of math!)
