I came home from a long day out with my daughter to find that I had a package at the front door. I opened it up and found this beautiful hand painted and decorated box and a note from my secret swapper
morrigane. It's so pretty adorned with silver decorations, beads, glitter and a framed picture of Neil Gaiman's Death! Inside the box, I found some tasty tea (French Vanilla, Orange Choc Chip, Chai Spice, Maple Black Loose Tea, yummy :-D), package of Cranberry Cider (I've never tried this before and I am excited to taste it), and a cute little Jack Skellington bead. Underneath all this was a wrapped gift, I opened it and found Charles de Lint's Forests of the Heart with a bead and ribbon bookmark that
morrigane made!
Thank you so much everything is so wonderful and to answer your question in your note it's cold here in B.C. but not as cold as Quebec's snow belt!! The cold here is described to me by people who are from back east as a bone-chilling wet cold, we mostly have really cold rain here; however it does snow occasionally in the lower mainland (the milder part of the province). It's funny when it snows here because the city and suburbs tend to shut down, public transit is unpredictable and people drive like maniacs because a lot of snow is a bit rare. We had some snow a week or so ago and it's finally going away. Northern B.C. and the interior is really cold, brrr I like being from the milder part of the province :-D -- x-posted to

I'm being kicked off the computer by Mr. Pix3l, so he can post to his on-line RPG game, argg. I was hoping to post a bit more about my guide dog application process, but that will have to wait.
