This is the last post from Cape Breton, at least for another few months. It is nearing eleven, I am waiting for Dad to pick me up so we can go into town and have tea and talk a little. Gillian Welch and her quiet, country-soaked bluegrass is on the stereo.
"I had a real good mother and father
And they surely stood the test..."
I am mostly packed. Clothes, makeup, jewels, hair thingies, and toiletries will be the last to be consigned to boxes and bags. I have my books, my CDs, the stereo, and most foodstuffs that Mum is giving me all ready. I have my brain in full Chill Out Mode, as that is the only way to both assimilate and cherish the memories of this wonderful summer I've just had and prepare for the unknown up ahead. And maybe some of you have noticed my clever use of the HTML with the list in the last post, crossing out things as I've gotten around to them? Hee hee...I'm proud of my coding abilities, however pitiful they might be.
Up next: a day spent saying goodbye, and having fun. Then: a drive to New Brunswick! Woot!

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
