it's winter: curling & moose are appropriate

Feb 03, 2006 11:10

we've managed to unpack nearly all of the boxes in our new place the last few days of january. we also visited our first curling match. this is a new to us! it was exciting, if only because it was a new experience. it's a fun combination of shuffleboard, bowling, and... sweeping the floor? hard to describe, but fun indeed. our friend is in the ( Read more... )

the moose is one of my favourite animals, so i'm really happy to hear that you've finally introduced him!

aren't they great?
curiosity: do you have moose on nova scotia?

oh yes, we have moose! we don't have too many of them though - they aren't a driving hazard like they are in newfoundland. i remember when i was a kid, my dad would make moose burgers, and they were super tasty, but i don't eat red meat anymore, so they are safe from me!

thanks! i wasn't sure with the whole island biogeography and all. nor did i know they were so abundant in newfoundland! gee. i'll have to make it there someday; i've actually always wanted to go to nova scotia too. in my mind it's a very mystical place (i'm picturing lots of fog. and for me fog = mystical?).

i've never eaten moose! i've just never had the opportunity, though my husband's family are avid hunters.

yay! i'm glad you like the new colors. i'm loving the poppy & cobalt. i'm in a very bright mode right now (in case you couldn't tell!).
