The colours of the Olympics

Despite the little bit of boo hoo in the CBC interview I gave last week
( always just trying to keep it real) - we got out and enjoyed the Olympics this weekend!
The spirit that all of the athletes and visitors have given our city is priceless.
It is nice to see a bit a patriotism in Canada and to see the streets of Vancouver hoppin'
Me and Estevan went to our very first HOCKEY GAME!
MAKE SOME NOISE - I think I might have been more excited than he was !!!
What we would really like to do is ride the zip cord over Robson square,
but five hours is just too long to wait.
All of the excitement will be winding down soon and I am a little torn about that.
But it will be nice to have our city back to a bit of normal.

I would like to thank Kathryn Gretsinger for noticing our store window and taking the time to talk with us. A little piece of our conversation is on line. See the window that started the olympic conversation below and click here to listen http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/podcast.html

Pro D Day

Ah, how sweet is was to watch the 'store manager' Estevan
inventory our new Speckles and Weeds cards.
He had his own system going and
was so proud to put the display together himself.
But was even more excited to help customers at the counter;
entering items, running the credit machine and
even wrapping presents - ALL BY HIMSELF!
He has been doing things all by himself at Beansprouts now for
almost 7 years! Yes, time flies !
We spent the entire day off school together.
A very memorable day.
