life in hope,july 26,2008

actually did something useful today, went to the rec centre here in hope where they have all the public stuff(library and the gym, pool) where i had the best burger at a place called the 6 ave cafe,with apologies to Mr.smith,after i ate did manage to go to the above mention libary return stuff, pay some fines and pick up the coolest DVD(kissology) on the planet.never seen some one with nothing appreciating something,like i did yesterday,mama mabel made cabbage rolls for everyone.and when the guy found he could have some he couldn't believe it. he kept repeating really.in the end they were enjoyed by all.here something to ponder could mama Mabel be the new mother Theresa for our times hmmmm!!well,she is sure is is a god sent

once again it took me to long to write this blog.the 14 of this month marked two months in hope.i guess hope is a fitting tittle for this town,.because after surving the hell of the downtown eastside, never thought i could feel normal like i do now.heck, i even have my own computer with internet.once a week the local food bank brings up bread and sweets for the the complex,so far i 've received pecan butter tart and double chocolate chip cookies,so much for maintaining my figure.there has been talk about a bunch of people getting together and starting a soup kitchen out here.since curremtly hope is lacking in such things.last but not least i would like to thank all those who supported me when i needed it.with a special shout out going to Thorndike pickledish.

i know it been only a day since i blog but so many thing have happened. first, a family member from the mount hope,returned.Gorden dean after a horrible visit in prince george with his family returned this afternoon.luckily he was able to get a suite.since i moved back here i have become friends with a polish lady name Danita,i think she like the fact she gets to speak Russian with someone.mama Mabel took in another wayward traveller.even giving him some food and a place to sleep for a couple hours until he hits the road again(he heading for trail bc).ordered pizza for dinner, shared the three last pieces with the 78 old man who never has a bath.he loved it.
