a lifeinhope blog extra

i think this can only happen in a small town. first, the soup kitchen whinch is suppose to be open tuesday and thursdays was closed today(there would be riots in vancouver if they did that there)headed to the libary to discover brand new sliding doors in the rec centre, and them suffering from leaky condo symdrome. it looks like a sceince fiction movie( just in time for haloween) with all the blue tarp everywhere,soon they will forget what daylight feel like. for the tarp blocks their sun.so much for the libary being a peaceful place.

it was an interesting 5 days. with missed e-mails, cancelled phone( including internet).the cancelled internet proved to be a blessing,since iam discovering a brand new town.met some amazing hippies ( from nelson bc) at the blue moose( a local coffee house) they were heading to vancouver.we talked so long that i ended staying longer than planned.mama mabel made cabbage rolls, for dinner absloutely amazing, one of her best dishes. it hit me how close christmas is really is when mama mabel made the statemenf that we are go to start making christmas wreaths tommorrow to sell at craft fairs so we had xmas dinner money, wish us luck.

it been quite the week first an unplanned trip to the dentist.turns out i have an infected tooth,so iam on the blues pills, until further notice. on the piss off people move of the week, i have pissed off telus by cancelling both my internet and my phone,got the traditional spiel about my credit.cant see how it can get any worse.sitting in a internet cafe drinking a mocha,meeting interesting people, like the family who dropped in after the kids karate class for a quick hot chocolate, or the university student doing homework over the internet and keeps having to buy more time.in the unexpected moment so far this week. mabel son was asleep on his mom couch,when it dawned on me, he's cute.he's seven years older than me(51)hmmmmm!!! stayed tuned you never know (LOL)

the 13th was thanksgiving and once again mama mabel, came through with an amazing dinner whinch included pumpkin pie.she explained to me why she does it.she does it because for a lot the tenants living in the complex,holiday are very diffcult to deal with.and she hopes providing dinner makes the pain a little more bearable.next day was election day and soup kitchen.thanks to mama mabel again i was able to vote,polling stations in small town,resemble a social with all the people you run into.as for the soup kitchen,well it live up it name.with soup,half a pastry and a bun for lunch.thank goodness for the rice and salmon dinner( guess who) i had.the jaw dropping moment from yesterday came when james corbert( famous goverment conspirator) last seen heading for califorina,showed up at the complex looking for bread.looking like james but a little worse for wear..thats it for now. god bless and peace

i know it only been a day but some pretty interesting thing have been happening.went grocery shopping and for the first time i actually bought some healthy for me, organic mustard.i guess it offset the cookies( chocolate chips) and pop i got.yesterday(sunday) was a special day at the mount hope,gordon dean, a tenant here had a birthday,he got the traditional birthday cake.no money in it.poor mabel, she keeps trying to help Gerald and he seems resist to it.she bought him a new pair of pants it took him no time to add a new odor to his general smell. iam grateful for the characters in my complex.other wise my blog would be very boring.
