I guess I should poke in and say Hi.

I am looking around and these forums have great variety and very interesting along with some good humour. And thank the Lord I can type humour, and not get teased. I am a very proud Canadian, in particular born in B.C. (not that I had a choice, but it is wonderful to be B.C. born).

I am from the West Coast lower mainland area, but have lived all over B.C., in Manitoba once and In Ontario as a child. My (paternal) grand parents and greats, greats came from Nova Scotia.

However, I have family from all over, in particular B.C., Alberta and Ontario, the States and long lost relatives in Nova Scotia.

I will figure out this forum and its idiocyncracies soon. Hope you all are having a good pre Christmas season and not too harried.

Have fun!

Thanks to all for the nice welcome.

Novachick: wow, nice from Nova Scotia. Me family hails from Antigonish, but it has been long time. I believe they left the area when my grandpa was but a wee laddie about 7 years old, and they still spoke Gaelic. I would love to hear more about Nova Scotia. I actually check a lot of stuff on the Internet

BarbaraWoodson: thanks for the weclome too. I look forward to reading more, but with Crhistmas coming fast (does it not fall on same day each year and still one is never ready?) I may not be truly active until the New Year.

Thanks
