We went to the store

Written by:

I’ve been working long days, so haven’t had the chance to make a proper dinner (will post when I actually do), but I have had a hankering for veggies and hash browns. Luckily these are available at the store, but at a price (see receipt).

Our house is fantastic and roomy, but does need a better inventory than 5 pot  lids and 1 unmatched pot. We’ve been without water since last night due to issues with our pipes, which provides the perfect excuse for Evan to avoid washing dishes!

For those who are interested, in the past week, we’ve been eating rice, pasta, spinach from Yellowknife, cottage cheese, eggs, fish sticks, and peanut butter. Just need our hot sauce to ship…

Hello other Faye!

Written by:

Being Faye’s younger sister, I generally follow her around. I ended up in Vancouver thanks to her for two summers, and now I’ve found myself in this barren northern community and the Recreation Director. I’ve also enlisted my man Evan to join me and participate in Nordic adventures.

-We shipped 600 pounds of household goods on a truck in Ottawa that will hopefully be able to find us later this week

-On the flight from Edmonton –> Yellowknife, none of the plane’s checked baggage were loaded, so we’re cycling through one outfit until that arrives

-Our house is being renovated, but we have a really cozy trailer that’s working very well!

-I’ve just started meeting some locals and getting their suggestions for community programs and events such as basketball tournaments and bingo

-It’s relatively warm right now (about -15) which is much better than the forecast of -30 for next

-The oddest thing for myself so far has been sunrise after 11am. I’m up and ready to go, but it still looks like it did when I had dinner. Soon there will be no escape from the sun

-As someone said “hello other Faye”
