AN ISLAND WEEKEND

:D

I'm back from Vancouver Island after a lovely weekend with my cousins. I have three cousins living on the Island and we had a reunion picnic at a Provincial Park on Saturday with all the families, about 30 in total including the little kids. There was a long stretch of sandy beach strewn with clam shells and tiny crabs scuttling about, a very good beach for children as the water is shallow for quite a long way out. And we had picnic tables on the grass under the trees so it was most pleasant. Lots of good food: potato salad, hot dogs, watermelon -- the usual picnic fare. It was good to see everyone as I usually only see the cousins who live in Victora (the others are from up-island) and I don't often see their families.

I came back on the ferry this afternoon after such a relaxing, fun time. It was god to clear my head. I got everything into perspective -- especially about the stupid g. ad problem (which I am still in the dark over). Decided to just leave it be for now and see if they deign to reply to my appeal. If not, I will work on Plan B. Meanwhile I get so many great accolades about the site and I notice I'm up on the top of the list when I googled it tonight. Good sign. So why let that ad fiasco spoil things for me??

Meanwhile, I also got notifified about a published story (for pay!) on line. You can see it at www.intheknowtraveler.com/2704 It's a story about Monamvassia, an interesting medieval site in the Pelonponnese. I'm supposed to get a couple more stories published on another site this summer too. (for pay) so things are looking up in that respect.

Now it's time to settle down and return to work on my novel. I'm almost caught up on the travel stuff so I should be able to focus more time on Alexander's world now.

I wonder how I put up photos on this site? If I can figure it out I may post a couple of my Island weekend.
