I love her already. I saw this on the news last night, it made me cry. It's so touching, I just see this as such a beautiful moment in both their lives and all of ours. Bridging boundaries and barriers, Kate and William were fabulous this week. The showed they are real people and they looked like they had a really great time. I love that they visited Slave Lake. It was nice that they would show interest in such a terrible tragedy.

I hope to Vancouver soon, I would like to take Angel to see them. 

Way to Go Kate!!

Expo 86- I worked there

Wow, this is a cool video. Looking back it brings back so many memories. I graduated in 1980 and there just weren't alot of jobs, I lived out in the valley and you really needed a car.

I remembered working on a raspberry picking machine, picking mushrooms, packing eggs, and then somewhere in there I got the job at Expo 86 working graveyards, as a janitor.
  
I worked in building that burned down a while back. It was the main place for all the offices, the costumes, and I forget what else. (I didn't know it at the time, but it had been used to house the Japanese during the war, so had some "weird" energy there. )


It wasn't right on the grounds, it was over by the Chinese gardens, but I had to pass thru the grounds to get there. 



Every night I took the bus down Fraser St, and I could watch the fireworks. I only worked there a month, as I got another job.


It definitely stimulated the economy. I got paid $3.50, I think that was the minumum wage and at Expo I may have got $3.75  or maybe $4.25 I can't remember. After I quit I got a job in a laundry for $5. That was like hitting the big time. Then after a year I got a union job for $9. So things were looking up.


Anyways, here an old pic of me in my Expo86 uniform. Looks wrinkly. Oops! I think I just put it on quick to have a photo, as that pic is taken in the valley and I was living/working in Vancouver.

In my Expo86 uniform

I remember one cool thing, that after Expo86 ended, we all got a letter thanking us for our work from Jimmy Pattison. That was really cool for me. I'm pretty sure I still have it and a button and a few other momentos.

The Royal Wedding-Apr 29/2011

Well, I stayed up and it was definitely worth it. It really was beautiful, the crowds, Wow! so many people.

I tuned in just as William arrived and then everyone came along, and it really went quite fast, the longest part was waiting for the kiss.

After the ceremony it was 25 minutes, I nodded off for a bit but woke up in time to see all the people gathered in Trafalgar Square. What an AMAZING sight and the Royal Kiss! What a fairytale, it really was so lovely.

I am glad I watched history unfold today. They really make a nice couple and I wish them all the best. I'm so happy for everyone else, the Queen and all the little flowergirls and everyone that it all went so well for them and I hope they all had a fantastic time.

The one little flowergirl with the bright red cheeks, ohhhh, she was just so cute!

Yes, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I feel truly blessed to see so many people together in one spot and around the world to share in such fabulous energy.

Now if only we could take that same energy and apply it to climate change. Maybe Kate and William can help with that ;)
