Gorgeous post Koralee! We have been enjoying the comforts of home these past few days and enjoying all the Olympic excitement. So exciting with Canada's First Gold Medal win for mogul skier Alexandre Bilodeau :-)

Absolutely, don't worry about us. If I was in the home town olympics I would be taking in every minute I could. But, of course, I would have on my new Vancouver Olympic jacket I just posted. I think you want one....he-he...

Enjoy every moment, every maple leave, everything RED and White.

See you when it's over.... but please, keep taking lots of pictures to share.

Way too Go on the GOLD for Men's Mogals..

Dearest Koralee,
It was fun to see you at the Cinderella ball, all dressed up in your robin's egg blue gown! Just breathtaking, I tell you! Ah, to dance....your daughter will have fond memories of these days. I sure do; dance leaves it's footsteps of joy as impressions in your heart, never to be forgotten no matter what your age!

Dance on my dearest Koralee!
