“I expect to lose some friends due to the distance but I hope the awesomest ones will keep in touch and maybe even visit.”

If you lose any friends over a move, then you may want to possibly reconsider your definition of “friend.” It shouldn’t matter, really, how far away in distance or time you are from someone else. I have (at least) two people (though no more than five) where we may not have contact for up to five years.

Get us together and, within ten minutes and/or the initial catching-up, it’s as if no time has really passed.

I love that myself — do you?

WOW! I must have missed all this stuff about your moving to Kelowna. While it’s not Sibera as you say, it’s certainly not Vancouver, either.

Uncle Fuzz and I will be in Vancouver for square dance convention (again) in 2013; we certainly will make a trek to the interior and plan for it to see you. However, if you wish to come to Vancouver to see us, that’s mighty fine as well.

Big hugs to you!

Alison might be speaking more about how the dry air may be better for acne. Humidity supposedly aggravates it so I assume dry air might improve my skin condition. We shall see. Or, I will anyways.

I think Alison is off-base about skin. I found the following, “The skin, however, prefers humidity to dryness”, at http://www.pg.com/science/skincare/Skin_tws_48.htm.

The famous “English Rose” skins comes from keeping out of the sun and a wet climate.

Sorry Gill!!

I’ve been a lurker on your site for a while (but no worries — I’m a girl who just thinks you’re funny). I moved here from the States and basically freaked out. And, you’re right — things *will* change. You’ll change and the people in Van will change. But it’s always for the better…and think of the fantastic experiences you’ll have living in, and learning about, a new city. And just think of how fabulous your skin will look in that amazing dry climate?! Best of luck!!

Welcome to Kelowna and best of luck with your new job.

It’s a small town so don’t be surprised if someone does a double take and says hello.

if there isn’t, there should be.

Just how far away is the nearest Tim Horton’s?
