I have not updated my journal in forever! I've been really busy working on Pooka's Sphinx adoptable, running events and colouring and I've been having tons of fun with them! I'll post some of my favorite colour jobs up here soon.... by soon I mean after our Canadian road trip. In just a few days we're driving out of Elliot Lake and heading west. We've got a few stops planned, but mostly we're just meandering west to see what we can see and going till we run out of money. We're traveling pretty frugally so hopefully we can make it last. A few of our stops involve dinosaur parks and museums and historical villages.... We're also sort of looking for a new place to relocate. As pretty as Elliot Lake is, its honestly starting to feel a bit like a really sweet trap. Outwardly its a beautiful city surrounded by amazing wilderness, but if you start to look to closely you see all the empty storefronts, the huge imbalance between those with money and those without, not to mention the amazing record setting unemployment here (its a city of about 12 000 people, but barely over 2000 people have full time work). I also wouldn't mind getting away from our bizzare, vandalizing trailer trash neibours either. (nothing personal about people who live in trailers, cuz I do! But the honorific of 'trailer trash' and all of its stereotypes was pretty much designed for our neibours!)

We've been doing a lot of driving around lately and I've got a few great pics to share. I think thats it for now, all updated. (-8
