Turkey and Feng Shui

Last weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving, and our family gathered at my parents' house in Langley to eat turkey and celebrate the harvest. My brother came over from Victoria for the weekend, and Douglas came back from working with Mark on the skate park in Idaho just in time and full of stories.

We've had a busy week, with lots of work and bread baking, and sorting out all the stuff that Douglas brought back from Idaho. We finally have all of our junk out of storage, and boy do we have a lot of it. The shui of our house got all fenged up, but Douglas spent a couple of days sorting it out, and now it looks better than ever. It's finally feeling like home. My papasan chair is installed in a corner, tables are covered in Guatemalan textiles, the stacks of books reach the ceiling in places, and Douglas can find most of his tools. Ah. Home.

Here are a couple of pictures from Douglas' skate park building trip. Here's the skate park:



And here's Douglas enjoying some Idaho snow:
