Way up North
My tenant from BlogExplosion, a blog traffic site, this week is NewfieGirl. She's from Marystown Newfoundland. Which, in case you're not familiar with the town, is in the southernmost part of Newfoundland, on the island part of the province.
I've been to Canada many times. I grew up in the Adirondack Mountains which is just a hop skip and a jump from Montreal, Quebec and I went to school near Rochester NY which is across Lake Ontario from Toronto, Ontario. All these places are considered pretty far north by most. However NewfieGirl's location makes all these places look like they're deep in the Sunny South! LOL Brrrr!
That's Taco over there to the left. Cute, huh?
NewfieGirl works from home doing design work but doesn't mention this much on her blog. However in the 4 months that she's been blogging, she's moved twice. The first time because the house she and her husband (and don't forget Taco, her dog!) were renting was sold out from under them, and the second time because the house they had moved into was just too small. The second move found them going to a big house out in the countryside. The reason I mention this? Well, the second move meant going back to dial-up and you can imagnine how painful that is to anyone that makes money off of being on the Internet!
For the most part Newfiegirl's blog is the definition of cute. Her dog Taco is just adorable, she has lovely pictures of sweet food like slushies and cheesecake, and her dad's cat Simba as well. However occasionally you see the spirit underneath the "cute" like her post on June 8 when she posted about her father's cancer returning and the loss of her mother 6 years ago. Or the time she and her husband were almost hit by another car and then there's the kidney stones incident. 8 of them! Ouch!
Go on. Give her a visit. You know you want to!
