It sounds like a wonderful place. :)<BR/><BR/>What I think is cool is that my Mom is "chatting" with my sister-in-law's mother-in-law on my blog's comment page! I love blogs!<BR/><BR/>RZ-I hear Survivor has a good twist to it this year...racially divided teams or something like that? Should have an interesting outcome! I haven't been able to watch it for a couple of years now :'(<BR/>...but we are currently renting season 5 of "24"!

We even have a town crier that comes out for special occasions. You are welcome to visit when you return to Canada. Lots of things for families to do in our area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31012888.post-1160107569601056212006-10-06T13:06:00.000+09:002006-10-06T13:06:00.000+09:00I wonder if we could get a town chime for P-Rupe.K...I wonder if we could get a town chime for P-Rupe.<BR/><BR/>Kelly, we're watching Survivor, thinking of you! :)rachel joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181423039425342650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31012888.post-1160076798499627062006-10-06T04:33:00.000+09:002006-10-06T04:33:00.000+09:00That's kind of what I had figured, based on your g...That's kind of what I had figured, based on your great culture lessons - not a curfew but treated as one.Laurel-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440164880699233929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31012888.post-1160054339536942682006-10-05T22:18:00.000+09:002006-10-05T22:18:00.000+09:00The chime is and isn't a curfew.

If you didn't it would be extremely rude. The evening is family-time and usually pretty routine. (And during school, you don't mess with their routine!)Colin Madlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096567704713672660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31012888.post-1160028544571079342006-10-05T15:09:00.000+09:002006-10-05T15:09:00.000+09:00rz - nope.kelly - is that chime a curfew (all chil...rz - nope.<BR/><BR/>kelly - is that chime a curfew (all children must return home now) for children or a reminder (it's 5 o'clock now)?Laurel-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440164880699233929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31012888.post-1160020788899042662006-10-05T12:59:00.000+09:002006-10-05T12:59:00.000+09:00very interesting about the town clock.
