Moving - Sold our Home

Things are happening quickly around here. We had put our home for sale on Tuesday and did sale in 1 day. We have to be out of the home by April 16 and we still don't have a home in Ottawa. We will be going on a House Hunting Trip soon. We hope to find a house with early occupancy. If not, we will have to rent for a little while.

I would love to leave comments on all of your blogs but will be back in business probably in May after we are settled in the new home. It's a big move, we are leaving Vancouver Island and are going to Ottawa in Ontario. Finally we will be close to our two oldest kids.  We are happy and we have mixed feelings at the same time.  We love this place but our hearts are somewhere else.

Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake

The theme this month for our Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club is ''A Taste of Spring''. It surely taste like Spring today. We have a nice sun and the weather is warm in the Valley.

Last week I spent 5 days, in Vancouver, for the Olympics and we had such a great time. The weather was beyond expectations, sunny and warm during the day. It was so nice to see Canadians so proud of wearing red and white everywhere. Some journalists even said that they never saw that spirit at any other Games. I got tickets for one event, a hockey game between Russians and the Czechs. Granville Island was a French Quarter and we spent lot's of time there. We saw some singers from Québec and other shows. Was a great experience and I'm glad I got the chance to be at the Olympics in my own country.

For our Supper Club I baked a delicious Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake from Cooking Light. I had made this cake in the past and did use blueberries instead of raspberries. It was really good also.
