1957:   First emergence, and the privileged role of youngest child
Childhood – exploring Canada through causeways, dams and infrastructure with family and favorite civil engineer, Dad

Remembered pleasures – learning to bike through prairie lanes,  Cut Bank, Saskatchewan, worms for sale, Grand Falls, Newfoundland, fossil hunting, pearl collecting, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, reading books in trees, Amherst, Nova Scotia, green uniforms, Rothesay, New Brunswick — and always lots of driving

1975:    Second Emergence, On my own – the urban time
Hard and fast exploration via cities, first jobs, and first training, travel by thumb south and west, love (not the first) and marriage, Calgary, Alberta

1982:   Third Emergence, Mothering – the rural time
Exploration through observation and sharing, nest building, garden growing, birth x 3 (my amazing daughters), community and first home business ventures

Present:   Fourth Emergence
Embracing the middle years, and ready to play in a whole new way...
