Last week was chilly in Greater Vancouver, but the sunrises and sunsets completely made up for the cold mornings and snow pile parking. This gorgeous sunset was seen from New Westminster.

Well, November has slipped by, and I can’t help but say good riddance. Suffice it to say it was not my favourite month.Β BUT! I also experienced small wins among the “UGH, BOO.” portion of life. I didn’t start NaNoWriMo until two thirds the...
