Well to catch up, as I have been away for awhile, my little brother is back from Afghanistan and finished his RN and finally has a full time job in the ICU/CCU in a large hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

You see, when we hit Revelstoke, B.C. yesterday the Farmer's Market was on... Need I say more?! Thirty-four dollars later we left armed with gluten-free buns, gluten-free & sugar-free energy balls, gluten-free venison saskatoon sausages (to die for!) and some hormone, anti-biotic free ground turkey. Oh! And ...
