guestbook volume #4

Here is where you can find old friends, relatives, neighbours - and have them find you. A meeting place for Nova Scotia Ex-pats - for those who moved away and those who didn't. And if you wish, you can also tell the world how much you enjoy browsing the Highway7.com Ezine.

Make sure you also check the other volumes of our guestbook. You'll be glad you did.

I left Nova Scot1a 10 years ago to join my brother in Toronto. Today I live in California and I really miss my home.
I think about it every day and I was wondering if anyone from Nova Scotia who is currently living in the United States would like to comment on the differences in the United States and how they adjusted.
I am in the Computer Industry. I work about 80 hours per week.
Maybe that's why I miss my home.

I live in Bradford, Ont with my husband, Mike, our daughter Chrissy, 21 and son Sean, 18, plus 2 dogs. I have taught and lived here since 1977. We go to Inv. to visit now and then, with our most recent visit being last summer. I attended St.F.X. from fall of 67 to 71 and right now I keep in touch, barely, with Delores MacDonald, formerly from Isle Madame and now living in Port Hawksbury. Anybody know her? A freind from X that I haven't seen since is a Margie mcNeil from Sydney. Probably a fairly common name but this Margie was a great friend of a lady called Marlene that died suddenly about 5/6 years ago. I have a sister living in Halifax and a brother in Dartmouth. Plus a brother in Wetaskawin, Alberta and one in Dawson Creek. Needles to say, we don't see much of one another.

I joined the military in '79 and have lived just about everywhere. I spent the last 17 years thinking of home and saving for one.When you live in CAPE BRETON everybody says that there is nothing here, well I just think that they are taking the place for granted! In less than three years I and the wife are going home. And if I ever think that it will be a mistake I will just think of ontario.
