There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Albert Einstein

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

About Me

Gill Bailey: The short version of my story is that I was born in Vancouver, raised in Spain between the islands of Mallorca, Ibiza and Tenerife. I fell in love with a Canadian man I met while he was on vacation with his father. The vacation was supposed to have been his fathers honeymoon (third failed marriage ouch); so he invited my future husband along instead. He used to get a kick out of telling his friends that his son met his future wife on his honeymoon. He convinced me to leave the lovely Canary Islands and move to Calgary Alberta, where according to my mama they actually plug in their cars in winter. I didn't believe her, being a West Coast girl, (see my sisters blog West Coast Journal link at the bottom) so I threw caution to the wind, and returned to my Canadian homeland, where there are four seasons, white Christmases, the rockies, Banff and many more beautiful places. There is also my husband and two wonderful kids now to share it with...this site is a pictorial journey of my life since I left Spain. My mothers blogs show what I left behind, see links at the bottom of the blog to Canary Birds Nest and Tenerife Journal.
