| The Haven, Gabriola Island |
Tonight we went over to the Haven to a concert. Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard played guitars and sang. Both are "Islanders". We have both been to their concerts before in Calgary and in Okotoks and we enjoy their music. The difference being that tonight we are "Islanders", too.
Then from the row behind us we overhear a woman talking about her new neighbors and how she listened to their water pump going continuously. She went on for about 5 minutes talking about how they must have come from the city and must be washing everything in the house and didn't they know that they should watch their water use. We know that she isn't our neighbour, because we have met our neighbour and she is nice. Secondly, we are very water conscious as we had a well and septic system in our other home, too. George finally turned around and introduced us to them and said that we were new on the island - I think her mouth dropped open- but then he went on to say that we are very water conscious. She never did introduce herself??? I wonder to myself "how long does it take before you become a true islander ?"
