Having spent a summer being a barman and surfing in a small French beach town name Vieux-Boucau when I was 18 years old. Maybe not the best, but very close to the top of the list. 🙂

How can you not smile at the intrinsic joy of a feline laying in the grass. 🙂
I wish we saw each other more often
All of my family really. I live in Canada but most of my family is in France. Unfortunately, with 3 kids, going on vacation there is quite expensive. So to cope, we help them come over here, in Montreal, instead. 🙂
Summertime: it's a good thing
Summertime
I live in Montreal, where winters are arsh to say the least. Summertime brings an explosion of life to our city. FEstivals, parties and a general joie de vivre makes it the best time of the year for me.
Pizzédélic knows pizza pie
Gotta love their square, thin crust, very creative pizza!
I'd like to show my child Kuta Beach
Amazing beach with wonderful waves to start learning to surf.

If you’re a veteran feeling a little uncertain or a little blue about the changes made to the awards process this year, Ann Kingman and Candace of the 2010 BBAW Executive Board explain some of the reasoning behind the changes made.
One final note…we realize that the awards process can feel a little bit confusing, so we are looking over registrations to make sure they were done correctly. If you receive an email from the email address bbaw10@gmail.com this IS a legitimate email address for BBAW and is from a BBAW volunteer who may need some clarification from you about your registration.
