Its a Great Day in the Valley

It seems like I have been living in valleys all my life.  I surmise as pioneers settled it made sense for people to congregate close to a river where water was plentiful.  The other reason was land was more fertile for growing crops and grazing, once the land was cleared.   I grew up in the Ottawa Valley near Pembroke Ontario. I worked in the Ottawa Valley near Ottawa our nations capital.  I worked in Montreal again part of the St. Lawrence River Valley.  We then moved West to the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, and now we are spending the winter months in the Valley of the Sun, in Mesa Arizona.  I guess I'm not a mountain man or a seashore guy but a true Valley Guy.  So it is a Great Day in the Valley wherever that valley is....
