I've been getting kind of lax again lately on posting to this site but then again, when you ain't doin much of anything, there ain't much to report. The weather continues to be glorius, which can only lead to one thing and that is sitting around enjoying it. I know that when I'm back at work in a couple of weeks I am going to so miss this lifestyle. However, we have not been totally without activity. I am trying to get out on the bike at least once a day and to that end, I have pampered my end and have bought a new seat for the bike which is more like a couch than a bike seat. However it is sooo comfortable and so much better than the little log that was on there. I also bought a speedometer/odometer to log the mileage I do, for whatever reason. I thought it might motivate me more to set some goals. I also got a helmet which Dianne thinks looks pretty stylish. What do you think?



We will be on the road again this weekend as we have to drive down to Red Deer to pick Sandi up as she is coming home for the weekend to work a shift at Superstore in order to stay on the roster there. Unfortunately, she has to be back at Eagle's Nest by 2:00 pm on Sunday so we will have to have her back in Red Deer to catch her ride by 8:00 am Sunday morning. We are thinking that as we are down there we might just carry on to Stettler and take in the Alberta Prairie Railway steam train excursion which leaves Stettler at 11:00. It would make a great day trip and it would make getting up at 5:00am a little more worthwhile. Things are still up in the air as we may have some prior committments in town that day
