Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend; we certainly did here and the weather continued to cooperate and gave us some terrific sunny days. The plans with Sandi fell through, she decided at the last minute not to come home and so consequently we did not have to make a trip to Red Deer on Friday night to pick her up. It also meant we didn't have to run her back to Red Deer on Sunday morning, but we still made a trip south anyway as Dianne and I headed down to Stettler for a trip on the Alberta Prairie Railway. For a full pictorial chronicle of the day click here or go to the link under the Adventure Chronicles to the left. Then on Monday, after scraping all the bugs of the Camry, we headed down to Pigeon lake to visit some friends who have a summer getaway there. After a quick trip around the lake in the boat, we headed to shore for a yummy barbecue supper. So, today I was back scraping bugs off the Camry again.
We are quite shocked to hear of all the forest fires in BC and I guess it means we won't be taking any road trips into the mountains any time soon. Our hearts go out to all the people who have been evacuated from their homes. Many of them will probably not have a home to return to.
We just heard today that we are next on the list for the landscaper so we should be getting our front yard done soon, most likely the week I go back to work, leaving me with the problem of having to be in two places at once. It's ironic how I have been idling around this place all summer with no one calling and the minute I go back to work everything starts happenning. With my luck the window guys will probably show up the same week. But, no matter what, it will be great to finally get these two projects done as the yard looks like central Bahgdad at the moment and we certainly don't want to go through another winter with these shoddy windows.
