Sorry folks this one takes a while
to load.
From New Brunswick, I flew to Calgary via Toronto.
I had a short stopover in Toronto but not long enough to do anything really
but look around the airport and of course buy some post cards so that I
would have something from there. Traveling around so much it was really
hard to collect souvenirs. I had to be very careful what I bought as I
had far too much stuff to carry around as it was heh heh heh.
My friend Rick picked me up in Calgary and
drove me up to Red Deer , which is about an hour and a half from Calgary.
I stayed with Karen and Ron and their family there.
What a delight it was to visit with them ...
Karen and I became very close and it was a sad day indeed the day I left
on the bus for Calgary again. We had a great time together and did a lot
of computer stuff and had a few wonderful outings in a short time. One
we both really enjoyed was the trip through the new prestige houses that
were open for inspection ..... what a laugh we had that afternoon
:-)
We also did a trip to Sylvan Lake. And I got
to see SNOW here too :-)
So it was a very memorable visit.
I went back to Calgary to Rick's again and
he took me up through the Rockies. I would have to say that for sheer beauty
... this was the place that will stay in my mind as AWESOME. I have
never been as impressed with surroundings the same way as the Rockies impressed
me .... I can't describe the feeling it gave me to stand and do a 360 degrees
and be totally surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains. Every bend
in the road was more breath-taking than the last :-)
I know my photos do not do it justice but
I will share them with you anyway.
This is Mothers Day brunch ... it was just
wonderful ... Jonathan, Michael, Cameron, Ron, Sydney and Karen.
