I had not planned on heading for home for a few more days and today was supposed to be the day I went to Vancouver Island to spend a couple of days with my brother Doug and his wife Erin. But, when driving through the mountains on the way west, I noticed a sign that… Continue reading Winnipeg to Vancouver – Heading for Home – Day 1 & 2

Day 12 – Jasper to Banff
Another beautiful morning and there was no frost on my car windows. 🙂 I took a picture of the mountains from my room in the dark before heading over for breakfast. Mountains are beautiful even in the dark. For breakfast this morning I had banana bread french toast and it was delicious. I didn’t stop… Continue reading Day 12 – Jasper to Banff
Day 11 – Jasper
I’m back in Alberta and have frost on my windshield again! As far as I know, Manitoba hasn’t had frost yet. Of course, I don’t know – but feel the need to complain! 🙂 Once the frost was removed, it turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day here in Jasper. I had breakfast at… Continue reading Day 11 – Jasper
Day 10 – Port Coquitlam to Jasper
I got off to an early start on a cloudy, but dry morning today. Driving east instead of west, means that I get to look right at the bright sun in the early morning instead of afternoon, but I got lucky to have the clouds with me until almost noon. Then the sun came out… Continue reading Day 10 – Port Coquitlam to Jasper

I am happy to say that I finally received my money about a week ago and it… Continue reading Moving Right Along

I’m Out of Here
It is now February and is time for the minus thirties stuff to end! I woke up to -31C with a windchill of -43C. There is no way Chester and I will be getting our walk in this morning when it is this cold. 😦 Maybe we should load up the car and just start… Continue reading I’m Out of Here
Vacation 2010
On June 20th my friend Connie and I left for our vacation to Calgary, Banff, Jasper and Edmonton. We drove the trans canada highway and were hoping the the flooding from the day before had receded and the highway would be open at the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as our 14 hour drive… Continue reading Vacation 2010
