Packing is never fun but I tried to do it systematically and put more into the suitcase and still stay under the 50 lb limit. It will be ready to go once I pack my toiletries after I do my evening shower, etc to avoid that delay in the morning.
I tried to check-in at WestJet and was denied several times until I kicked out and used a secondary Rewards login, then I was able to check-in and pay for my suitcase ($30). Angie had me login to her work computer to be able to print theBoarding pass and the bag receipt. That gave us some grief too but we managed to fight through it.
After a homey lunch of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich, I crashed for 90 minutes before I went with Angie to pick up Russ at work. Just to show you the consideration that these amazing people show me, Angie got up early to drive Russ to work in the early morning so the truck would be available here in case I needed it.... I didn't, but these guys wanted me to have that option. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of these caring people.
One reason that I was asked to go on the trip to get Russ was to be able to stop and pics of the expansive Rockies panorama. To show my appreciation, we found a nearby bar that was again having a wing night special,.. my treat...
Sister-in-law Eileen managed to get the Ancestry DNA kit and brought it over. A person can't just give a lock of hair or a piece of their ear.... A person must spit a huge amount into a long tube which is then sealed in a mailing kit. Eileen has much experience in this process so she will activate my code and mail the sample. Expected results in 6-8 weeks.... Maybe I will be my mother's uncle or something similar in our complicated family tree.
The Raptors bowed ignomaniously out of the NBA playoffs, beat by a whopping 35 points. Now we can turn our attention to the NHL playoffs to begin in a few days.
Goodbye Alberta.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
