I was awake at 4am and didn't dare fall back asleep as I had lots to get done before leaving on my trip south. I got up at 5am to start chores and snuck upstairs at 6am because I figured the coffee would be brewed. Ash was sitting in the dark in the kitchen and scared the bejeezus out of me.
I finished chores, showered, etc and finished packing. I had too much for a backpack, so I filled half a large suitcase so it was light.
I packed the Juke and was underway by 9am as I had a few stops planned. I gassed up at the Airport Costco as suggested by Ash and was out of there by 9:30am. I can't remember the last time that I drove Highway 2, and was amazed how I remembered events at certain locations along the route...
I met Bella's brother Laurier and his lovely wife Wendy for lunch at Tim Horton's on Gasoline Alley in Red Deer at 11:30am. They have always stayed in contact and I have appreciated that. They are a very nice and understanding couple. I kept asking where they found the Fountain of Youth!!!
Then I met my sweet God-daughter Erin at the Dairy Queen in Airdrie at 2pm. This was another great visit with someone very special to me.
I timed my arrival in Bowness for 4pm to coincide with good friends Russ and Angie where I will be staying today and tomorrow. We had wing night at Boston Pizza and watched the opening IIHF Women's hockey championship game, won by Canada 4-0 over Switzerland. We watched Calgary Flames lose again, Toronto Blue Jays win again, and Brad Gushue's team beat the USA in curling. What a great night!
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
