Monday September 1, 2025

I didn't do much Friday or Saturday except to plan and pack for my trip south to visit family and friends and to enjoy God's Country...

I did get the last of my deliveries and I do hereby declare that I will NEVER ever order another thing off a Facebook sponsored ad, because all 4 recent orders came from China and they were all falsely advertised and completely useless.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sunday, I thought that I would be missing the long weekend traffic but the highways were incredibly busy but moving well enough.  Calgary itself was worse, but I got to where I needed to bein the expected time.

I had a lovely visit with my brother Fern and his wife Eileen before heading to my sister Leonie's  near Longview.  I never took any photos until I hit this area near Okotoks which I love and where I lived for 9 years previously.

The Swainson Hawks seemed to be everywhere and I managed to get my "Alberta" picture (encompassing the Rockies, an oil pumpjack, livestock, and hay bales).  

We had a nice dessert in Longview at a restaurant where Leonie's grandaughter works.  They have really impressive photos of horses on the walls. 

And I used the P1100 to get the moon shots below...

Because I am using this ancient laptop, everything is horribly slow and I have been working almost 5 hours already.  I most certainly will be upgrading to a much more powerful laptop after I return to Edmonton Thursday evening.....

Looking forward to the Calgary-Edmonton Labour Day Football game this afternoon.  And it is rumored that we may have Aurora Borealis tonight.... Here's hoping...... 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
