Hard to believe. We've been back almost 3 weeks and this is the first chance I've had to sit down and write. We've been working like crazy; even through our vacation. The trunk show in High River went very well and I'm very grateful to my in-laws for giving me that opportunity. My children were great assistants in the show as well.
It also never fails that while we were away, the garden ran amok. I had to cut the cucumber vine off the cable wire and garden hose wheel.
Needless to say, I haven't had time for knitting, jewelry making, or much of anything else. I hope it won't be too long a hiatus before I post again.
One of the things we wanted to see this time around was the Columbia Icefield. To that end, we headed toward Red Deer and camped there for a couple of nights. It was the first time the children and I had ever been camping. The icefield was breathtaking. It is very odd to have to bundle up in the middle of summer to go onto an ice field. We even drank glacier water!
We went to Jasper in the Rockies to camp that night. It’s bear country. Luckily, the only wild life we saw was bighorn sheep.
On the way back to High River, we stopped by Sunwapta Falls and saw a very interesting van.
The next day, we went to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. It’s a UNESCO national heritage site and has a fabulous visitor centre.
And here’s my favourite rainbow picture to date.
It was a good vacation but it was really good to be home again.
