Ol' Man Winter has visited us
Well, seems like Calgary has finally got some winter, lots of cold weather two weeks ago, now a week of snow, and not so bad cold weather. Personally I have had to dress in layers on more that one occasion, this is from the person who throws on a light jacket with a full sleaved t-shirt thick cotton top!!!
Yesterday we cancelled going to Banff to see Mark and Leanne, due to the fact that we could not find a cheepish place to stay for the night. If the weather conditions were better, I would have driving back from Banff after dinner, it's only 95 min or so trip. Though I deffinately DID NOT want to drive through snowy conditions at late at night. I did this once, and would avoid it if I could.
This morning I went out to the airport to meet Mark & Leanne, we chatted for a bit, and I gave them the hanging fish that Roanna & I made for them (looks like the fish below, except it has no fin but it has a copper hook in it's mouth). Leanne works at the Bermuda Aquarium, so I thought she would like that. Then they were off to wait in the departures lounge. Their plane was delayed by an hour when I left, but hopefully with luck, they are in the air by now.
Back home and a bit of shopping done, had some lunch, and currently making some Hungarian Goulash for dinner. Then tonight we are supposed to meet up with Debbie and Curtis for Movie and some drinks, then stay the night at thier place, then we don't have to worry about driving home. I think we are supposed to see the Matidor, though I guess we shall find out a bit later. Tonight we will also give Debbie and Curtis thier housewarming gift (we made it as well, but I won't say anything here yet).
Other than that, so far it is a quiet weekend, tomorrow we are off to visit the parents and show off some of our new items we made. Roanna went through the job section of the newspaper today (this is the bigger working section than the rest of the week), circled a few things, so I we can hopefully get a few more companies to send out resumes to...
Take care everyone.
