Monday Afternoon
Hi all,
Hope all the Mom's out there had a great Mother's Day yesterday. I think that both our moms did in Calgary.
My Mom arrived on Saturday, we dropped her off at the in-laws and then went home to bed. Sunday I went work and was picked up by Roanna, did some shopping came home and boiled up some corn. Roanna made a marinade for the asparagus we had then in was off to be for a quick nap. We arrived at the in-laws home at around 330ish, chatted and sat in the garden and gave our moms gifts.
A little later we were joined by Richard and Kim, then they warmed up/preped up and cooked dinner. I had made an interesting sausage/potato salad, and of course the corn, Richard cooked the asparagus on the grill (and also the steaks). So both moms had to just sit back and relax (and me as well!! That's called good pre-preparation!!).
I also wandered around and took some photos, and got some pretty good ones of a robin that has a nest in the back garden. All in all it was a very nice (but sometimes chilly) day.
Today my Mom picked up some shoping stuff, and was dropped off at the apartment, then I drove her to the bus depot, so she could catch the bus to Banff. Hopefully by now, she should be checked into the hotel in Banff now, she took a few roles of film so (hopefully) we should have some pictures up on the blog by the end of the week.
As for me, same ol' same ol'. Catching up with all the news from home, Hi to everyone!! Roanna & I do miss Bermuda on occasion (read when it's snowing and colder than a witch's you know what outside).
I went to the mall today, finally picked up a new pair of sneakers. I had two pair, on had a air pillowy type "reflextive action" type doflicky on the heel, well that picked up a flat last year, my other pair with all the walking happening lately has slowly disintergrated, I had about 2/3 left on my left sole!! Picked up a couple of cheap movies, and a book on massage tips and tricks. It was also kinda funny to see the Father's Day banners up and flying in the stores already.....
Aside from that have a great day.
