I'm just coming out of a long weekend here: Victoria Day weekend. We went away with our family down to Grandma and Grandpa's home away from home near Waterton National Park.
I took the kids to Waterton while Ken worked on a project back at 'the ranch'. I got in my self portrait with an old friend: Cameron Falls.
The kids and I hiked up Bear's Hump and went on a guided horseback trail ride, which was so fun I was grinning like a fool the entire ride.
Ken's project (creating a dog run for Flex) didn't take nearly as long as he'd thought it would, and it turned out he probably could have finished the dog run and still joined us in Waterton. Too bad for dad - he was mowing while we were horseback riding.
The last time we spent a long weekend at 'the ranch' I had the best surprise of seeing an old friend of mine at church in the nearest town. I was really hoping to see her again this weekend, and I wasn't disappointed! My friend Heather lived in Calgary a little more than 10 years ago, and I got to know her by serving as her visiting teacher and also I was her counsellor in our ward primary. Heather was really my mentor and example in those days, and just chatting with her in the lobby of the church this Sunday gave me a boost. I got her address and phone number this time, and I'm going to use them both. Hooray for National New Friends, Old Friends Week!
