It has been over five weeks since we arrived home on April 22nd.Life has been busy
since.I thought I should finish the 2010 Winter Adventure blog to let our friends & family
know we arrived back in Calgary safe and sound and enjoying life.
We left Golden Village Palms Resort,Hemet,California on April 20th passing through Las Vegas,
Mesquite,NV and Utah. After 4 new RV tires were installed in Beaver,Utah and driving 11&1/2hours that day,we stopped in Nephi,Utah for the night.
We got an early start April 21st.We travelled through Salt Lake City and the rest of Utah into Idaho and Montana. After another 11 hours of driving we stopped at the Flying J truck stop in Great Falls,Montana for the night.
After a good breakfast we were on the road again.We had no trouble at the USA/Canada border
bringing back extra liquor and paying the duty on it. We had spring-like conditions all the way from California. After 28-29 hours of driving in total and another 9000 kms. on our truck we got home at 3p.m. April 22nd and 18 deg.C.
Since we arrived home the weather has not been good.Some warm days but right now it is snowing and cold 2 deg.C. Winter does not want to leave! We spent six days out at the Esso Campground over the Memorial Day weekend working hard at the clean-up but having fun too.
We had a 60th Birthday party at our house for Shirley & Jean two weeks ago(beautiful day & evening). On a very sad note our friend Margaret Tedd died suddenly three days after we got back. We enjoyed Graham & Margaret's company this winter down south.We will miss her.
I am enjoying golfing every Tuesday morning ( 7:30a.m.) with a ladies league. We are enjoying our grandchildren Liam & Annika. Liam loves to come over for sleepovers. Almost four,he is quite a character. Such a fun age! Annika is sitting up now on her own and her hair is going curly.
As Annika struggles through her many challenges,Derek & Carol are amazing parents. Ralph & I
try to give them as much love and support as we can. We look forward to babysitting them tonight. Carol is healthy,getting quite big but has carpal tunnel in both wrists with this pregnancy. Carol is due July 2nd but they think she will have the new baby early. We are all very excited about the new little one. We will keep you posted.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. And thanks for reading the blog. It's been fun. Wherever life's journey may take you, we wish it to be a safe,happy and healthy one with not TOO many bumps on the road. HAPPY TRAVELS!
