A very different week! I traveled, instead of by boat at 5km\/h, by rail and air to Canada, through Manchester to Calgary, much faster! I spent the week visiting family and friends; primarily at a family reunion at a guest camp near Bowden in central Alberta. We have used this camp before, and it has great facilities for the types of gatherings the Mortimers have- cabins for those who are beyond sleeping in tents, tenting spaces, travel trailer space and a large field for games and evening fire.<\/p>\n

The weather was perfect: warm days and cooler nights. There was some smoke in the air from forest fires, but not noxious or nasty. We enjoyed lots of times to chat and play, including a welcome swim\/float in the Little Red Deer River. This was a chance to reconnect with cousins whom I hadn’t seen for many years.<\/p>\n

We were gathering to celebrate my parents’ 60th anniversary. It was a special time with lots of family members!<\/p>\n

On Sunday, we traveled<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a>

to Barrhead, where Mom and Dad live, and we gathered there with all 5 of my sisters, something that hadn’t happened for 6 years. We also celebrated Heather’s birthday. Another special time with family.<\/p>\n

I then spent several days traveling to meet other friends and family members. I was fortunate to be able to do this with my daughter, Nicole, and we shared some great times together.<\/p>\n
