2 more sleeps

Well how unusual for Calgary (not) another dump of snow last night. but the weather folk have said Thursday
(should) be sunny,  forgive my skepticism but I'll believe it when I see it.

Yesterday Dorothy packed our bags, with a little help from me :) she prefers me not to be around when she's packing, which cuts me to the quick but I've learned over the years to beat a hasty retreat when I see the glint in her eye.
I must say she did a fantastic job, reaching our goal of ONE case each for a five week cruise, I applaud her.

We'll miss Hailey's birthday this year, our grand daughter who will be 15 years young, where does the time go! We'll also miss our grandson Aidan's birthday again too as we'll be at sea on his birthday in October. BUT he'll be at sea too as Jolene, Tim and Aidan are cruising at that time so Aidan will be on board for his birthday, he'll love that.

P1000597.jpg image by toeknee289Tim has kindly offered to drive us to the airport Thursday morning, after rush hour is over though it seems these days it's perpetual rush hour.

Let's hope we'll see plenty of these over the next few weeks.

  1. You are old Toeknee L the Westcoasters said
    And your hair has become very white
    Yet you incessantly sail around the world
    Do you think at your age that is right?.

    In my youth Toeknee replied I feared it might injure the brain
    But know that I'm perfectly sure I have none
    Why, I do it again and again.

  2. At my age I'm lucky I've most of my wits,
    not all though for sure, cos I put up with twits.
    Twits of the ilk of my Westcoaster friend,
    a person I've sailed with and may do again.

    But Shelagh's a darling, that's why we're there,
    if it was just you mate, who'd give a care.
    Of course I don't mean that I wish you no ill,
    gosh darn it, my memory, where is that pill :)
