This gorgeous place where I live!

With the sunshine today and a skiff of new snow on the glacier contrasting with the fall colors, I just had to take my camera out for a few photos.

Trip to Rocky

For Thanksgiving I drove to Rocky Mountain House via Radium and Banff.  The weather was gorgeous, showing off the scenery to its best advantage.  Every time that I drive that way I marvel at the incredible forces that formed these mountains.  It is no wonder that everyone who comes to Canada wants to see this amazing scenery.
Wanda came to Rocky to visit and look after her grandchildren while their usual babysitter took some time off after having a baby.  Since I had the time as vacation and the weather looked really nice, I decided to go too.  The weather did not keep its promise!!! but most of the time was OK, until it snowed.
The kids and grandkids were great, food was great, there was the perfect amount of wine, Wanda and I had a really nice visit.  We went to the corn maze at Lacombe http://www.kraayfamilyfarm.com/
What a nice spot.  Too bad the wind didn't let us enjoy all that they had to offer.  But we had to get home to cook the turkey so we left some activities for another day.
