… or a really cool rock garden display at the Calgary Stampede.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like christmas. From seeing Theatre Calgary’s “A Christmas Carol” to the illuminate lights on Stephen Ave, it’s all putting me in the right mood.

The play? Highly recommend!
The lights? This snowflake is especially lovely.

Sprinklers

On Monday Sarah and I bundled up and ventured into the outdoors. We gossiped about our neighbours, breathed fresh air, and stretched our legs. We also discovered what happens when you forget to turn off your automatic sprinkler for the winter…

Whoa! What happened to the last couple weeks?

Kept busy with fun things such as the Joel & Louise Workshop and a weeks worth of birthday celebrations, my blog has dropped to the absolute bottom of my priority list. Sigh.

As part of my celebration with my parents, I took them to my new favourite look out. Located just a short inner-city hike away from my house, this spot is amazingly peaceful and beautiful both during the day and at night.

Five

This morning Meghan flew off on the first segment of her year long adventure. Yesterday, being her last day in Calgary, we went and touristed around downtown. The World Skills Championship has been running this past week, and Calgary set up a skills village at Olympic Plaza. It’s always nice to see people in the downtown core on weekends.

This statue of the Famous Five has been in Olympic Plaza since mid-October 1999. 10 years ago!
