Road Trip!

This past Saturday we took a "road trip" to Edmonton to IKEA. We really did need to take this trip - for two reasons. One - to get some cabinets for the now cleaned up laundry room at home and bookshelf for here at the office. Two - to try out the "last adventure" of 2007, purchase of a new truck.

Would you prefer to hear about the laundry room cabinets or the new truck? I figured so!

Construction is over! Our pick-up served us very, very well and fulfilled every task we gave it over the last number years while building The Station. It was a blessing over and over again! BUT we are onto a new phase and stage in life. Even though we are empty nesters, when the little birdies come home we go places together. And seeing as the little birdies all have such long legs, we realized the need for a more comfortable vehicle to travel in together. So ..... at the end of 2007 we traded in the red pick up for a steel blue Avalanche. This Papa and Mama bird don't mind the extra little comforts at all! The Papa bird is especially happy to have his command start again. Even though our Alberta weather is deceptively mild for this time of year - it is still winter out there! So to make this long story short - ROAD TRIP!



HAPPY PAPA BIRD!

And of course when it is time to leave, as you load up your vehicle with the goodies you found, what else would you shout out but ....



"START THE CAR!"
