We did get to go camping once more with Cor and Joanne out to Red Lodge. And yes, there really is a fire this time! If you look back to a former blog you will see us "pretending" to warm our hands over the fire. There were no fire pits down at Chain Lakes. Red Lodge certainly has them though and we were thankful for that. And for a trailer, and a furnace, and power hook-up to bake potatoes for supper in the microwave, and a nice big kitchen to do LOTS of dishes in! September is a bit nippier than August. But it is exciting to go camping comfortably in the Fall!
Peter and I went out Thursday night after work to secure a couple of spots and Cor and Joanne arrived on Friday night. The drive back into Lacombe wasn't too long even if it was to work again for one more day before being able to enjoy camping for real! So this summer we managed to camp three weekends which is pretty good considering we didn't pick up the trailer until the end of July!
The trailer is fully cleaned and winterized now so it is down to business here at the office and at home! Speaking of business .....
For years now I have wanted to see this Giant Roadside Attraction in person. We needed to go to another small town to present a building proposal to a church in the town. By the time the meeting was done it was getting late and dark already. BUT before our long drive home we drove to the park displaying this landmark so I could see it - lit up in all it's splendor! To get an idea of the size - imagine my tall husband standing underneath this Pysanka. He would still clear the bottom by a couple of feet! It truly is a magnificent tribute to the people of the town. So if we have to work we can still make it fun!
This pretty well brings our adventures up to the past weekend. That is a blog all on it's own though and I have to get a few business things done now. I did say it is a busy time of year!
