Weather's fine there ... etc (thank you Ian and Sylvia)Got the boys to Shelly's, north of Edmonton, and their dad picked them up. The next day she and I took a tour of the local sights (actually a reconnaissance for free perennials left behind by a greenthumb who moved; highly successful) and in the evening we went to see my old neighbour and friend Helen in the city. We spent the following morning in coffee and chat, and then I headed for home again.
It was an eight-hour drive each way, smoothed by listening to John Grisham's novels: The Firm, The Client, and A Time to Kill. Before the last leg of the journey I stopped and spent one short night with Cathy in Saskatoon. With luck I'll be seeing her again in a couple weeks when we go back into the city to meet with friends coming out from Kelowna.
Finally it feels like summer. There's heat and at least a hint of rain. Mom's roses have begun to bloom.
I would love to take a drive on this road, Kate! Well - I don't know about 8 hours worth...but a nice drive anyhow. It looks so inviting and stress free!
ReplyDeleteKate, I'm happy to say that the highway between Saskatoon and Edmonton is twinned all the way, so that takes care of the major portion of the driving. The photo above is taken just north of Edmonton, near Shelly's home.
