July 10, 2006

We had a good weekend in Calgary and Canmore, the concert great, and also good visits with Mike's family. The Stampede week was just beginning so the Snowbirds gave an air show at the beginning of the parade. We had a good view from Dick's apartment. The second picture was taken from his condo in Canmore where we spent Sat night. We got back to Harrogate on Sunday in time to have Dermot, Anne, their kids and Dermot's brother over for dinner. Today Greg got the stairs in which he had built at home over the weekend. They fit! It's great not to have to climb a ladder up to the roof to get to the tower. It rained like crazy, so the roof had to wait. Its about half done, going slower than Greg had hoped. They have a job lined up the week of the 24th at a lodge they have to fly in to, so the drywall is supposed to get taped and mudded that week (hired out). Seems like a lot left to do before the drywall goes up. Then they return the following week to get the windows in and finish up. We still have the light fixtures to purchase, but I'm sure we can handle that on our own. Big Dave is a guide on Saturdays with one of the rafting outfits on the Kicking Horse river- his raft flipped on Sat and everyone went in, he managed to get 5 clients in, and other boats picked up the other 3. One dislocated shoulder and one bloody face (not him).....he was a bit tired today....mmmm, I was thinking maybe Dorothy and I should try a run-we won 2 tickets for rafting at the chili cook off! But I'm reconsidering!
