On February 10th we (kids and I) were on our way to Calgary to spend some time with Auntie Marion and Uncle Harvey while they were there. It was timely that we were able to stop in Red Deer to see Grandma soon after getting word that Uncle Keith passed away. It was special to be there with Grandma and Wendy, although I'm sure it was Grandma who was the comforter. So, on family day weekend we said goodbye to a very special member of the family. I feel blessed to part of this natural family, but in reality I'm more blessed to be a part of a great spiritual family. I was just reminded again of what Uncle Keith shared ... "if you pray, why worry, and if you worry, why pray". Uncle Keith was a kind-hearted teacher and I hope to keep working on the lessons.
We really enjoyed our time in Calgary with Myles and Rohini, Tyson and Lori, Auntie and Uncle and also got to know Herb and Brenda. We were royally treated wherever we went, so it won't be hard to re-invite ourselves again:) The kids thought Herb and Brenda's place was a little heaven on earth with the great skating rink right out the door ... Zamboni and all (except it was scary if you thought it was chasing you)! I was hoping to see Jessica and her baby, but that didn't happen this trip. But, I did get to see Cross Iron Mills mall for the first time! Oh, about the out of focus pictures ... I left the camera out in the van and it just wouldn't defog quickly enough and we were already running late. Better than nothing was my thought at the time. Don't you agree?!
