Back from my wonderful trip to Calgary...I so appreciated my time there in many ways and will always carry special memories with me...It did me good to get away on my own and have some time to think and I particularly enjoyed having the chance to visit with my dad, Jan and Chelsea. I really appreciated them giving me the "tour" of some of the beautiful attractions that Calgary and its surrounding area has to offer. Lake Louise and Banff were lovely and there is something about the mountain air that must be good for the soul. I enjoyed taking it all in...
( On a more superficial level, I also enjoyed discovering some of the interesting jewellery store that Banff had to offer. Jan and I spent quite a bit of time marvelling at the various stone pendants for sale as my dad patiently waited for us girls!!). It was difficult to decide between two particular pendants I wanted to buy so I was very happy when the second pendant turned up on my breakfast plate the next morning as an early birthday present from my dad and Jan!
Anyway, as much as I enjoyed my trip it was also nice to get home to my "boys". The boys had had a good weekend in Quebec city but Mathieu said he was counting the sleeps until I came home. He told me, "Maman, the house smells better when you're home" . So, I made sure I made a batch of muffins when I got home to make sure the house smelled like he wanted it!!!
