Holy Smokes!

Forest fire smoke from the States hazing our fair land.
The whole city smells like a giant camp site!

On The Way To Grandma's

Our Grandmother's home town. A typical cookie cutter prairie town! Very spooky. I have been to a number of small prairie towns in the years and it is amazing how they all have the same street layout and types of businesses on Main Street.

North of Crystal City, Manitoba.

Visiting Winnipeg

The Forks Market



Really enjoyed Winnipeg! The people were truly amazing! The city is so cultured. Lots to do around here. The road system was quite astounding. A few major Canadian cities should borrow some Winnipeg planners to get it right.

Delta Beach

Looking North

Looking West

Ahhh I'm in heaven...Delta Beach on Lake Manitoba

You could walk a mile out and the water may come up to your hips. All I needed was a giant air pump for a mean jacuzzi.

I needed 1000 SPF !!!

Sand was so hot I could barely walk on it!!!

At Home


Near our home in Calgary. "Hot time summer in the city...."

Home Sweet Home



This is my home, Calgary.
This is a fabulous city to live in. We just crossed the 1,000,000 mark for population. Believe it or not, only the 3rd city in Canada to do so.
