• Staycation in Downtown Calgary

    26/11/2014 - By 

    It is Wednesday already! Where did Monday and Tuesday go? I have been frantically working and crocheting presents. I have to get them all ready to mail before the 11th so the pressure is on. Every time I think I have a free second it gets filled up by work, laundry, Xmas parties, chores, sick days. This weekend was a much needed break from everything. I had a second to breathe in a huge drink of fresh air and be irresponsible and let go. I got a Xmas bonus from the couple I babysit for. A staycation! They took our…

    We went to our friend’s wedding. They hosted it at the zoo which meant we got a free zoo pass during the day. We had fun for two hours at the zoo and then went to the reception.

  • Sun & Salsa Festival 2013

    23/07/2013 - By 

      So this weekend was packed but wonderful. Basically, if I am allowed to sleep in for more than an hour I am happy. On Friday night I think we just did movie night at home, enjoying “Home for The Holidays”. (Our Friday night movie theme this time is Robert Downey Jr’s movies. Before that was all of the Bond films, and before that was all of Martin Scorsese films. We like themes.) Saturday morning I got to wake up at 930 am. We decided to go to a wading pool. We chose Riley Park because there are trees for…
