on the road

By this time tomorrow (5:00 p.m.) I will be in Fairmont, BC and H and I will finally be on holidays. It's been 2 years since we last took an extended break and we are soooooo ready for it. H left on Thursday for his annual Golf Safari in Fairmont, BC. He drove the Great White (RV) out there which meant that we had to have it more or less packed on Wednesday. That also means I've been here in Calgary with the bare minimum of clothes and leisure activities while I wait to join him. I finished all of my actual "work" work on Friday morning ... earlier than I thought I would. So I have been stretching out the last few chores to fill the last two days! How pathetic: I vaccuumed the floors; then sat and knitted for a while. I cleaned the fish tank; then sat and read for a while. I cleaned the bathroom; then knitted again. I walked the dogs; then watched some tv. You get the picture! The biggest hurdle came this morning. I opened the fridge to get some breakfast and realized I had one bagel and some peanut butter in the house! No bread. No milk. No lunch meat or cheese, etc. So I had a breakfast of tea and a bagel with peanut butter, but had to go out for lunch and will pop out again for some supper in a while. Tomorrow morning I'll close up the house, toss the last few things and the dogs into the car and hit the road. We'll be back in Calgary around October 12th. We put U.S. roaming packages on our cell phones so we can be reached if need be. Or you can use my 'gmail' address for emails. Pray for safe travelling for us. ~K
