Countdown
The countdown till holidays is starting. I am actually surprised how fast this week really is going, I thought it would drag.
Haven't really been doing very much exciting other than getting last minute things done before we leave. Our neighbour is looking after our house for us and my dad is looking after the dog so should be all set.
Our plans are to leave her early Saturday morning and get to Calgary the first night and then to Abbotsford on Sunday. We will stay with Ryan & Tammy till Friday morning. They have a few things planned that they want to do while we are there, go to a beach across the border, into Vancouver to some fireworks display and a few touristy things as well. We will leave Friday morning and are planning to meet Sandra & Al for lunch and a visit! I am really happy that this worked out and we can get together even if it is just for a short time. We will then drive to Golden where we will stay the night. Saturday we are planning to make Moose Jaw and then home on Sunday. We will pick up our puppy and head to Brandon, probably do a couple of loads of laundry, do up anything that needs done here and then head to the trailer for the rest of our holiday. Gary said last night, that he wouldn't mind running into Winnipeg for a day. He realizes that he would probably not get in to see Darrell but he said even if we could see Rose and maybe take her out for lunch or something just to get her out of the hospital for a wee bit.
Speaking of Darrell, Rose phoned the shop yesterday to say that Darrell was undergoing more surgery yesterday afternoon. The person who answered the phone didn't ask any questions about it, so they don't know what type of surgery he is having. It could be he stabalized enough that they were fixing broken bones, or it could be going into to releive pressure on his brain, or suppose it could be something totally different.
On the knitting front, still not getting a whole lot done. I will most likely finish up a pair of socks today. Then I will pack my knitting bags for the trip. I have the yarn for 2 wonderful wallabye's and will take sock yarn for sure. Not sure what else I will put in there. This year, travelling in the car versus last year in the van I can't take as much as I did last year that is for sure.
