Trudy and Andy left Calgary at 6:00 on a Saturday morning in search of Edmonton. It was an emergency. Our lilies were at their peak and they simply had to be viewed in person—I being technologically incapable of emailing a photo.
Though we had no particular plans, we could tell right away that this would be an exceptional day, because they had stopped on the road for ice cream some time around 8:30. Now that’s a special day! Even at the all-inclusive in Mexico we never had ice cream before lunch!
We spent the morning testing the ripeness of peas and comparing red cherries to yellow at the outdoor market. We spent the afternoon in a fierce dice-throwing competition on the veranda. Andy showed us how his new camera could zoom in on a person at the top of the hill (so much for the theory that we don’t need to close our bedroom curtains). At the end of it all there could be absolutely no doubt about two things: cousins ought to get together more often; and also, Andy and Trudy know exactly what to do in an emergency.
