And what did we plan for our two-week vacation?
Well, not much, really, except for a wedding.
And what did we do on our two-week vacation?
We went on
An architectural tour of historic buildings in the 104 Street Warehouse District,
A self-guided walking tour of West Oliver and Glenora
A ghost tour of Old Strathcona,
A raft trip down the North Saskatchewan River,
A ramble through a corn maze,
And a visit to the burial grounds on the spot where they’ve decided not to build a new power station.
We attended
Three Fringe plays in the blistering heat
Two Fringe plays in the freezing cold,
A wedding rehearsal
A wedding,
A gift opening,
A funeral
Two Sunday services
And a party to celebrate the 147th birthday of John Walter.
We visited
Four farmers’ markets,
Four City Parks we had not walked in,
The Provincial archives in search of a story,
A casino in search of a win,
A doctor
Five show homes,
Our brand new minister,
Friends in the country
And relatives too numerous to mention.
We ordered a bathtub,
And also bought
Six towels
A low-flush toilet,
Three pairs of casual pants,
Four chrysanthemums,
Some excellent bread
Several cups of coffee
And a lot of fresh vegetables.
We played
Many games of dice.
We ate
Elephant ears,
Buffalo burgers,
Ed’s garden cucumbers
Lunch at Teddy's
Dinner at Rat Pack Louie's
And a free lunch courtesy of the Allen Pharmacy.
We planned to
Watch the Olympics on TV
But we didn't get around to that.
