Sunday, February 27, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada As the city limits expand, there are more opportunities for humans to move into the territory of the native wildlife. A couple of years ago I was driving around to the southwest of town and saw a cougar up close and personal. It was chasing a coyote. […]
Saturday, February 26, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada At the beginning of February, we look for the groundhog to foretell the winter and spring dividing line. If that doesn’t work, we watch the first of March. “In like a lion, out like a lamb.” I actually think that’s it, that’s the whole saying. But, in […]
Thursday, February 24, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Cold. Have I mentioned that before? But for cold weather, you can put on more clothes and stay inside. When it’s too hot, you can’t get away as easily. The shopping centers and office buildings have air conditioning, and some people have it in their homes, but […]
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Here are more of the pics I took yesterday while driving around, mainly from the south to downtown and back. Today’s highlight was breakfast at Pfanntastic Pannekoek Haus, a Dutch pancake house on Crowchild Trail just south of 50th Avenue SW. You can get to it from […]
Tuesday, February 22, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada I took these pictures on an average day at the very tail end of rush hour. It was still busy (around 8:30 a.m.) but in Calgary the downtown workday starts at 8 o’clock. We were more into the school run and people like me doing their errands. […]
Monday, February 21, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada No kids at school today. Family Day, an Alberta holiday originally, because we needed something to relieve us in February. I see that Ontario has got it now too. But Peggy the mail lady still had to do her rounds, because federal workers do not have Family […]
Sunday, February 20, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Lounging at home, trying to get some work done, managing to actually do that. The Heritage Classic outdoor hockey game was on at McMahon Stadium today, but I didn’t pay attention, I’m afraid. Glad to hear Calgary Flames won it! It wasn’t as cold as yesterday, so […]
Saturday, January 19, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Legally Blonde! What could be better than seeing this fun musical with my law school buddies, and though two were missing, the other five of us ladies had a lovely time. I of course embarrassed myself by being the loudest laugher in the room but hmmm I […]
Friday, February 18, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Not as exhausted this week, because we took things more slowly. I don’t mean ridiculously so, just a more pleasant pace. I’ll put in some pics I’ve taken since the beginning of the year.
