WE INTERUPT YOUR KNITTING TO BRING YOU THIS...
A welcome break to a busy time of year!
Doug and I headed out to Banff for the weekend. We stayed at Baker Creek Chalets where there are no TV's, no phones, no computers. There are however, paths along the Bow River, Cross country Ski trails and snow shoes! We followed the moose tracks through the clearing under the power lines for about three kilometers which doesn't sound like it was very far. With snowshoes, it was about a two hour hike.
There were a few tumbles in the snow when I stepped on my own snow shoe but it was easier than I thought it would be, It also helped that Doug broke trail for most of the hike!
Next time, we might have to try the Cross Country Skies.
We also found a puzzle in our cabin. We ignored the 1000 piece puzzle for the small 500 piece one. Once we started, we had to finish it. There were 13 missing pieces and the last piece didn't get put in place untill 11:00 - checkout time! It will be a long time before we work on another puzzle.
After we arrived at home, we had company. LD sure does like his carrots.
We will now resume our previously scheduled stressful December. Baking today and Cabbage rolls on Wednesday with Christmas sock knitting thrown in just in case I get bored!
