Almost there

We left Golden at 7am this morning and holy cow the roads were horrible!!! There had been a 3 semi accident overnight and the semi trucks still sat on the side of the road. They were alternating one lane of traffic at a time. We sat for about 45 min stopped completely about 50 kms in. BUT we are now in Merritt. There was no snow in Salmon Arm and there is no snow and the sun is shining in Merritt. There is a road advisory from Merritt to Vancouver and they are not recommending driving. However, Iwe are continuing!!!! I miss my cats ad Yuki!!!!

Stuck in Golden

Sure enough, we are stuck in Golden. We paid $80 for a hotel. It's not a great hotel, but the great ones were $150+. So here we sit. The town is getting busier as we watch out the window. They say the roads will open at 5pm... We will get up early tomorrow morning and drive til dark!!! I just want to go home!!!

On our way home

It's 8am and we are almost in Golden. The roads are treacherous!!!! Tons of snow fell over night and apparently the highway is closed between Golden and Revelstoke due to avalanche warning. Hopefully it's not closed all day!! We were hoping to get to Kamloops tonight. However better safe than sorry!!!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve in my most favorite place... BANFF!!!! We walked around, did some window shopping, and of course went for a pint at The Rose and Crown. We made it back to Canmore in time to hit the grocery and liquor store, and home we went for the night!! Hope Santa comes!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!! What a day it has been!! We got up at around 8:30am and of course had a cup or two of coffee and baileys. Brooks cooked up some delicious omlettes for each of us. At around noon we all decided "let's go for a hike". So we got all dressed in our warm gear and off we went. The snow was coming down hard but it is so warm. It was like being in a snow globe!!! It was icy out there so we had bets on who would be the first one on the ground. Unfortunately it was ME!!! I slipped and down I went on my tailbone. OUCH!!! I layed there awhile as the laughter erupted.....I got up and walked it off! Next one down was mom. She was a little more graceful in her fall than I was!!!! We made it home around 3 o'clock. We made some lunch and had a Christmas beverage. We are now preparing dinner. Stuffed salmon with potatoes and veggies of some sort. All in all a very good Christmas Day!!!!!

The trip goes on...

We took of for a day and night in Calgary yesterday. One of my best friends lives there with her fiancé and I had to have a visit!!! We met at around 4, went back to their house for dinner and a few drinks and off to bed we all went!!!!! This morning it was a quick cup of coffee and an "until next time" hug and we were off back to Canmore. We met my folks at a pub "The Drake" for a few drink and are now off to the house to make a lovely seafood chowder for dinner!!!! Tomorrow the four of us are spending the day in Banff. Quite a fabulous way to spend Christmas Eve I think!!!!! I love it here!!!

I love it here!!!!

We made it into Canmore at around 6 pm lastnight. It was a long day but a good day indeed! The highway was quite scary in bits but clear in other areas. We had the truck in 4 wheel for roughly 300 kms through Rogers Pass and then coming in through Banff. I couldn't believe the speed at which some people drive on those roads!!! Anyways we made it here!!! Mom had some Veggie chilli ready for us and of course 2 icy cold Strongbows!!!! I am so happy to be in my favorite place!!! I LOVE IT HERE!!!!

On our way

We left Victoria at 11 pm yesterday heading to the mountains!!!! We met my friend Jasmine in Langley for dinner, then made it to bed around 10 o'clock. It's 5:53am right now and we are on the road. Tim Hortons in hand!!!!

A new bed

I decided to buy Yukon a new dog bed for Christmas. His old beds are old and flattened right out!! I ran into Costo and scooped one up!!! It is fluffy and smells of fresh cedar chips!! He loves it.... However so does a certain someone else (only when Yukon is outside of course!!!)

Snowfall warning

It is chilly here on the island!! There is a snowfall warning for our area and all over the mainland!!! Get the snowplow ready!!! We are hoping the snow stays away til mid afternoon today as we are working in Victoria. We will (or should) finish this job today. It's chain link so I am preparing for frozen fingers!!! However a cheque at the end of the day seems worth it. I will keep you posted on the weather!!!

Another week

So I think another week has past since I blogged. Things have been moving right along. We finished a pa el job in Victoria and started another one. We will finish that one tomorrow. The weekend was spent around home and with good friends!!! We hosted a sushi dinner lastnight and I must say.... I am still feeling full!!! It was delicious! Tonight is a movie and sit by the fire night with a cup of tea in hand. Until next time...

A great weekend

It was yet another fun filled weekend. Yesterday brooks put the finishing touches on the snow plow while I had a ME day, meeting my mom for lunch on Victoria. Today I had a hair client, and then spent the afternoon with Yukon. He likes to go to the dog park on Sundays to see all of his friends!!!
Tomorrow we start one of our two new jobs which will take us through the week. There is no snow in our forecast so we must keep on fencing!!!! I am off to bed now as 6:30 comes quickly!!! Night night
