Up, Up, and Away!

I didn't have a chance to post before I left, 
but I'm up, up, and away
to Calgary, Alberta, Canada
to spend some time with my family.

One of my sisters is recovering
from an operation last week,
and I am helping her out.


Shadow of My Plane
Landing in Las Vegas
En Route to Calgary

Below is one of my favorite Canadian pictures.
My brother emailed it to me
several years ago ~
so I have no idea of it's source.




It's not quite sunbathing weather in Calgary,
but it has been very nice.

I'm looking forward to catching up
on everyone's blogs when I get home.

    Hey, welcome home to Canada! Enjoy Cow Town! Actually, no, that's outdated. Calgary is a big metropolis now. These days it has an updated moniker, so . . . . enjoy the City of Cows!

    Enjoy being back on the Canadian side of things at the Calgary shack. Can't say I've ever been there, do some quick gambling while at Vegas's lair? If you win big share..lol...enjoy all the eh's out there.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your sister.
    It's striking how much Calgary and Denver look alike.

    Thank you all for your well wishes for my sister! That was so kind of each of you. I shared them with Barb, and she was surprised and delighted! It's great to be back in Canada, even if I had to use my passport to go home! Have a good day, and take care!

    Great post, nice views on Calgary!
    Do not worry, your sister's health is more important than blogging...
    I hope she feels better soon.
    I have been quite busy in hides and elsewhere myself so I haven't been blogging much either!
    Cheers Fundy, keep well!
