It's always sad to see your family go home to Winnipeg, sometimes one week just isn't long enough. But it was a good week, I took them to alot of places. Today we went out to Elbow Falls, what a beautiful day it was, sunny and warm. Nice treat there were alot of people out there today and it was hard to get some photos in some of my favorite spots, but I made do with what I got. They didn't want to go home either but their plane left at 9 tonight and they are not having such good weather as us! I remember 11 years ago this month when my husband and sons and I came to Calgary to look for a home. We were transferred in from Winnipeg and only here for one week but what a week it was. We were wearing T-shirts, the sun was always shinning here. On the drive back to Winnipeg we hit a storm just after we crossed the Manitoba boarder and it shut down the Trans Canada Hwy. We were stranded in Brandon Manitoba and were lucky enough to get the last hotel room in that hotel. There were long line ups and I felt sorry for the people who could not get a room. Brandon had to set up a shelter for all the stranded people. When we got home you couldn't even see our front door as it was piled high with snow. That had to be the worst freak storm for Manitoba, that year it flooded homes, but we missed it as they moved us here in June 97. Manitoba has always gotten alot of snow and really cold winters, but you sure cannot beat their summers!!!
