After a lazy start and an egg for breakfast, we did some laundry, and admired some paintings that Muriel did before getting Parkinson's - they are very good. It must be so disheartening and frustrating to be forced to give up something you enjoy and have a talent for. Her Parkinson's isn't too bad really and she can still do things like pour tea out but out must be difficult to deal with, and it must be worrying knowing it can't be cured.

Eating their home-grown tomatoes
(why aren't mine ripe then!?) |
Muriel and Gordon recorded a message for Andy and Nancy and Gordon learnt how to do recordings on his camera too. We had lunch out on the deck in the sun, which has perked up and got its act together since yesterday (it was only about 10C when we got in last night). Gordon used his new skills to record me and mum giving him and Muriel a message too in only 2 takes.
We looked up hotels in the BC accommodation book from Pat and online and called and booked one in Golden and one in Radium. There were all sorts of exciting things to choose from eg big breakfasts, eco-things, outdoor hot tubs, bearskins on the wall, bears in the garden etc etc.

We headed back to Rocky mid afternoon and had to be guided out of Edmonton by our resident navigators. We gathered a good number of juicy bugs on the windscreen and now you can hardly see out again. The screen wash doesn't do anything, they are stuck like glue the moment they splat onto it.

Mollie and Danny had already eaten when we got back but she wasn't cross with us. She went to bed quite early as ever and mum and I read our books and played with the cats.
I've had crazy vivid dreams for the last few nights...hoping that might stop sometime soon.
