Simply Sunday: Calgary Stampede
It's been a long time since I've been able to find time to post a Simply Sunday article, but I really wanted to get this one out... Life and work have been ridiculously busy for me over the last couple of months and it looked like I wasn't going to be able to get down to the Calgary Stampede grounds this year.

Yellowstone Vacation — Calgary to Yellowstone
I've wanted to visit Yellowstone National Park for years (as long as I can remember really) and Louise and I have often talked about going there. Every time it came up we ended up deciding that it was a little bit too far away and too ambitious a trip.

The commentary will be light, so the images will have to speak for themselves!
I will be starting with about 8 … Continue Reading ››
Late Summer Vacation
We were fortunate to be able to take a summer vacation in late August this year and we took the opportunity to take a drive through Western Canada to see my sister Heidi and her family in 100 Mile House, BC. Yes, it's actually called that, and it was named because it was located 100 Miles from Lillooet, BC, which was Mile 0 of the Cariboo Wagon Road. That's even funnier since Lillooet is at least 100 Miles from Nowhere!!!
It was a pretty relaxing trip and Melanie and Andrew got to hang out with their cousin Hannah and her brand new baby … Continue Reading ››
