Day trip!

A quick day trip to Canmore and Banff was just what the doctor ordered. It's always great to get out of town with a friend for the day. Deidre and I spent time in the boutiques and stores, ate lunch in a great little restaurant, stopped at a couple look out points and had dessert in this cute coffee shop in Banff. A beautiful day with beautiful scenery, and a great way to end the long weekend:)

Cold!

Some crazy weather here as of late. We've had more snow in the last couple of weeks than we have had our entire winter. Woke up this morning to find that the temperature is -34C (-29F) with windchill. BURR!! I do love the cold though (weird, I know) and what it looks like. When it is so cold you can see it hanging in the air. Here are a few shots from this morning...

A waltz for the chance I should take. But how will I know where to start?

Concert!

Barenaked Ladies rocked the Dome tonight! Had a fabulous time again seeing them perform with all their energy and fun. True performers that obviously love what they do! So much fun!

:)

Save me...

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
