Back on Track

I wanted to come home and post my many photos of my recent trip. But sometimes life throws you curve balls. The past 4 days since my arrival home have been very hetic and stressful. I am sad about my Grandpa Ort and now I am minus my appendixs. Yes, that is right, I had my first every surgery. I underwent surgery on Sunday night at 9 pm for acute appendicitis. Let me tell you, I was in sooooo much pain. Thank goodness it is now over. I am ready to be healthy. So back to posting photos, look for some at the end of the week. As I am following doctors orders and resting. (Reading everyone else's blogs.)

In Memory of Grandpa Ort

Today is a sad day. Unfortunately we have lost a wonderful family member in my life, Grandpa Ort Geiger. (Ken's Dad.) He passed away November 13/10. He was 80 ish and had been slowly slipping away with old age. I am so glad Dawson & I got to see him in July. I talked to him just before we left for holidays and he was so glad to hear from me! He was always so happy to get a call from us. We used to talk about the weather and he loved to talk with Dawson about how his hockey was going. We even have the hockey puck he sent Dawson in a special place! Grandpa, I will miss you, but never forget you.

Goodbye Snow

Hello Disney! Yes, our "magical day" has finally arrived. We leave tonite for our long awaited trip to Florida. Jam packed with many special events, I will try and blog some photos during the trip however we have no computer access during the first week. So when I find a computer I will jump on and try to post. Happy Halloween everyone.

At Least Someone LOVES this weather.

Yes, our first snowfall! Dawson was quick to eat his breakfast and get ready to play outside. And yes, he is wearing his Dad's gloves. ( We have to buy him new gloves.) I hope he is happy, as it is supposed to be warm the rest of the week, more my type of weather . And of course Wednesday is the big special day. Our magical vacation begins! Oh we are so excited!

The Changing Seasons

I have decided to post these photo for my auntie who is in Greece. She of course on her blog-- posts beautiful photos of towns she has visited and writes of swimming in the sea daily. I thought I should post what it looks like back here, in our little neck of the woods. So here you go Auntie! While you sun bathe on the beach and dodge stingray or jellyfish ( I forget which one?) think of us back home taking care of the changing seasons. I must admit it is pretty here right now, cold some mornings, but pretty!!

Who knew riding the bus would be this much fun.

This photo is not McDonald's talking. It is taken from the second level of our county's new double decker bus! Dawson and I had the pleasure of taking a free ride as the county's transit system had a :Tour the new bus and hot dog BBQ. It was fun. This bus is a pilot project for our county and will run the commuter routes into Edmonton.

PHEW!

Ain't she a beauty! The only other city that has buses like this incorporated into their transit system is Victoria, said the man sitting next me, who I didn't know. So I could be wrong on that fact? As you ride this bus, everyone stares it! Talk about being the center of attention.
