Busy day

An absolutely beautiful day today the predicted high is 79F 26c with some cloud and little wind, it is positively the warmest day since arriving home.
We had a group leaving this morning and another group arriving for the weekend. The park is very busy and that is good. The truck has a flat tire so Woody changed the tire and made a trip into Stony Plain to get it fixed, not a real good start to the day but better here than on the road. While in town Woody picked up some supplies for the park. I walked the dogs, did a little cleaning and spent time chatting with guests as they came to pay for their camping. Group we had during the week was awesome (a Good Sam group), they said they would be back next year as they love the park and thanked us for looking after them so well.
Well it did not reach the predicted high but at least it was nice 73F, sure cooled off this evening though 53F around 8:00 pm with humidty feels chilly, not just to us but some friends dropped over this evening and they complained how chilly it was! Hopeful the weather will warm up!

Getting back

Yikes it is nasty, rain mixed with snow and wind cold for us poor warm weather creatures, temps -2C and it is now 3:00 pm, will have at least 4 degrees of frost tonight! Woody had a Dentist appointment today and did some shopping and catching with friends in the area, while I have spent most of the day getting all the information/schedules for the park in order and doing some work on the blog. Many bookings already throughout the summer, many weekends are completely booked. The grass is greening up and the trees are starting to bud, all this week is not predicted to be very nice with some sun, clouds and showers, rain or snow depending on the temperatures! Tonight Woody attended the Onoway Fish and Game Association meeting and I continued working on the blog, man I am so far behind and blogging takes a lot of time, especially when I post pictures.

A Wonderful day

Sunday the family visited along with a couple of friends, the weather was great, we spent the afternoon catching up on news, sharing some stories and information from Arizona and being Mother’s Day I received very nice cards and gifts from the girls. Caitlin, our granddaughter shared the news that she was saving her money to buy a dog. She has wanted a dog for a long time and teased us while we were in AZ that she had some exciting news to share with us but would not tell us until we arrived home. I was very impressed that she stuck to her word and waited so long to tell us. Michelle and Chris had decided that the time would be right for Caitlin to have a dog. We had talked about offering Oreo to Caitlin when we got home as Oreo needs to run and play everyday and she just was not getting enough exercise with walking on a leash 4 or 5 times a day. Many RV parks have a fenced area for dogs to play off leash but they are not large enough for Oreo to run the way she loves to run. Woody talked privately to Chris and Michelle then made the offer to Caitlin. Caitlin was so excited; her eyes got big and gave us the biggest grin she could. She and Oreo have always had a special relationship and if anyone would care and love Oreo, she would be the one. Oreo also has always loved Chris so now they had a decision to make and told us they would talk it over as a family and if the answer were yes, they would not be able to take her until the first week of July. That was agreeable to us so now we will wait for the final decision. The day passed very quickly and we so enjoyed seeing our family and friends. I just cannot believe we did not take any pictures, guess we were caught up in the excitement and too busy just enjoying the moment!

Arrived home

Left Calgary today, arrived at Imrie Park around 2:00 pm, the weather was nice when we arrived and were greeted shortly after arriving by friends (Dave and Tina) who were staying at the park for the weekend and some members from Onoway Fish and Game. We parked and were finished setting up when a rain shower decided to visit us! Dave and Tina played, watered and walked the dogs while we were setting up! Thank you guys. Between rain showers, we attempted to set up our internet dish but had company coming and going all afternoon. All well there is always another day.
