After a lovely morning with Kim I met me Pa at noon and we got on the road.
“Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way!”
On the road to Lethbridge, Alberta. We were aiming to get to Princeton before stopping. When we got there it was only 1600 so we pushed on to Osoyoos before dark. After eating some decent food at the local pub we’re sitting in the motel chillaxin’.
The drive to here has been clear and sunny. The roads are clear and the car is holding up well, despite being loaded down with art. The coolest thing I’ve seen so far is a big bald eagle sitting on a branch down in a creek gully, with a crow on the snow barely 6 feet away. Neat! Earlier a huge hawk flew low over us on his way to find dinner in a farmer’s field.
Up early tomorrow. We’re planning to get to Grand Forks and eat there. Thanks, Kim, for the tip for good Doukhobor grub in that area. Looking forward to some good borscht!
My amazing daughter is 18. Holy crap! Where did the years go? Now Kaetlyn is a strong young woman on the verge of university and stepping in to an adventure of her own. Good luck, my girl! Love always.
Happy Birthday, Kaet!
In other ventures, I’m driving with my Dad to Lethbridge to help him set up a show there. A couple days driving over the mountains, set up a show, do a talk, pack up and drive home. We should be back in a couple weeks. I’m super stoked to visit some of his childhood haunts near Enderby on the return leg.
Well, I managed a whole month without FB and I enjoyed it so much, I’m sticking with it. That means no more Facebook for me!
I logged back on the other day and there really wasn’t anything I felt the need to spend time on there. It does mean I will have to communicate with people through actually phoning or emailing them. And that is a good habit to be in anyways. Too much convenience is an unhealthy habit. And it may prompt me to update my blog a little more often, you never know…
Of course, every time I write a blog post, it updates my FB status, so it may seem like I’m still wasting time there. Not true, it’s just a software sub-routine. For those who do follow me on FB.
That being said, drop me an email or give me a call, I’d love to chat!
The last few weeks have had some amazingly beautiful days. It’s prompted me to get out in the woods on my bike more often. Love that sunshine!

This is the time of year to slow down, and appreciate the company of friends and loved ones. Snow or Sun it’s a beautiful time.
Enjoy some good food, good friends and good times.
Peace and Love, all y’all!
