The car is packed, we’re almost ready to go. I can’t wait to see the wide open prairies, my family and …. civilization!! I hope the dog travels alright and the cat doesn’t get motion sick like she did last time. Talk to you all soon!!
Between the forest fire smoke and the “family orientated” community events planned (read: for people with children and if you’re childress then you just aren’t really part of said community) our Canada Day celebrations were very quiet. I went into town to get my asthma treatment, which actually made things worse because the smoke in town was 10 times worse than here. I still haven’t recovered lol! We had bbq steak, potatoes and corn on the cob. The we watched Canadian Idol tonight - how Canadian right? I’ve officially decided that everyone else needs to just go home. We already have a winner. Here he is, my husband Oliver Pigott.
This was just going to be a picture post but I’ve gotten lots of emails of concern so I thought I’d make a note. I ended up in hospital Friday night with a really horrid asthma attack as well as 2 times yesterday and once already today. It’s mostly allergy induced but still totally crappy. I’m to go in twice a day for a ventolin nebuliser for the next week and I’ve gotten another inhaler on top of my rescue one PLUS some prednisone pills too. I will be fine, just not up to talking much as it’s still abit difficult to breath. Thanks for all the love though!! On with the pictures!

I got my last paycheck today. Even though I got severance pay and my vacation time paid out - the deductions were more than my severance pay so I don’t know what the point it. It’s not like I got to have the money then really. Stupid taxes. Stupid goverment. *sigh*.
So I went and bought us a camera today! I didn’t want to take our trip out west without having a camera. After doing non-stop research all day and night I decided to buy us (ok I’m calling it Brian’s birthday present) a Canon Powershot A590 Is. Obviously I couldn’t take a picture of it so I had to find one online.
It got pretty good reviews and it’s going to do what we need it to do and well. Plus our camera was just getting old anyway so I’m happy with it. I bought some batteries (it just takes 2 AA’s) and a memory card so we’re all set.
So now I seem to recall promising some pictures of my flowers! Click the cut to see them in all their glory. Sorry the cranberry bushes are barely blooming anymore - maybe next year. And of course Abby had to horn in and get her picture taken. At least she smiles! Here’s a teaser and of course this is not dial-up friendly!
