Our visit to LA (Lethbridge, Alberta)
Lindsay wrote such a wonderful blog about our past weekend that I needed to write a few words myself. Last weekend our visit to see Cathy and Albert in Lethbridge, Alberta was wonderful!
It started out with Cathy and Albert cooking up a delicious supper for us of Alberta beef fillet with fresh salad, fried dilled potatoes, roasted Creston asparagus and garlic toast - it was yunmmy!! Not to mention good conversation as well.
On Saturday, Lindsay and Jeff, Ray and Jane, Cathy and Albert and Bob and myself went golfing at a little par three course (for me it was more like a par eight course). Bob and Jeff gave me a few tips to improve my game - thank you, hopefully I will remember them as well as incorporate them. After golf we went to a much more elite golf club for lunch that Bob treated everyone to - thanks Bob! Then off to Christy’s (Cathy’s daughter) and her partner, Scott’s, to see their new show home (it is so beautiful! and big too!). Christy is pregnant and due in mid-late October - she is glowing with health right now! Back to Cathy and Albert’s for some more visit with Lindsay and Jeff. It was just terrific to see them - a fine day indeed! After Lindsay and Jeff left it was a race to the end.
You guessed it - how many Margaritas can we each consume. We talked Albert into making four batches and let me assure you, they were marvelous! Try balancing your Margarita while playing Bosse Ball. Well you can’t so you ask someone to hold your Margarita for you while you toss your ball. The men won both games.
Cathy, Albert, Ray and myself joined up and made supper. Mexician fare. It was great team work as well delicious food. The smokers, Bob and Jane, were suppose to clean-up but quickly snuck out the door for their smoke leaving the mess for us cooks. When I looked up at the clock when we all finished dinner it was 11 p.m. - a little late for dinner don’t you think?
On Sunday Cathy treated us to brunch - thanks Cathy! Then Cathy drove me around for a tour of Lethbridge - it is nice city. Off to Costco’s. Bob gave me $300 for Alberta beef as well as other good buys. I spent $294.32 on good stuff.
Bailey joined us on this trip and she was a good as gold. Bailey is such a polite and sweet doggie - I love her to bits!
