Over Three Months Later.....

The vacation I have been looking forward to for so long is now only two sleeps away!! Alice and I are flying from Edmonton at 10:00 a.m. Saturday to Montreal. We will be spending two weeks in Quebec, the first week near Quebec City and the second near Montreal. Alice's friend Linda Rae will be joining us the second week. Helge is taking me to Red Deer tomorrow for my Herceptin treatment at the Cancer Center. Afterwards he is taking me to Laurel's where I will spend the night. Laurel has asked Leroy and Marian and us for supper so I am looking forward to that, too!

Kingman Centennial: Last Friday evening Madison and I spent the night with her Mom in Red Deer. We left Red Deer early Saturday morning, picked up Alice at Laurel's place in Leduc, and headed for Kingman. We were there in time for the parade at 10:30 a.m. We found a shady spot on the south side of the street, along with Joy and Orville, and enjoyed watching the parade. Madison was kept busy collecting candies that were thrown to the children. After the parade I was talking to my old school friend, Vern Peterson. Madison became impatient so Alice said she would go on ahead with Madison and I could catch up. Vern asked me to join him for coffee in the Museum. Alice and Madison came back to the museum to find us. We ended up spending a couple of hours in the Museum. We enjoyed visiting with old friends of my parents, Quong Mah and his wife. I was happy to meet an old school friend, Seem Mah, for the first time in about 50 years. My cousin Fern Bjorgum and her husband Paul came along so we had a good visit with them. (Fern has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.) Jane Ross was visiting with Bill Hafner, whom I didn't recognize at first. She pulled up a chair for me and I joined in . Then I invited Alice over as Bill was an old friend of hers..............
