Butter your bacon, boy

Tree 63 was in Lethbridge on Saturday so Lisa & I headed to the concert. It was a great concert, pictures didn't come out so well but here's one to show a bit of what it looked like. Amazing sound for only three guys. While at the concert we both decided we were hungry and we'd grab some fast food on the way home. Well, the concert ended a little after nine so we decided to just go out to a restaurant for some appetizers ...


... and we found some. Sirloin bites wrapped in bacon served with garlic butter. Yup, you read it right - butter your bacon, boy! They were good! We also had some wings with them too, just to be really healthy. Earlier we had be contemplating getting the platter but then decided that that was really too much food. The place we were at had many rooms off to the side and for some reason had windows that opened out into the main area. Well, long story short some guys on the other side were trying to figure out how to open the window and banged Lisa on the head. They were very apologetic and Lisa was fine but they really, really, really were sorry. So, when their platter came out, we sampled it.


And a couple non-sequiturs. A sign of the times - there is only one phone booth, the outside two no longer have phones in them, they are cell phone booths.


And finally - another sign of the times. Websites - that's old. Make sure people find you on Facebook! Notice how the website is just small little letters and Facebook takes up 3/4 of the sign. Anyways, that was our Saturday night.

Kananaskis

This past week was the PGA meetings (that is, Potato Growers of Alberta) in Kananaskis, AB (MAP) It is a beautiful area right in the Rocky Mountains. Here are some pictures from the event and a video of sunrise on the mountains from my hotel room.

Sunrise to Sunset

My work camera has a time-lapse feature so I set it up in the window one night to capture the backyard. If you watch the snow on the roof & the grass you'll see it melting. Also of interest is seeing the lights in one of the back houses come on and seeing the garage lights coming on and off quickly (when I left in the morning and came home from work).

Snow!

It's been a while since a blog posting ... not that there hasn't been anything going on, its just that it usually didn't involve pictures. Here are some pictures from last Sunday on my walk to church (Lisa was driving handi-bus that day). The picture of the church is not ours - its the Anglican one one block south. It was much more picturesque that day.

The snow is almost gone now but it was great to see it this early in the season.
