Some Photos

Hello Everyone,

Here are some photos from the past couple weeks:

Valentine's Weekend in Banff - Johnston Canyon hike

Valentine's meal in our hotel room (since we're cheap) - lol

And here's Mike on the couch this week:

Have a great day!

Photos from camping

Castle Falls provincial campground. We were here on the last weekend of August for the Huckleberry Festival at Castle Mountain.

It wasn't a big waterfall but it was very pretty

Didn't catch anything. Jerry is (attempting) fly fishing and I have a spinner rod. Finally getting the hang of casting.

New Polly Photos

And here is Polly with the new bar tape.

Whisker's Enclosure

Hello Everyone!


So, here is her new set-up










Lots of room. She has 16 square feet.

She was acting like a rabbit today. When I fed her, she hopped into her cage and started eating hay. She's never done that before. And when I opened her treat container, she hopped over to say "Hello!"











Yes, she's more than capable of hopping over but she only did it once (on the first night) and hasn't done it since. Mike has not attempted to jump in either. I think she enjoys having her own territory

Spock Days

Hello Everyone,

So, it was a fun but tiring weekend. We drove out Friday night and camped for the weekend in Vulcan, AB. They had their big Spock Days festival. Here are some pictures:

Here I am in costume. I made it myself since it was next to impossible to get a uniform here on time. It's a red t-shirt dress from American Apparel (super comfy), black undershirt from MEC, boots from Walmart (got last year) and I ordered the patch on eBay.

Jerry and his friends were dressed as tribbles (original Star Trek tv series) and Lara was a Vulcan. Here we are in the parade, and after in front of one of the floats.

Here is the statue in front of the information centre.

Here we are playing dress-up inside the visitor's centre. They also have cut-outs you can get your picture taken with. There is a simulator where you can manoeuver a Starship and lots of fan memorabilia.

They put on a great festival. Free pancake breakfast, long parade, festival activities on Saturday, slo-pitch tournament and a couple dances. The town was very welcoming and I was a bit surprised not to see more weirdo-fans all dressed up. It was relaxing and low key.

And finally, here is a nice photo of us.

Backyard photos

Hello Everyone










So, here are some photos of the backyard. My new outdoor furniture.















And some of the garden. I have salad and container carrots growing in the 3 tier planter.

And our raspberry bushes.

This is the set-up for the waterbarrel. And Polly.

Photos of apartment

Hello Everyone

So, here are some photos of the apartment. It's not complete since I didn't include the kitchen yet. When you walk in the front door, you go directly into the kitchen. The storage room is on the same side as the main door. You then enter the living room.

This is the view from the kitchen. You can see my kitchen table in the bottom right corner. Gilbert is in the corner and you can see Mike in the window sill.

This shows the rest of my livingroom. My computer/office area is in the corner, behind the futon.

And here is the other wall of the livingroom. This wall has the kitchen cupboards on the other side. The door leads to my bedroom.

And here is my bedroom. I have no closet.

You reach the bathroom by going through my bedroom. Not too pleased with that set up but there was no other logical way to get to it. The closed door lead to the bathroom.

I have no bathtub - just a shower. But Jerry has a tub and he was nice enough to draw a bath for me Sunday night when I needed to relax my muscles. I soaked while he made dinner. I'm spoiled terribly.

So, it's smaller than my previous 2 apartments but the storage room is great, the floors are easy to clean and it's a great location. It works well for 1 person. This weekend, I'll try to take pictures of the kitchen and the backyard.
