The View From Here

We're Home

We've left the deep freeze of Calgary behind only to arrive to mountains of snow in our driveway and on the cars with a snow storm heading our way tomorrow.

Initially we were meant to leave yesterday but bad weather in Vancouver delayed our flight. Making a decision that we really didn't want to arrive in Toronto after midnight only to come home to a cold house with no food, WestJet was kind enough to change our flight to this morning without any charges. Aren't they kind...actually I love WestJet. It's a cut rate airline that doesn't feed you but you can buy food on board or bring your own. Drinks are provided any time you want them and they actually do two trolley runs on a 4 hour flight. Maybe Olympic Airlines could learn a thing or two from them.

The flight crew are friendly and helpful and a wheelchair was waiting for me at both ends without even having to ask. Now that's service.

I now have four suitcases of stuff to unpack and put away, groceries to buy, and Steve has to shovel out the cars.

And we miss this little girl terribly...and yes, she's wearing the right shirt.

Okay, okay...we miss her parents too. And now I'm going to sleep for a couple of days.

I think that she's made the connection that you have left, but she still talks about Oma and Papoo before bed, and throughout the day.

Yeh, I think she misses you guys too.

For anyone who's interested in cute kids named Elliotte, Ti has a 365 Flickr set dedicated to her.

Oh Laurie, I wish I could send you some snow. It's snowing again and we haven't even cleaned the driveway yet from last time. Your husband is right, the jerseys are neat.
Rudee, I miss her, I wish they lived closer.
Teddy, we're going to have to do more webcam visits.

Remember Borje Salming? I think he was the best ever fighter on the ice. Never gave up, played until his last drop of blood and also perhaps a little beyond his years. ;-)
