Random Activity Post

I haven’t had much opportunity to go to the Sheep Ranch this week and I feel kind bad about that, however I’ve had a busy week and the nights I haven’t gone out I’ve taken the opportunity to catch up on my sleep a little.

This is going to be just a rambling post, I am going to post some random pictures that I’ve collected lately and that is pretty much it.

The first picture is compliments of Donna Ruthruff, Gloria’s cousin. She and her husband Jim live in the mountains overlooking Tucson Arizona. Donna has an amazing gift and I love her pictures and stories as she loves to “live” with zeal and the adventures she and Jim share are most enjoyable.  I am so grateful for the times when we have been able to share some adventures with them and look forward to more in the future.

I haven’t introduced you to Poppy yet, Poppy came to us from the SPCA in Calgary last fall. She’s very affectionate and inquisitive and very quickly made her way deep into our hearts. Unlike her predecessor Tigger, I am not allergic to her so enjoy the fact she’s very friendly and likes long cuddles. This is a picture of her sitting on the top of the kitchen cupboards watching Gloria as Gloria was packing for our move to the Sheep Ranch.

This picture is of the “Dragon” doing its part in helping us block off an escape route as we moved sheep from one area of the yard to another.

Once again this past weekend I was the recipient of an amazing super with Bob and Joyce. This was a burger accompanied by some awesome treats from the garden. I should have taken a picture of the strawberries and ice cream for dessert; however it was so good I ate it before I thought of the picture.

Every month at work they have a contest; if we do a “random act of kindness” or go above and beyond for someone then our name gets entered in a monthly draw for a prize. I had gotten acknowledged last month for a couple of instances and at the end of the month was very surprised to win! The following is the bike I won.

This week I had to make a quick trip to Jasper, Alberta. The following are some pictures taken on the trip. It was especially pleasant to be able to have lunch with my Auntie along the way. It was rainy and cool most of the day which also made it a little more pleasant than the extreme heat we have had of late.

The following picture was taken just outside Jasper, there is a large herd of elk that seem to live on the highway. We all had to stop and take a look, I took a picture of the people taking pictures!

This picture is of my Auntie in her new truck. 

The following is a collection of random pictures:

The forgoing was a "Stampede" breakfast I enjoyed last week.

The following was a picture of a truck I passed this week which had very little clearance.

The following picture was shared by Gloria's cousin on Facebook and I thought it was too funny so decided to share it again.

Well that's it for this time, I have a few things to wrap up here and I am off for the weekend. Where ever this weekend finds you I hope you have a good one.
