This past weekend we had some family visit, from the Okanagan. Where it has been almost 30 degrees most days. Where snow hasn't been seen since...the 1990's...

Aside from the snowfall for their first day of the trip, it turned out to be not too shabby, after all. I think the thermometer may have gone up to 20-ish for Saturday, when we hit the Calgary Zoo. You can never get enough zoo...

Actually, it was a better visit than the first time we had gone by ourselves, last year. I think the animals were holding job action last year - they were extinct from viewings...

This time, we saw virtually every advertised animal, and loads of their respective bambinos. Some just hours old - gross -clean the dang critters up, for Pete's sake!!

We walked for about 4 hours, all in all, then came home and collapsed. This is our first time out of bed since Saturday afternoon. If it weren't for the Doritos in our night table drawer, we may have perished...

Happily, we survived, and at least one of my legs seems to have circulation again. I'll be back playing competitive Ping-Pong in no time!!

Chow for now!!
