Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

The frustration being the inability to post from my IPad. Hey Apple, what's up with that? On to the festivities. We celebrated Ms. M's Master's in Medical Physics:

Had Father's Day brunch at Calgary's Danish Canadian Club:

Packed in lots of family time with the favourite grandchild. I do believe there's special privilege in being the only one on both sides.

All in all a good trip at a lovely time of year, which included dramatic prairie skies, a successful evening fishing trip and, as we worked our way north, the ability to sniff the lilacs in sequential full bloom in three cities.

Knitting and painting to follow.

Update: Listening to the news this morning we realize how dramatic those skies became, causing massive flooding and evacuations in the area. We flew through Calgary last night, having no idea how bad it was. Apparently it's going to get worse. On a positive note this morning, the mayor reports there as not been a single injury, but tough times ahead for his vital city. We are fortunate that M lives in the northwest part of the city near the university and is unaffected.

    Congratulations to your daughter!!! That is quite an accomplishment and I’m sure you’re more than proud of her!! Glad you had a nice trip and you’re right – where you went it is the perfect time. I was looking at Calgary today and it is quite a disaster – glad your family are safe. Thanks for the post – been checking for a new one for a few days. Miss you guys!! Dinner with Chrissy last week at our favorite Marios in your hometown – chianti and Chicken Alfredo preceeded by a family size antipasto salad. Yumm!

    Congratulations to your daughter. That is quite an accomplishment. And you have a cutie patootie grandson, too! The weather here has been very changeable this spring/summer, but thankfully nothing like other parts of the country have experienced. Lovely sky, too bad it took a bad turn.

    Congrats, Ms. M. Sounds like everyone had a great time. Had been wondering where M lives in relation to the flooding. Love and hugs…..
