Well I am half way through my trip back to Canada. Thought you might be interested in how I have found it. After 16 hours of travel, between airtime and layovers, I landed in Calgary in light snow. Fortunately Leila picked me up at the airport and the car was nice and warm. The weather has been warmish for this time of year and the wind has been blowing as normal. The only thing I am having a hard time to adjust to is the dry air. The humidity is much better for my breathing and skin.
Saturday was my mom's birthday party and it was great seeing all my siblings and their kids and grandkids. My aunt and her family also were there. The highlight of the evening for my mom was when my nephew Travis walked in. He has joined the army since we have been travelling and his arrival from Edmonon was a surprise.
This week I have been seeing the doctor, dentist and getting tests done. In between all that I have been trying to fit in visits with friends. Some have been short and sweet while I have been able to have meals with others.
I did stop in at our acreage and saw Katie dog. She is doing well and seemed happy to see me, although Leila said she gave me a dirty look when I got back into the car without her.
Saturday I head back to Calgary to spend some time with my kids and to see Griff's kids and grandkids. Then on Tuesday at midnight I head back to Griff.
The hardest part of the trip was being here without Griff and knowing he was probably pushing himself trying to get the coach work finished before I get back. We are very thankful for Google Talk which enabled us to talk each day as long as I could be somewhere I could access the internet.

It was so nice to have you here for dinner last night. You have a very busy schedule and we are grateful you could spend some of it with us.
We missed you, Griff, and hope you aren't working too hard. And remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder :)
