FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON

We waited out the weekend within the warm confines of our truck while in Calgary. Craig tried in vain to see if he could hook up our satellite TV, but all he was able to manage, was what we called the military channels, which showed the Pentagon channel and some other non entertaining programs. We were left with just what we could pick up locally, but found a nice selection of US broadcast shows to keep us interested.

The weather, although cold, was sunny with nary a cloud in sight. We arrived at the dealership Monday morning, waited about 15 minutes for the crane to show up, and quickly off loaded the three boats and two crated motors. Off we headed to fuel up before making the trek back to the US.

The Trans Canadian Highway which was the route we took, does not offer much as far as scenery as you can tell from the photo posted. But then come to think of it, as I write this, it's pretty much the same in North Dakota as the second photo proves.

At least I can proudly proclaim we have experienced the first snow of the season as we neared Minot, ND. It was trying to stick to the ground, but we passed through it and were under clearer skies and no snow a mere 10 miles down the road.

But, before the snow was too far from our minds, Craig tuned into the Christmas music on one of the Sirius satellite channels and off I went singing away. Craig could only handle so much of the music, and although he would never admit it, my singing, and as we neared Jamestown, ND we put the holiday spirit to rest for the day. As far as the snow? I'm sure Craig is looking forward to more of that than more of my singing. Fa la la la la !!!
