@ronandannette , every time I see a photo of your mountains I think about how lucky you guys are. Floridaman999 is right, they make for a beautiful view.
Calgary's 40 minutes east of Banff National Park and I'd be lying if I didn't admit we take it for granted. I'm a little embarrassed at how seldom I ever even lift my eyes to actually see them. That's what makes it really great to have out-of-town visitors once in a while so we can appreciate them properly.@ronandannette , every time I see a photo of your mountains I think about how lucky you guys are.

That sounds enchanting! I've never once in my life seen them - pretty sure we don't have them here.No snow down here! Instead . . .
Anyone remember me mentioning the firefly event we try to win tickets for each year? Well it's that time of year again, and this year we're going! Since we haven't had good luck with the lottery system, we decided to bypass that whole deal and attend a charity function instead. It's kind of like a dessert party for firefly viewing. Here's a video of the same event from a few years ago (which we did not attend):
We are so excited to finally see the synchronous fireflies and to support a fantastic organization while doing so. I'll raise a glass of wine to our group here while I'm soaking in the beauty and wonder of nature that night, and I'll raise an extra glass for you, @Kitty 34 since I know you especially enjoy the fireflies, too.

We've got 3 universities, two seminaries and a nationally acclaimed tech/trade school and fine arts school - probably something here in town that would tickle her fancy!Hmmm . . . our daughter is interested in looking into universities in Canada. Maybe I should see if Calgary has a school with a program that fits her plans. We still have a few years to gather info, but I have to admit I wouldn't mind visiting her and Banff at the same time!

Not much to report here. Just thinking about you all and wanted to say hi.
Leebee, hope you are feeling better. Love reading about the wedding planning.
Ronandannette, lovely Disney memory!
Jane, hope you feel better soon, too. Have you ever tried acupuncture for pain relief? We've all three had good success with acupuncture for various ailments. Your machine looks interesting, though. Does it massage? Sorry about the flooding. That's certainly no fun.
Hope everyone else here is doing well!
