Golf and Patchwork shops

Al was true to his word. the very next day he and I and a friend of his, Keith, have an 8:20am hit off at the Copper Point Golf Club Ridge course! Every tee saw me looking around 360 degrees at Canadian Rockies. Amazing.

The golf was ok too although my faux par was to beat mine hosts by 1 and 3 shots respectively. Sounds impressive if I say I shot an 84, but that is until I tell you the par was 62 (golfers of all grades and persuasions will know what this means). Because we used carts (believe me I would not have been able to walk the 18 holes pulling a buggy because it was SO up and down) we finished by noon. I then walked home via the golf course that abuts Kath's place not knowing thet laurel had just left to walk to Kath's coffee shop via the road. That meant a quiet afternoon for me and a pleasant coffee-shop afternoon for Laurel.

Tuesday (today) we had turkey lunch at the cafe cooked and 'carved' by Al's fiance Michelle (see photos) before a trip to Invermere with me as driver. Actually, Laurel and I both drove by mutual agreement, but I was the one sitting behind the wheel saying repeatedly "passenger in the gutter" each time I turned right ... I mean, left. Laurel went to one patchwork shop while I hunted out some vacuum cleaner bags for Kath's VC at the local Bunnings (read Homewares) store. Then I hung around at the second patchwork shop while Laurel chatted up the friendly Canadian shop assistant and bought enough fabric to make her day - possibly her week.

Tomorrow Kath has arranged a trip to Calgary for us to see the prairies and for her to have dinner with Jeremiah, brother of Caleb, and his girlfriend. Kath stayed with Jo and Caleb before she came to Canada. Kath met Jeremiah when he was visiting Down Under a couple of years ago. He is visiting Calgary so Kath said "let's go". We drive there, stay overnight, see some sights and then drive home. Round trip 620kms!

Hopefully, I'll have some photos of the trip. By all for now, DMM
