As promised, here is the final installment of our Family Vacation! (Which already took place over a month ago. Yeesh, time goes by way too fast!)

Friday, August 28
We had a nice, relaxing day after our big road trip adventure. Mom, Laura and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things (and had our groceries scanned through by Kyle! Yay!) Heh ( Read more... )

It's a good thing I wrote all of our daily events down ahead of time or else I would fail at completing this journal on our family vacation....

Let's move on from where we left off!

Tuesday, August 25
We drove with Uncle Jack to Radium Hot Springs in B.C. I had only been past Radium on the Greyhound at night, and I remembered snippets of torches and ( Read more... )

So I'm finally, finally updating about my Mom, Dad and sister's visit to Alberta. I'm going to squeeze as much as I can into the first part and then finish up with the second part in another entry.

I'm not going to go into quite as much detail as I normally do in my journal but I'll give a rundown of everything we did each day. Starting with:

I fail at writing in my LJ, I really do. And I'm afraid this isn't a very long entry, as I just don't have the time right now to write about everything that has happened over the last little while. That entry will come soon, I promise. But! Here's a preview ( Read more... )

I'm starting to prepare to get a new computer next month, so I've been going through some of the folders on my laptop hard drives. And I found three videos I made that I don't believe I ever posted. And what do these three vids have in common? They all feature U2 songs in them! I'm a big U2 fan and numerous songs of theirs have inspired me to make ( Read more... )

 Last week started off in very bizarre way. I got to the library at about 8:45 in the morning, as I usually do. Said hi to Deanna, our adult page, and Gail, the manager. Gail had just finished telling me how many e-mails she had to catch up on and how busy the week was going to be. I was putting my stuff away in my locker when I heard a loud noise ( Read more... )

 So before I get into part two, I just wanted to talk about all the wildlife we saw in Jasper. Every day, when we would drive into the lodge, there was at least one elk standing in front of someone's cabin, grazing. And one night, when we drove back to the hotels, there was one right outside the door to Kathy's hotel! They just don't care, heh, ( Read more... )

 Yay! Well, it's finally Saturday and I now finally have time to update my journal! I think I'll devote my time to talking about the fabulous library conference I went to last weekend in Jasper, Alberta. It was a four-day event, and it was both my first time at a library conference, and my first time in Jasper! So I was very excited.

Day One: April ( Read more... )

Hmm, the new Tragically Hip CD is quite mellow. I'm always reminded of Ontario when I listen to them........I guess because they're from Kingston and their music is so familiar ( Read more... )
