Brief Interlude

I suppose I had better get at things here and do another posting. It's not like something hasn't been happening on the site, other than last week! We understand the weather was not great here in Lacombe. We were on the warm side of the Rockies with my brother and sister-in-law enjoying a week away that was booked a year ago. We struggled deciding if we should go or not, but we went and I believe it was a needed break from the hectic pace here in Lacombe. Time in the East Kootenay Valley with the deep green spruce and warm golden Larch trees was a feast for the eyes! We usually get to Fairmont when snow has moved into the valley for the winter! This pic shows us on our way up into the hills! The next day I dared not say "Let's do something!" Again, I am thankful for our red pick-up four wheel drive truck!

The road goes on - we didn't!

In our travels during the week we also went to a service station just outside of Fort Steele and picked up a CP caboose (van) pot bellied stove we saw earlier in May. This little - but heavy - treasure will end up in our new office waiting room area. Or that is the plan at this point. We debate where to put it - but I have discovered the spot I want to see it finally rest. Whatever the case - it will be in the station!

BEFORE we left, our sidewalks were poured. In anticipation of the cold weather we had every poured concrete surface covered with insulated tarps. As well, Peter and I installed our "heavy" steel mechanical room door. This guaranteed the lockability (is this a real word?) of the building while we were gone.

In goes the door!

Today is a sunny day so I should be able to go over later and take some pics of the almost completed segments of our exterior! But that is a whole new story!
