It rained all night and was still raining when we awoke. This day was going to turn into one of those days that we were just going to “chill out”. It was a cold 5 degrees, and a constant drizzle. Alberta needs the rain both for slowing down those wildfires and also to get those newly seeded crops out of the ground. The radio was advertising a local golf tournament as well as the start of the Annual Rodeo. Good luck with that!
Debbie broke out her sewing machine and began to sew on a project that she had been working on before we left Nanaimo. She had a deadline to complete it by July 1st. so this was a good day to work on it.
I was behind in working on the blog so I too needed this day to work on it and post some posts that I had worked on in the past week.
We both worked steadily for three hours and then decided that we could go back to Rocky Mountain House find a wifi hot spot and post some posts as well as catch up on some e-mails.
We shopped at the local Canadian Tire for a USB memory stick so that Debbie could download some movies. We then went to Tim Hortons and hooked into their wifi. I was able to post three posts, but their wifi was not strong and it took quite some time. Debbie was unable to download the movies that she wanted to.
While we were busy working on the blog in Timmys we looked up and noticed a white Armadillo pulled by a white Santa Fe drive through the parking lot and park near the Tim Hortons. We both exclaimed that someone had stolen our rig although our Santa Fe was still out front. Debbie approached the driver and introduced herself as being an Armadillo owner also. Jeanette told us that she had purchased her Armadillo in Enderby in March. She lives in Drayton Valley and was visiting her father in Rocky Mountain House. She said she “absolutely loves her Armadillo”. She obliged Debbie with a photo and Debbie gave her our blog business card and encouraged her to follow us on the blog. Her Armadillo is #40. Jeanette suggested that the Armadillo owners should have reunion. It was a great coincidence.
The rain had stopped late in the afternoon when we returned to the campground and we checked out the boat launch in the event we could go kayaking tomorrow. The weatherman predicted another cold and wet day and mentioned that there was a possibility of snow tonight and the temperature could go down to 2 degrees!!
Debbie whipped up a great chicken dinner and then we read and blogged until it was time for bed. We will see what tomorrow brings.
