McMuray Weekend

The boots are required for the work and the shorts are cool!! It's O.K. by me.
The house is looking great. I bet this is the first July 4th you've spent working this hard! Good job everyone.

We just got back from Fort McMurray. We took Highway 881 through Anzac, Janvier, Conklin and Lac La Biche. What a beautiful highway! It is so smooth compared to #63. Very little traffic. Reminds you of Highway 63 when it was first paved. Even the trees are closer to the highway like the other one used to be. It's paved all the way to Lac La Biche. Thanks to Graham for letting us know about this highway being completed. Dad gave me a tour of Janvier! Pretty romantic for an old couple, don't you think?

By the way - I calculated the mileage on our poor old car. We have over 210,000 miles on it. Each way we got 39 miles to the gallon. Pretty good eh?

We enjoyed our time with the family in McM. Thanks to Brent & Roxanne for your bed & breakfast. It is perfect and the price is definitely a plus. Be careful, it might get habit forming. Thank you to Charlene & Louis for having everyone for supper on Saturday. We celebrated Mikel and Leslie's birthdays. It is always so fun to get together.

Our two little pregnant mama's are looking great as well.

We miss you Americans and want you to know that we love you lots.

Love to all,
Gramma & Grampa
