Yesterday started out quite cool with rain. The dogs and I got wet going to the dog park in the apartment complex, but they were pretty quick about taking care of business.

It was a stay inside sort of day. The temperature dropped and we ended up getting a few inches of snow, but by the end of the day, it warned and the sun came out melting everything.

We always seem to have shitty weather over the long weekend. It is Alberta after all. The 2 week forecast shows temps in the upper teens, I can handle that for sure.

Next week, my friend of 30+ years, JB, visits from sunny California. We’ve got a busy few days planned including a trip to Banff and white water rafting. We’ve only got 3 full days to explore, so I can show him everything that Alberta has to offer, but Banff is beautiful and shouldn’t be missed. It’ll be great seeing him, it’s been 6 years since I was in California and we went to Six Flags, that was a great day.

Today will be a slightly warmer day than yesterday. I’m planning on dropping by the ball park for a bit, presuming games are on and heckling my friend who’s working the plate. I’ll bring the dogs as well, they love going for car rides and also love people.

Tonight is a meatloaf night with mashed potatoes. I was going to make it yesterday, but I made egg salad sandwiches from a recipe from the Fairmont hotel and OMG was it ever good. The key ingredient was Dijon mustard, I mean aside from the eggs and it was amazing. I wish peeling eggs was easier. That was my first attempt at making egg salad, amazing and a bit sad that it took me almost 55 years to make it. Now I’m going to make it regularly.

Enjoy your Sunday.
