Flames win

SNOW was the morning greeting and lots of it. Seems we timed our trip just right getting safely home and traveling in great weather. The temp now is -12 but it will get lower by evening. The snow came down thru the morning.

It was a slow start for all, I updated the blog for last 4 days while Sheldon went out to snap the couple mez pics. He cleared snow from walks while out there too. The girls had a really slow start but eventually arose to have lunch. They ran to town after to pick up Shaina's jeep that had command start installed and hit the tanning salon before Britt was back.

Even once the sun came out it still softly snowed creating a good layer across the pastures. So much so it caused a booby trap over the "pond", Britt ran out to feed Julio and during a quick run back to protect his bowl she biffed 'er followed soon by poor Daisy who did a crazy leg scramble going down hard. Pepper did a smaller version behind but then the rest starting with Bird got smart and took another route around.

Sheldon and I watched a couple episodes of Marco Polo before we were off to the city to take in the first Flames game in forever. Tonight is another battle of Alberta against the Oilers, same battle we missed at New Years. We stopped at Tony Roma's before to use up a gift card, Thanks Grama & Papa. Sadly Tony's is lacking ambiance, taste and service of the other yummy establishments in the area. It was then time to get parked and get to the dome. By now it was COLD at -25.

here is my cold beverage drink holder during the game and below my view for most of it, blocked by a darn big cowboy hat, just my luck..

The game started out slow and not in Calgary's favor but eventually they pulled it together and got the win 4-2. We met with Sheldon's co-worker and friends in Duttons (a long hike up to our seats each time lol, lower bowl only next time) between periods and donated our cash to the 50/50. We cruised thru the casino after the game before heading home in the bitter cold; a Tims stop helped that :) We arrived home after midnight just after Britt and her 2 friends who had gone to the movies and were having a sleepover.
