An Edmonton Visit

I mentioned in my previous post that I took some photos in the house I grew up in, which is now for sale. Here I am with my Mom and my brother in that familiar kitchen. The decor has changed, but the memories remain. I put together my first childhood scrapbook on the floor of that kitchen, with a construction paper book as my album and Elmer's white school glue for adhesive.
I'm sad to see it go, but the house has just become too large and too much work for my Mom, and the time was right to put it on the market. It will be strange to visit Edmonton and not have it to come home to.

While I was home, I managed to hook up with my girlfriend Heather who - I can't believe - I haven't seen for almost 20 years!
I also spent time with my oldest and dearest friends, Cathryn and Mark. They, along with my dear friend Mary, tolerated my sentimental cravings - I don't have access to Earl's or the Olive Garden at home! And thanks so much to Connie for introducing me to yet another Edmonton must-see, Treasured Memories. It has aisle after aisle of awesome product. I'll definitely be back!
