Hi all! Hank and I finished our last relay day in Innisfail, AB. After the End of Day celebration we carried onto Red Deer to get our luggage and then drove to Leduc (Edmonton Airport) to head back east for our 1 week holiday.

We got to visit all of the kids, grandkids, Hil and Pete, Carol, Randy and Nick, Patti and Brian, Jan, Vance and Ali, Joanie and Rick, Dawn and Mathew and even got a little cuddle in with Hemi!!!

Love always, Weedie and Jeepa xoxoxoo....... read more
