Oh Canada
Wednesday, March 7, 2007 at 12:10PM Ok...so I am frozen. That much is official. I can't seem to get warm and I can't seem to sleep through the night.
Arrived in Calgary and mom was supposed to pick us up at the airport. She says she was there, but I don't believe her. We waited at the international arrivals area for 2 hours. After the first hour I started calling the hospitals to make sure she hadn't been in an accident. After that I just started to get angry. I paged her, walked up and down the airport...no mom. Finally, called her and she answered her phone at home. Yah sure, she was at the airport.
All this time she is complaining about how we have been gone for too long...then we get here and she sits on her duff probably watching reruns of "House" instead of getting us at the airport. We ended up taking a taxi home. Good thing she had home made spaghetti, red wine and cookies waiting for us or I would have turned around and high-tailed it back to Bangkok!
Now we are in Sparwood at my nona's house. Like I said, I am frozen. But really, it is very beautiful here. We sit at her kitchen table drinking tea and cappuccino and watch the deer walk through her yard. Gorgeous views of the snow covered mountains in every direction. A very different kind of beauty to what we have experienced this past year.
Just finished sanding and varnishing her hard wood floors...I guess we are her cheap labour. She says the cheque is in the mail, but seeing as she doesn't have a chequing account I have a hard time believing her.
