Have arrived home from the secret surprise holiday (my siblings wanted us ALL to get-together plus spouses and offspring as a surprise 40th wedding anniversary for my parents) and am locked out of my house until my husband gets back from work. (Yes, he was at the surprise get-together, but my sibs flew him in, while I drove up with the kids and the dog.)
Anyway, it was a LONG holiday. We left on July 1st. Spent two loooonnnnnnng days in the car. Stopped at Grand Beach, Manitoba (near Winnepeg,) stayed at my brother-in-law's cabin there for a few days, and then put in another 13 hour drive to get to Cardston, Alberta, where my parents were. Rocky Mountains. Yay!
Getting back home again… not so yay.
