What did I see?

On Sunday evening we went Airdrie to celebrate Joel's birthday at the Kay's.    The cake and strawberry pie Sherry made were delicious.

No candles so Joel with 17 made with forks.

When we were getting ready to go I was sitting in the van waiting.   I saw something running down the street.  It was about the size of a squirrel but I've seen enough squirrels to know it wasn't a squirrel.  I went through all the things I thought it might be.   It wasn't a gopher, it wasn't a rabbit, it wasn't a cat, it wasn't a dog, it wasn't a raccoon, and it wasn't a skunk.   It moved like a mouse but it was to big to be a mouse.   It was too short to be a ferret.    I know what it wasn't but I don't know what it was.  I followed it along the road and managed to get this picture before it ran into a yard.

What did I see?  You be the judge

I'm glad I had a camera because at least there is something in the picture.   There are times that my family has a hard time believing me.  I don't know why.  Its like the time I saw the elephant on the bike path by the river as I was riding home from work.  No one believed me that day either.   I might as well had seen a Sasquatch or a UFO.

Was it Christmas or was it a birthday?

When Candi and I arrived home from work there was a stack of boxes that had been delivered.   It was her new MacBook, iPod and printer that she ordered last week.  

It was like Christmas - at least for her.

At work one of the ladies had a baby recently so they had a "shower" for her this afternoon.   There were lots of treats and flowers left over and we were given some to bring home.

It was like someone's birthday.

Deja Vu all over again

I've only had this blog for about a week and already I'm repeating experiences.  Guess who forgot their wallet again today.   I thought I grabbed it as I ran out the door and put it in my pocket but it turns out that I grabbed a camera instead.     

Can you tell the difference?..... Neither could I.

The good thing was that I didn't need to get out the cardboard and sharpies to beg for money and because Candi and I went to work together she drove home (because I didn't have my driver's license).  

Last week you may remember me telling about Candi and I being stuck at a train crossing because the arm was stuck in the down position.  A lady got out of her car to hold up the arm so we could get through.  I never saw anyone do that before and I wished I had a camera to capture the moment.  You'll never guess what happened on the drive home today.   Believe it or not another arm was stuck in the down position and another person was out holding it up so we could drive through.   But this time I had a camera (but no wallet).  Too funny.

The person last week was more attractive and had better fitting pants.
