Here is the view from my balcony window. 
As all our fingers and toes and eyes and innards slowly uncross, and uncurl and relax.
I made it. The passport made it, passed through the car window of our laughing good Friend. The check in lady gave me a priority ticket for no apparent reason. The screaming baby in the flight bothered me not at all.
My sons could not greet me (I arrived in at 9.30) because of the rehearsal dinner (oops forgot about that) but on the way to the car rental in Calgary I happened upon a shuttle that was leaving at 10.30 and the lovely man brought me right to the door of my Motel. All along this life I encounter such kind people. But it was nighttime for the long drive. So I have yet to see where I am. Rainy darkness had wrapped up all the surprises.
We talked ’til two as you do. Then bed in our warm, teensy room.
I am here. In Alberta. It is chilly and overcast and will be a cold rainy day. Of course it will be, it is an outside wedding. But dense cloud is excellent light for portraits and I have my boots. But none of this matters, as I am here. In good time for the wedding. In Alberta, Canada. Oh Canada. I made it.
Thank you lofty guardian angels of the Fellowship of the Farmy.
Oh me of little faith.
Good morning. Now it is 8 am. I am late. I will call home soon and see how everything is going. Then make a cup of coffee, collect another banana from the table and settle back into bed to read some more! Later Camera House and I are going out to wander about aimlessly and explore.
Such slovenly behaviour.
Have a lovely, lovely day.

All best wishes to you and your beloved family Celi – have a wonderful time and hope your innards are completely uncurled by now xx Jo
Hurray! Yea! Yippee! I’m dancing around the bach in celebration. Yesterday a flock of honking geese flew over in V formation, and I explained to little Mira how the V formation helps everyone’s wings to stay strong over an arduous journey. The Fellowship has held you in V formation, and we have all flown with you. And what a perfect place to land. Wishing you luxurious unwinding and relaxing in this beautiful place in the mountains – and of course, a wonderful wedding. Well done!
Excellent news! I knew it :*)
All the best for an amazing trip and time well spent with your family.
Apparently, I missed quite a bit… and in the meantime you flew over and landed in Canada. And a wedding, ho my! I need to browse back through your previous posts to see what I’ve missed. I am sure the Farmy is in good hands, and clearly so are you. Enjoy.
The angels are singing. The fellowship of the farmy is rejoicing. Have a fabulous time at the wedding.
We are all rejoicing that you made it – but of course, we knew you would, Miss Celi!
Enjoy time to yourself and enjoy your son’s wedding – we will be looking forward to lots of pics of the day!
Whew!
I have such a huge smile on my face….all I can say is “WONDERFUL”!!!
‘A hundred million miracles’ did happen and more than a thousand shed happy tears in readiness for ‘the marriage of the season’ 🙂 ! All the photographers were ready at the wrong place in London for the baby: they should have been in beautiful Alberta!! Hope the Mother of the groom had a wonderful time and congratulations to the newly weds, rain or not!!
I’m so glad you made it. May you have a wonderful weekend and may the sun shine for you while you are in the mountains!
I’m SO happy, happy, happy that you made it to my country!! Have a wonderful time and enjoy the mountains…!
Alberta is thrilled to welcome you to our beautiful country.
I must say I was most impressed by your ability to run the farm, deal with the passport crisis, snap delightful photos and keep your blog up-to-date! Well done. Hope all goes well with the wedding.
Best wishes
Mary
This is a very Blessed couple !!
