Stampede Time (again)

Not being much of a Stampeder myself, I was surprised when I started getting quite excited about my staff party at Stampede. Maybe it was the prospect of a free meal that I didn't have to cook. Whatever it was, Gord and I hauled our keesters off to have a wonderful hoe down. The food was excellent, the company superb, but after we didn't win any door prizes, we snuck out to the fair grounds. And what an adventure that was. People, I have been to Stampede before, but I must say, this time round I was thouroughly overwhemled. So many lights, colors, sounds and smells (okay, I couldn't really smell anything - thanks summer cold).

I needed relief - fast. This relief came in the wonderful form of Dippin Dots - the only carny food we actually braved.

Also available at the grounds -

I have nothing more to say about that.

And also, had the priviledge of hearing the lovely Jann Arden. What a voice!

Baerwald-Scammell Wedding

The Sears Pose hangin out before the wedding. Note the sweet mirrored tiles that still hang in my parents house. My mom has recently contemplated getting rid of these. Dont' think I could handle it.

Myr, Gord and I remain relatively calm until . . .

The Jelly Belly's come out.

Nice one from the ceremony.

And reception. Erica, way to go, you make hotness look easy.

Saskatchewan. Need I say more.
