Counting Sheep!

Lots of miles . . . and lots of big horn sheep!

The 'luxury' of motel rooms and restaurants got old very quickly. Although the last review was originally scheduled for Saturday, the owners were very accommodating and we did Clearwater, BC (review # 92) a day early. When we wrapped it up about 1:30 Friday afternoon, we decided to point the car south and head 'home'; albeit it's still not 'home, home'.




We were treated to herds of big horn sheep at the beginning of our trek along the Canadian Rockies and then again as we left the area. It's amazing to us that these wild creatures show no fear of humans - or vehicles.



We also took time to stop at a huge glacier and Roger got some awesome pictures. The weather cooperated this year and it is one of the most scenic drives we've ever taken.

Last year the 8% downgrades coming south made me extremely nervous, but I blamed it on towing a 38 foot fifth wheel behind us. However, those same grades are no better in a rental car. They are just plain scary! So glad that portion of the route is behind us.

Turned the rental car in this morning, saving a couple days on the cost. Spent some time then pricing the dishwasher I picked out, buying supplies, and getting prescriptions refilled. Have decided to buy it at Sears, and the sales guy was generous enough to tell us that it was going on sale tomorrow, so it would be worth waiting one more day. So we'll venture out again tomorrow and make our big purchase. We get some strange looks when we tell them we want to pick it up in Oklahoma! But as is always a danger when shopping for one thing . . . I found a washer & dryer that I fell in love with! Maybe next year. Roger still has a TV to buy when we get home.

This afternoon we've spent getting re-acquainted with our recliners. Pulled some left-overs out of the freezer and popped them in the crock pot. It's a good day.
