Lizzy in the Bucket



First of all, I would like to say I had nothing to do with that last post. My husband is weird all on his own.
Monday, Nik decided to stay home due to falling on his butt in the parking lot and hurting his back so just before supper he sticks Liz in our laundry basket and took a picture of it. Oh I should tell you it's no ordinary laundry basket, it's a calf waterer my dad got at the UFA. It works so I'm not complaining.
oh and that's clean laundry in there, I just hate doing laundry

Driving Game

Coming home from Edmonton yesterday we got onto the topic of the theory I had as a kid that Alberta was grouped according to letters which is why Calgary has so many c-named towns around it and Edmonton has so many e-named towns around IT. This led us to try to think of an Alberta town for each letter of the alphabet. So, I am going to post the list, but if you want to try on your own, just read the 4 rules then skip the rest of this post.

the rules:
1: You cannot use Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, or any town that begins with the word Fort
2:We used a road atlas to help with Q, Y and Z and to check our answers so you can too
3:Don't bother finding X, there is no town in Alberta that starts with X
4: Towns DO include Cities, Hamlets and Villages!



ready?






Ready?







alright, here we go!


Airdrie, Balzac, Cochrane, Didsbury, Entwhistle, Falun (Hi Ryan!), Grimshaw, Hanna, Innisfail, Jofre, Kapaskiwin, Leduc, Mayerthorpe, Nanton, Oyen, Ponoka, Queenstown, Rocky Mountain House, Stavely, Three Hills, Usona, Valleyview, Wetaskiwin, X- there is no X, Youngstown, Zama City

and we are done. By the way, to get to Zama City, just head west on Zama road off of highway 35 north of Meander River. Here is their website!

how did you do?

I also think that Cayley should change thier name to Xanax or something so that X is covered. Maybe I'll start a letter writing campaign, likely I won't.

Also: I think I spend way to much time on the highways
