Drumheller

My dear Friends

The flight from Toronto to Calgary was great. I had a nice companion along the way, and it was interesting to realize how much i recognized the landscape from all those years ago. My cousin's son, who now lives on Prince Edward Island (Anne of Green Gables country) was there to meet me and apparently he had no difficulty in recognizing me. Although he thought he might have to look for a lady in a habit!

Actually it was hot, so i quickly changed into my shorts and we talked all the way back on the 80 mile journey. And then i met my late cousin's husband. Bill, and it was just like old times.

Today i have been wandering round Drumheller talking to people who have wanted to share their many and varied experiences of my cousin Ann, who left her mark on this little town and is remembered in so many different ways.

Time is running out on the computer in the local library so more later!

Shalom from the Badlands in Alberta
