More Golf!

I finally got to play golf at Kananaskis, which is apparently the most famous golf course in Alberta!  Whenever I tell someone in Calgary that I play golf they immediately ask me if I have played at Kananaskis.  I guess even the non-golfers know of this course.  The course is set literally at the base of Mount Lorette and Mount Kidd, two mountains that tower above the course at 10,000 feet.  The views are amazing!  Heck they should pay me to market this stuff!  The kids gave Jim a "golf score card" album for his birthday, and we have stuffed that thing full of score cards from the Canadian courses we have played since moving here.  We've accumulated eighteen score cards in the sixteen weeks we have lived here!  

We have met some great people since moving to Canada. One of our favorite couples is Murray and Christina who have two young sons that Jim and I have taken quite a shine to.  We had a wonderful Peruvian dinner at their house while watching UT "squeak by" a victory over OSU last weekend.  Christina is a OSU alum, but we like her anyway. :)  The boys, Tyler and Blake, are great fun and keep their mom and dad busy!

We head down to H-town, tomorrow, to attend the "Breakbulk Conference".  Ask Jim and Casey about it....they're the logistic specialists in the family.  I'm just tagging along for the chance to cook an early Thanksgiving dinner for the kids.  This will be the first time in thirty years we haven't been together on Thanksgiving.  :(   Makes me a little teary eyed (sniff sniff) when I think about it.  We will all be together at Christmas, so all's good!

Another beautiful fairway at Kananaskis.  They're all pretty spectacular.
