Long Weekend wrap up...

 Anniversary -Thanksgiving weekend!

On Sunday hubby gave me this anniversary present...

My dad was a collector...he never threw anything away. Hubby had a jar of old keys of my dads. Awhile back  I said I would like one of dad's keys for a necklace...

and here is what hubby did!

The chain is beautiful...it matches the keys perfectly. 

He had both keys engraved...one says 40 years...the other has our initials on it...

the same as he engraved on a tree where we were engaged at a lake by Banff!! 

We celebrated our anniversary supper alone.

 (next weekend we will have a celebration with our children!)

We had supper in a revolving restaurant in Downtown Edmonton...

The building revolves  once every hour and is on the 24th floor...

The building hubby spends his days working in...

Down below...

The river valley...

Our meal was delicious and we revolved around....3 times!!

(Earlier in the day we walked to the Rutherford House...and climbed those stairs..

will post on that later this week and let you know how many stairs there are!)

Thanksgiving Monday we spent with our children and grandchildren!

It was a wonderful long weekend!

A Happy Thanksgiving...

High Level Bridge Walk

If you like, come with me on a walk across the High Level Bridge. 

The day is warm...we still have the beauty of the fall...and if we wait we don't know how the weather can change.  

On our way we'll take a detour to the Legislature Buildings. 

Here there are a number of pools that children can wade in on a warm day. 

I'm thinking in the next week, they will drain some of them.

They keep one of the pools filled and use it as a skating rink in the winter.

The Alberta Legislature is 100 years old this year. They are giving the building a face lift.

We get to the High Level Bridge..If you look on top of the bridge..

This train runs from Downtown Edmonton across the top of this bridge to the Old Strathcona area during the summer months. This area is know for its shopping, art and entertainment.

Scenes from the middle of the bridge

North Saskatchewan River 

On the south side of the river is the University of Alberta and the University Hospital.

In among the University is the Rutherford House. Home of the first Premier of Alberta.

It is now a museum and has a wonderful Tea House, I love to visit....

Downtown pictures from the bridge.

Oh yes...the stairs...

We can cross the river another way......

If we walk down these stairs we can cross below the LRT tracks to get to the Tea House...

(can you guess how many steps there are?)

We'll go that route to the Tea House...and see the quaint place...

We may have difference scenery....

The weather is getting cool....

it may snow...so we'll see maybe next week we'll go

Hope you'll come along!!

And we'll count the steps... to see who got the right amount!

Well that was our weekend in a nutshell...

Scripture and a Snapshot

"No Eye has seen,

no ear has heard, 

no mind has conceived

what God has prepared for those who love Him.
