World's Biggest Egg

Or so they claim. 😏  However, it is really big, and it rotates kinda like the space needle which is cool.  Was bushed while driving so slept here for a couple hours.  Awesome huge park for walking pups.  And when I woke up there was a farmers market in the field so walked around there for a bit.  Overnighting in lloydminster walmart.  Lots of RVs and great internet so watching a little TV.  Will get last items needed before taking off.  Fields are bright yellow and sky is blue as driving so the scenery is great.

Last Leg

We are up early today.  Going to start driving toward Buffalo Narrows.  Will do it over 2 days.  Harvey is never a fan of mornings. 😏

Literature Packaging Day

Today is a very important day.  Our team is packaging the literature for going north.  We are meeting at the Kingdom Hall in Evansburg and working til it is done.  As you can see from the final report last year it is worth it.  Lots of work for good results.  Very thankful Jehovah is allowing me to do this.

Overnighting at Walmarts Is Awesome

So many have heard a rumour that all Walmarts don't allow overnighting anymore.  Not true.  Only a few. Most are just great and have the best internet.  This one in Hinton has Shaw go WiFi so you can even watch movies in your unit, or work online as I do.  If you ever want to see where they are Rvparky.com will list them.  Monster storm last night so moving slow and reading right now.  Was at the rec centre here swimming and soaking in hot tub.

Woahhhh, For Real

Unlike the figures at wax museums the figures here look like their subjects.  Harvey went into full attack mode on the grizzly and the mountain goat.  

This is probably the most awing place I have ever camped.  This is our view.  Speaks to the artistic and incredible power of our Creator.  It cost $15.  I know there are many free pull offs for overnighting but being by myself, if a bear does show I like the idea of having screaming assistance of fellow campers.  😀

The bearextender is doing its job too.  Look how far away I am from the hub.  With no BEx no signal.  With plugged in full signal.

Oh ya, look at the pic of global warming.  Another few years and this will be the Columbia sand fields.

Okay we are on our way soon.

Love to all,  D,H & P

No Way! Not another one!

Pearl's words as we stopped for yet another walk.  She ran to the backseat so I couldn't reach her.  The North Saskatchewan River truly is gorgeous.  We are now overnighting at the Icefields visitor centre. 

Cheaper in Lake Louise

Gas is 15 cents cheaper in the park than Golden.  Yayyy!  We stayed overnight in L Louise overflow.  It is basically a parking lot of RVs. However, if a person is traveling economically it is awesome.  The ranger stopped a warned us about big grizzlies in the area, so I did get my bear spray out of the cab...to look at as I drank mom's wine.  On the way we stopped at several rest areas and did walks and pup dips as it was 39 degrees.  This morning we got to the lake Louise parking lot before the zoo started.  Was there at 7 and found the perfect spot to park for our morning walk.  CART WORK bros were already there.  From Calgary congregation.  2 hour drive to get there, 4 hour shift.  What a cool day in service that would be!  Anyway, Pearl and Harvey are tuckered from morning walk so will now start driving toward Jasper .  Staying at visitor centre at icefields tonight, but lots of walks between.

Love to all!   D, H & P

And Here We Go!

The co-pilots are ready.  Northern service, here we come.  Goal for tonight is Lake Louise overflow. 😀

Au revoir Lauren

Today, our congregation is celebrating Lauren's move.  If I were to describe this person I would say: A faithful, loyal servant of Jehovah God, and a true, close follower of Jesus Christ.  Someone who often silently works behind the scenes in the congregation using her own time, talents and resources to bring joy to the young and older ones in the congregation, and her family.  Genuine from the heart.  A hard worker who has prepared herself to carry her own load in life despite obstacles, while leaning on Jehovah for guidance.  A service partner who will not complain no matter hhhooowww cold it gets, or how far she has to drag a cart on blustery days.   Someone who always responds with class and graciousness.  Never seeking the spotlight.  Kind to a fault.  Fun and upbuilding to be around.  Thankful to her parents.  Humble and can sew ravishing outfits from very little.  Modest.  Gentle.  A ready smile for all.  Wonderful note-taker at conventions.  ....It will be so exciting to see her take all these qualities and the other fine training she has received from her parents on to her new congregation in France.  Tim and Tanya, with Jehovah God's oversight, aimed their arrow, and did a fine job.  What a beautiful daughter and person they produced.

Little Tweaks

Welcome to my blog!  Been quite some time since I wrote but since I am often too wordy for things like Instagram thought it easier to post things going on here, because there IS ALWAYS a story. 😀  Okay, so here is the service-mobile for this year up north.  Tried it out last weekend and everything worked as planned.  Got the solar panels on the roof, installed fantastic fan so we dont roast toast and grissel ourselves in hot weather, built the deck with wood stripping so light weight and not hot for Harvey and Pearl's feet (and lots of storage underneath)  Notice this cool thing.  See the small cargo door above the deck????  Well it opens and goes to a doggy door I put under the table on the inside so the squirts can run in and out at will...thus making it easier for them to annoy everyone with complete freedom!  Oh...can't forget the awning, and have an idea to make a kayak holder on the side. Gotta have a little fun after service up there! 🙌  Last year, some of the others brought their kayaks so this year I wanna join in too. 😀  Mind you Harvey and Pearl will just watch from their deck as they, and I, are both done with them kayaking.  In reality it always seemed like such a torment for all of us. 😕  "Mommy mommy please don't grab my tail as I swim for shore."  Lastly, got the bear extender up for wifi so I can get reception.  Anyway, all worked last weekend and now ready for the Regional convention in two weeks.  If the first come first serve campground the brothers recommended is all full by the time I get there No Biggy as we will be happy in the Walmart too.  Anyways, everyone have a great weekend!  Love to all,

Darci, Harvey & Pearl
