Century Old Man

I asked a few of my friends a while back what some questions would be if they got a chance to talk with a 100 year old man. I was asking them this, because I was in fact sitting down to talk with a century old man.

This man, who still lives on his own in the small hamlet of Ranfurly, Alta. is one of the most interesting and funny people you will ever meet.

This story was and still is especially hard for me, because his character is so unique that it is terribly hard to portray into the story, but I hope I did just a little bit,

Less than 100 days...

I found out the other day from my bff that her wedding will in fact be in less than 100 days. Crazy!

I also was sent a message from her asking why I hadn't posted a blog in a while, so this one's for you, Amber!

The wedding preparations are coming along from what I can tell. As you may know from an earlier post we have ordered the bridesmaid dresses, and we have booked our accomodations.

We have also booked our hotel for our one-night stay at Niagara Falls and we are looking into costs of rentals cars.

As the maid of honour, I am reading up on what I need to do, and so I am starting to prep an itinerary and make a tentative plan for Amber's stagette.

I never realized how much work a wedding could be until this, and it's not even mine!

Glad I have no chance of having a wedding anytime soon....

I am getting really excited for Amber's wedding...but terribly sad that she and her fiance' will be packing up and moving to Thunder Bay, Ontario in less than two months.

It actually makes me sad to even think about it.

At least you can continue the tradition of reading my blogs from T.B, Amber!
