Some Vacation Days can be Sad

Advising that blog will not be updated for the next few days as we have received word of passing of our sister-in-law Enid in Edmonton. We are catching a WestJet plane from Las Vegas to Calgary on the 27th at 7:00PM to Calgary. Son, Ross will pick us up and take us home to High River. Sunday we will drive to Edmonton for the Memorial on Monday at 11:00AM. Then return to High River. Back to the airport Wednesday March 31st for a departure flight to Las Vegas at 8:00AM, arriving Vegas at 10:00AM. We originally were not going to return until the 3rd of April, but as we have no food in our High River home decided to return to ELTORO, our "Home on Wheels" sooner. WestJet was very accomadating, and no increase in cost was assessed with the flight changes. The last couple of days have been quiet for us, although most people would think of being in Vegas as a high activity time. I guess we are just vegetating and quietly mourning the loss of a beautiful lady. We will miss her immensely.
Here is her obituary Published in the Edmonton Journal:
