Basketball, Temple and Mothers Day in Calgary

On Friday afternoon, Taylor, Bob and I drove to Calgary.  After a stop and some supper at Jeremy and Julie's house we drove across the city to Aberhardt School for Taylor's first game.  There was an accident on Crowchild Trail and we were in a gridlock for at least a half hour and Taylor was three minutes late by the time we got there.  After her game we went to Sait for Taylor to cheer for her team mate in some kind of shoot-out.  Shortly after ten we arrived back at Jeremy's to spend the night.

It was Courtney's high school graduation this week-end, so Taylor's parents couldn't go to Calgary.

Saturday morning we attended the Calgary Temple with Edward, Jacqueline, Jeremy, Julie, Nathan and Tara.  Taylor waited out on the lawn and then when we came out we (except for Nathan and Tara) had a burger at Smashburgers and then we drove Taylor to Sait for her next game.  After the game we drove back across the city to Nathan's.  Again we were in a gridlock for a long time - this time on McLeod Trail.  We had supper with Nathan and Tara and the boys.  Taylor's last game was at 7:30 in the evening at Sait.  This time there was no trouble getting her there on time.  Taylor is on a Lethbridge team which practices in Stirling (she lives in Taber).  The team won the bronze medal in the tournament.

Sunday we attended church in the Midnapore ward.  Jeremy gave an excellent mother's day talk.  We had dinner at Jeremy's, had a short visit with Edward's family and got home early in the evening.

We have had a very hot, dry wind the last couple of days.  Two houses burnt down yesterday in Paradise Canyon.  

My miniature Iris plant is in bloom, the Saskatoon bushes are in bloom, the crab apple tree is in bloom and our neighbour's Mayday tree is in bloom.  This is causing Bob grief because of his hay fever.
