Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 27th day of March, 2015.
Wow, is it really that close to April already?
Easter weekend is right around the corner ……
Spring has definitely sprung here in Edmonton.
The snow is melting faster than a marshmallow over a campfire.
The buds on the trees are beginning to show.
The bunnies are already turning brown.
The birds are starting to return.
There are blades of grass green amidst the melting snow.
Soon ….. very soon, one morning I shall awake and there will be leaves on the trees.
I am very happy.
As I mentioned to a friend yesterday it is the little things in life that are the most sweet.
Oh, did I tell you that I was going on an adventure?
I did mention yesterday about taking a trip on our train public transit with a friend I met on the bus who happens to be one of my neighbours.
How cool is that?
Small world.
FOCUS CAROL FOCUS.
Anyway back to yesterday.
After I left the office I high tailed it to my friend’s work where we proceeded to walk to the train station.
It was a few blocks from where she works so it was a nice walk.
When we arrived …. we went down four “steep” flights of steps to the station.
There I scanned my bus ticket and we were on our way.
Walked to the platform and waited about 30 seconds before a train arrived.
It stopped and we proceeded to climb aboard.
I was not surprised on how full it was and of course we had to stand.
Thank goodness it was a quick trip but the train was hot.
The heater was still blowing hot air ….. perhaps the engineer had not walked outside to know just how warm it was ….. oh well.
By the time the ten minutes had passed and we arrived at our stop; I was having a meltdown.
So relieved to get off the train and be outside where we waited a few minutes for the bus; the bus that would take us home.
So in the end it was a few minutes faster and less time on the bus.
The walk to the station and the steps would be good exercise so definitely something to consider.
Now going down was okay but going up in the morning ……. yikes.
Anyway it was a pleasant experience and I am grateful that I had the opportunity.
Thank you to my new friend and neighbour.
Well almost time to go as I hear my ride is near ready.
I hope that you have an awesome Friday.
I wish you an amazing weekend.
Special Hello to: to all folks who take a chance and try something new.
Always, Carol and Alvin
