After showering, we walked up to Ken and Charlene’s. Ken had breakfast cooking and poured us each a cup of coffee as we arrived. We also received a warm welcoming from Little Bear, Rocky and Katie. Charlene was a little slower today—she had been feeling so much better yesterday that she over-did it a bit and was feeling the affects today.
The kitchen...
The "good room" (aka...the room not used very much)...
Later in the morning, Ken drove us into Cochrane to do laundry and a little shopping. They had offered their laundry facilities to us but I decided it was easier to go to a Laundromat and do all the loads at once and just get it over with. We had planned on going into Calgary in the afternoon but decided that we might put that off until tomorrow. We spent the rest of the day visiting—Charlene’s nephew and kids from Winnipeg had dropped in for a visit as well.
Ken took us for a drive around the lakes (there are 2...thus Cochrane Lakes) to show us the new development that is being built. It is a rather exclusive development with huge houses on beautifully manicured lots. When finished, the development will completely encircle the lakes...what a change for the original single road with homes that currently goes along one side of the relatively small lake. Cochrane and the surrounding area is growing like crazy with new subdivisions going up. A lot of people are moving out this way from Calgary...the commute to work is reasonable. It takes Ken and Charlene about 40 minutes to get to work in the city.
We called it a night at about 9 p.m. and headed back to the trailer. Oh my goodness, we are getting old! What happened to the late night partying we used to do? Last time we were out here visiting, Steve and Ken stayed up drinking until 4 a.m.! Well...there’s still one more night left before we leave....
