Water flows uphill towards money.
I’m jumping into the frugal waters this year to see how much fun can be had for free (or next to nothing.) Luckily, the Banff Centre is making it awfully easy so far. wooot!
Earlier this week I took a break from my computer and went into the belly of the Other Gallery to see what kinds of creative things were happening behind closed doors. Daniel (pictured here) has built his own kayak. It was something I had admired for quite some time, seeing it strapped to the roof of his car in our parking lot. It’s such a fun little break to see what people are creating while I’m playing with excel spreadsheets. har har.

The ladies of Banff took to the Rockies this past weeknd. Wait, we’re already in the Rockies. We spent a weekend in the woods (better.)
The weekend was spent knitting, napping, chatting, snowshoeing and tanning by a nice wood burning stove. Ahhh.
One fantastic book while in the woods is Off the Beaten Track, stories of Canadian women studying botany, hiking, camping and exploring the Rockies by horseback. After a few stories I had visions of trying to trace their adventures myself this summer, to test their tracks myself. Until a co-worker told me it would be near impossible in one summer. Oh well, I can still paint flowers down by the river with a basket full of chocolate brownies. And did you know that Mary Vaux married Charles Doolittle Walcott? Dr. Doolittle. He could apparently “smell a fossil.” I love it.
mmm digital snacks…
I bought a new digital camera today!
It was finally time to replace the ‘ol 2002 Sony, and after one look at this picture I instantly wanted to take a bite out of it. Which is how I make all my big purchase decisions. Chris kindly explained the pixel and zoom factors… but the selling point was still it’s nibbleness.
Have a lovely Sunday!
