Another lazy day. I went down to the 2nd floor and did laundry. Really nice complimentary laundry room that had seven washers and dryers. Other than that, didn’t really do much of anything until about 1:00 PM, when we left and drove around for awhile and ended up at the Ammonite Factory.
Taken from the wooden bench in front of the Worldmark.Also from the bench.Canmore is very similar to Banff, incredible surroundings.
Very picturesque.Nice wall mural in town.
Mountain views from town are just spectacular.
A couple of days ago I was in bed and noticed my ring was broken. I have lost two or three diamonds out of the ring we had custom made when we got married 25 years ago. After losing the diamonds, I switched to a cheap band. I lost one band in Hawaii and now this one broke. Well, Michael bought me the most beautiful ammolite and silver band. I love it. I can’t wear it yet until we put a varnish like stain on it for when I go in the water. It’s just beautiful. Thank you dear. This one should last until we both die (hopefully).
If it has 3 solid colors, it is considered gem quality.
We weren’t allowed to photo the jewelry, but the other displays were okay.
The owner is a rock hound and fossil collector.
Fun burl chair.One of the employees working on a gem.These creatures were huge.Carol was our sales person. We will post a picture of her new ring soon.
We left the factory and just drove around. We went up to the Nordic Center (site of the 1988 Olympics) and around a couple subdivisions that were very interesting. Other than that it’s all about leftover chicken paprika.
Really like the utility boxes and the graphics on them.Looking down on Canmore from the edge of the dam.In the opposite direction looking at the water.Being from earthquake country, dam’s like this scare me.Nordic Center entrance.Flags of participating countries in the 1988 Olympics.
Avalanche cannons.The lake held back by the dam.Interesting retaining wall in the subdivision.Thought we’d scored and could plug in the Prius every night. These are for engine block heaters and they have them turned off right now.
A wonderful gift from our friends.I am getting in the outside pool, looking back, assuring her it is not cold and she is not buying it.Out I go.Pretty woman skipped joining me and headed to the hot tub in the cool night air.Into the tub, telling me I am in big trouble for taking these pictures.
