Saturday & Sunday, 6-7 July 2013.
Thought some of the out of town CD-OM folks might like to take a picnic in High River this weekend. So we sent out an invite and got a small number up for the event.
Shelley suggested we pop over to her friends Annie and Herb. They have a lovely garden home and an art gallery. We caught them quite by surprise and they indicated their place was such a mess. We graciously offered to help tidy things up a bit with them. That took up Saturday. Sunday we just toured the neighbourhood to find something you could really get dirty at. Too easy. Another great day done.

Shelley Bannister, Pat Willmott, Denys Beames, Karl Burndorfer - AHS team |
Little bit of dust buildup on their driveway. |
I'll just start at the top of this ramp and clean things up at bit. Don't
want anyone to slip, do we now. |
Lets switch to power tools now. No power! Not a problem. |
Bit of petrol in the tank, Now where's the on switch? |
Oh that's right, manual start on this model. |
Nice time for a break, Please join us for a choice of Stroganoff, Asian
stir fry (Basmati Rice!), Salads and / or sandwiches. Followed by desserts
and your choice of beverages. |
She may not keep up with the dusting, but she's an awesome cook! |
Shelley and Herb into some heavy lifting. Compost bin at the back of
the yard, right?
|
More gas already! |
Dirty water out, clean in... |
We need smaller buckets! |
Come on boys, take a bit of time for a nice cool drink of water! |
The good old days of being a kid and making mud pies, muffins, cookies,
bundt cakes... |
Car wash training, if you get good here, you can do cars. |

Pat, a veritable ray of sunshine in the group. Well, at least 2 500 watt
bulbs worth, and that's bright! |
Just don't make them like this anymore. Quite sturdy these beams! |
Almost done washing up the spilt potting soil. |
Communal showers for everyone after work. Just need to get a little
more wet on the front side here. |
Tea is ready Pat, hurry up. |
I'll just need a minute to wash up a bit everyone. |
We do cleanup nice, see! |
We will try to have it a bit more tidy next time you pop by. |
Do come again. |
I don't think it's just Herb & Annie, the whole neighbourhood seems a bit
disorganized. |
Not much of a roller coaster either, I think even I could stomach that
ride. |
You'll think twice when you go under that bush. |
Well then, on second thought, maybe I'd pass on their roller coaster. |
Do we line up here for the rides? |
Seems sturdy enough! |
Remind me not to try their Water Slide boat ride. |
Whole new meaning to foot fungus eh! |
Pat: before filling 1 dumpster. |
The full dumpster. |
Pat: after filling the dumpster, pretty gnarly now! |
This is how mud wrestling started. See this chap next to
me, |
You get a handful of this mud... |
Throw it at him. He'll push you. You'll slip in the mud and grab him as
you fall... |
Thanks
so much Annie and Herb. Couldn't find 2 nicer people to help out. We'll
have lots of fun memories of the event.
Hope you don't mind the teasing. You have a tough road ahead, and we would certainly come again if you need us. |
