Weekend Visit

After our day trip spent out with Sharon and Arturo, we all headed back to our cottage for the evening.  We had a big barbecue together and sat up visiting and having a few drinks in the evening.  The next morning we had yet another leisurely breakfast together.  Eventually we set out for the day and went exploring around the Nordegg area.  Margarit ended up heading back to the city in the afternoon as she needed to be around to get the girls back to school on Monday.  I stayed an extra day, and Sharon and Arturo stayed at their rented cabin as well.  On Monday morning Sharon and Arturo checked out of their rented cottage and came over to have coffee with me.  Afterwards we headed into town and explored for a couple of hours at the old historic cemetery.  That was quite enjoyable and I am always fascinated by the history of the early settlement of the area.  Arturo is one of the Guild members that is taking part in the Historic Coal Project that I am involved in.  Some of the photographs that we took this weekend will likely end up being part of that project.  After we finished up shooting at the cemetery, Sharon and Arturo hit the road for home.  I headed back to the cottage to clean up and pack a few things before hitting the road myself at around 5:00.  All in all it was a very nice weekend and Margarit and I very much enjoyed spending an extended period of time with Sharon and Arturo.  The weather was not fantastic with overcast skies and cool temperatures, but it really didn't rain to speak of, and there was ample opportunity for exploring and photography.
