#22 - Walk a portion of the Trans Canada Trail that I haven't been on before

Sometimes it's just nice to get out of the city, and that's exactly what Melinda and I did on the May long weekend.

After a brief stop at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, we headed to Moose Jaw. We shopped, we ate, we walked and we rested.

We stayed at Wakamow Heights Bed & Breakfast in the Wakamow Valley. I was in 7th Heaven because everywhere I looked lilac bushes were in bloom. I stopped and smelled my fill many times. Mmm...


The Trans Canada Trail skirted the area and, unlike a failed attempt to locate any part of the trail in Lumsden last fall, this time success was on our side. Our afternoon walk led us right to it - tada!



This portion of the Trans Canada Trail was easy and enjoyable to walk. 
Everywhere we looked there were great views!


On the trail with Melinda.


Finally... Success! And much enjoyed at that!

Item #9 - Create and complete a scrapbook for one of the trips I've taken in my 30s

Well, way back in mid-April, I went to National Scrapbook Day - an annual event put on by Creative Memories consultants here in the city.

I was able to get some one-on-one time with my consultant Cindy, who helped me with my first-ever digital scrapbook. She got me and my project going and was available to help when I needed some 'tech support'. Amazingly, I was able to get most of the album together that weekend.

Then life got busier and the journaling needed to complete the album got pushed down the priority list. About a month later, I finally finished the journaling, reviewed everything, and submitted the file.

I didn't have to wait long... The album was processed the next day and was on its way back to me a day later. Within a week I had my album and I love it!


Now, what should I scrapbook next?
