Cougars Climbing

Okay...at one point we were cougars! haha!

I guess I missed posting last week....ummmm...We had a BBQ at Ryan's, did lots of climbing at Acephale and...Oh!...My cousin had her baby (3 weeks early!! but both mom and baby are doing great!!) - I'll get a picture of Malcolm on soon - he's adorable!!

Okay, this week. I'm still doing tons of house/plant/puppy/kitty sitting. It seems I have no less than 2 jobs going on at a time. Rather hectic and I think I'm nearning the end of all this "sitting". It was wonderful when I had no fixed address and was single...I miss my house now (and it's going to be another 6 weeks before I'm in it again!) and I miss Ryan too (not that I don't see him a lot, but I certainly feel that I miss out on lots having to tend to the pets). So I will finish the jobs I've booked to the end of the year and then it will be time to move on. Any one interested in "sitting" next year...I have a few people who would appreciate it!!

It was the long weekend and I certainly did not get much of one. My turn to work this weekend...so Saturday I worked in the morning, ran around to feed cats, water plants and walk dogs and then met up with Dave for a walk in Fish Creek. Sad but true - it was the first time I'd ever walked there. I think I got too much sun though and was pretty much done for the rest of the day!

Sunday I met up with Ryan and Chandra and we headed out to Cougar Creek to initiate Chandra's new rope and draws!! It's absolutely beautiful at Cougar...a few photos...

It's the back ground I'm going for here!
Chandra climbing...check out what the belayer has to stand on!
Almost at the top of Critical Mass - very fun climb!
I don't remember the name of the climb - it was a 5/7 - it was the initiation climb for the new rope and draws!!
It was a great day...weather was beautiful and hot (although you're not supposed to do it...I did rather appreciate Chandra lowering me into the river after my climb!), lots of laughs (as there always are) and great company!
Sunday, lucky me got to work again! Not that bad I guess...I was done by 10 am. Again, fed the cat, walked the dog, moved to the next house sitting job! I went out to High River for dinner at dad's and to see Michelle and Dave's new place (that's right, had the baby on a Friday and started moving into their new house on the Tuesday) and to meet Malcolm. Dinner was fantastic...Ryan made it out in time to eat as well and meet more of the family. I think the highlite for him was dad's raspberry bush in the back yard!
This week is a pretty normal one...but I'm looking forward to the weekend. My friends Wero and John are coming in from NY for a visit. Very excited for that!
