Working on life

So much for posting tomorrow! Sorry! Between being engrossed in Harry Potter and making tons (!) of phone calls, life has been pretty busy round our house. Anyway, I do not have much time to post at all, but wanted to put a little note on here that we are looking for a vehicle and there is a good possibility that we are looking at tonight. Pray for us if you think of it - for a great vehicle that will meet all our needs as well as will be reliable and a good purchase for us.
I am still planning to get pics up of our hike on Saturday as it was gorgeous scenery and a lovely walk. IT will just have to wait awhile.
Oh, FYI - if you are a Harry Potter fan - so good. I hate how you just have to keep reading and reading once you have it and then it is over. And now with this last one, it is really over! Last time this happened to me was with the "Left Behind" series, which we have all the original series of (one is even signed! :). And then the publishers and authors decided to do the prequels - what is with that!?! Need more money or what? Don't get me started on that. Anyways, even though I am sad the series is over, I am happy that I no longer have to wait two more years for another one. :) And I won't give away any details - DH would be very upset! :) (Can you have too many smileys in a paragraph?)

I will post more tomorrow...

... but needless to say it has been an eventful weekend already.
Yesterday I was on the way to my parents with R - we were going to have supper and put R to bed there, then go on a date and go for a long hike today. Need less to say my rear-ending someone changed some plans. Yes, R and I are fine. No, we weren't going that fast - just a number of cars coming to a sudden stop and even my following at a reasonable distance and doing the speed limit resulted in an Xterra's hitch through my radiator and totally finishing off our car as it is not worth a lot (translation - old but reliable!) Anyways, I will write more on that tomorrow.
Today DH and I hiked to Ribbon Falls from Kananaskis Village area. It was about a 22 km hike - very beautiful and the falls were amazing! The spray cooled us right off and the scenery was gorgeous. We remembered the camera, so I will post a bunch of pics tomorrow. Again, making you wait. R spent today with my parents, so it will be posted on this blog. He had his own fun and went to Heritage Park - we don't have pics yet, so I cannot post for him.
The last thing that happened is that I got the last of the Harry Potter books in the mail today - I wasn't expecting it until Monday or Tuesday as I didn't pay the extra shipping to have it arrive today! So exciting. I am already 60 pages in and it is calling me - so I will post more tomorrow. :)
