11-07-26 The Homefront
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to sleep till 3 AM and was awake by 9:30 but it was a beautiful fall day so I decided to head out to Fort Steele. I was very impressed with the decor around the whole site for the homefront event, which is new this year in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Legion.
The music playing from the band Shell speakers just added a special touch
I had a great visit with Len in the tin shop and it appears he is very happy to tinker on the jeep and make it roadworthy for next season. I have approved with the site manager for Len to be the person who could drive the jeep around and give people rides or show it off as they feel would be appropriate. When I was in the museum talking to the reserve, they said they had all jumped in the Jeep and taking pictures together, which made my heart happy.
I came home for a little bit and then joined Monica and Galen for a concert at Key City Theatre. The opening act, Frase, was from Ymir and he got the crowd on their feet. The rest of the evening was a period of people dancing, and enjoying Moontricks from Nelson. They are pretty much techno folk. It’s not necessarily my job, but I enjoyed people watching and they are very good at what they do.
It was lovely to hang out with Kristen and Wayne as well
Afterwards, Monica and I went back to her place and had a great visit but I had to take my leave as she has to drive Galen to the airport at 4:45 AM! She has driving anxiety due to previous accidents, so I promised her that if she phoned me, I would come to the airport and pick her up and we would go back for her car in the daylight. Honestly, I hope that is not necessary, but she is a good friend and I would do that for her.
