Well, today we loaded ourselves back into Norman and set out
for the other side of the country. And
we had only just returned home from a family reunion in Falkland, BC, over the
weekend. We spent two nights in my
cousin’s field, along with several other RV’s and many, many Deslauriers family
members. It was a great weekend and put
us back in our own beds for one more night in the wee hours of Monday morning. 
So, in the later hours of Monday morning, loaded back into
Norman (sans Moony), we started our drive to Newfoundland. Big thanks to our friends the Ravens who supplied us with our sign and some celebration inspiration! This day’s drive was broken up with the first
of nine marathons: Brenda started the 42
km run from the Continental Divide; this will be the Alberta marathon. Emily joined her for the first ten km; Maddy
joined Brenda for the final ten km.
This
landed us in Banff for supper and few memento pictures. Brenda has started a fundraising campaign called Hope Continues. If you would like to read about it or contribute, visit her Cancer Society personal fundraising page.
And then we drove, finally landing in Edmonton after
midnight. A short visit with cousin
Danny and Blaine, and then it was lights out on day one.
