Clouds and Andre'e-Anne

Well I can't believe that the summer is almost gone. It has been weeks since I added anything on my blog. Mostly because I have been busy, and then subject matter was another concern. At the beginning of July, we got quite alot of rain...but the thing I seemed to be pretty intrigued with were the clouds. So over a couple of those weeks, I took some pictures of them.




The first one was taken from my back yard. Almost looks like a mushroom cap, and there was what appeared to be alot of hail. The other one looks like giant toes.



This last one was taken from Cardston at a family reunion of sorts. This was the storm that pretty much destroyed the corn crops. I have seen pictures of Hurricane Katrina and how beautiful the clouds are, but the aftermath was total devastation.

Now, Andre'e-Anne.. my exchange student from Quebec. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive taking an exchange student for 6 weeks, thanks to my daughter Tami and her colleague, Trafton, but I was genuinely surprized at how well things worked out. As I didn't know how to say her name properly, we called her Andi. She did volunteer work at the Y camps here in the city. Here is a picture of her on the family weekend (August long weekend). We went to Fort Macleod and visited the fort, which I hadn't been to in about 40 years... yes I am dating myself.

This is Andi beside the buffies. The six weeks went by very quickly. Before you know it, it was the day she was leaving. My 'so long' picture. Kevin, Andi and Emilie.
