Wishing and Waiting

In the throws of yet another snowy winter day, I look at my sad little van, hiding from the snow, and I pray for spring weather. I can't wait to be back on the road, doing what we do best, cruising the countryside. Last year was the year of the garage sale. Our bus was the ultimate garage sale weapon! We even found a roof rack for our van at a yard sale in St Albert! The couple were so ecstatic that we had pulled up in the van, they gave us the rack for free. But not before hauling out the photo album, to show us their 1970 campervan, which they had bought in Cold Lake Alberta. 4 kids, a dog and both parents drove from Edmonton south through BC and all the way down the coast to San Fransisco in 1971 as their summer vacation. You could tell by the emotion, the memories were as fresh and fond as ever!

Hurry up winter! Be over already!!!
