We are in the mountains.
Banff.
We have been coming here for 32 years and, though our timeshare is getting a bit shabby, it’s home.
The weather has been nothing short of glorious. I can’t remember a time when the leaves have simply been falling without first being frozen. Golden. Orange. Some red. Leaving a marvelous carpet that smells of…Autumn.
This trip was a gift from my youngest daughter and my Husby for my birthday.
Makes getting a year older so much more palatable.
The apartment is on two levels. Two bedrooms up, two bathrooms, one up and one down, and a living room and a kitchen, down. Small, but comfortable.
Enough background…
This morning, we had finished our swim and Gramma was in the shower. Erm…showering.
I had remembered underwear, but had forgotten clothing.
Which was sitting in a neat pile on my bed.
Upstairs.
Oops.
Granddaughter #6, ten-years-old and Granddaughter #11, three-years-old, were playing in the front room just outside the downstairs bathroom where I was ablute-ing (is that a word?)
I poked my head out the door and said, “Gramma forgot her clothes, so I’m going to run upstairs in my underwear. No one look.”
There was silence in the front room. Which I took to be consent. (Silence means consent, doesn’t it?)
I dashed toward the stairway.
Just then a little three-year-old voice came from the front room. “Gramma. I looked.”
Well, at least she’s honest.
Well, I tried to get a picture... |
My dream is to go to Banff! We were set to leave two weeks after the world shut down in 2020 but we're planning again which is a good sign. I have told my husband we need our own camper and then I'll go so we're looking. We will be visiting Canada for the first time next summer coming up through Michigan over to Niagara Falls and really looking forward to that as well.
ReplyDeleteWe thought of going to Banff back in 1996 and never did that year or any other year. Now that Canada is opening itself up to make it much easier for Americans to visit, I'd better start making a list for a grand (maybe) Canadian vacation. But it wouldn't be at leaf time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure looking was hard to resist! Banff sounds wonderful. Hope you have a wonderful time...Laurie
ReplyDeleteYou weren't completely naked, so I don't see a problem. And you could have wrapped a towel around yourself.
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering about a towel, or getting the older granddaughter to run up and bring the clothes down. Anyway, you can count on a 3-year-old to always be too curious to look away. At least they are consistent.
