Winona & Shirley

I count these two ladies among my best friends, and spent a very enjoyable day with them yesterday. We went to see Tristan and Isolde at the movie theatre because we enjoy historical dramas. This one was post-Arthurian and kind of a star-crossed lovers story. It gave some insights into English history that were very interesting - did you know the Irish used to control most of England? Of course, we had to go out to eat at the Carriage House afterward, what's a movie without a dinner afterward to discuss it? Shirley isn't a Progress Club member, but always helps us out with our fundraisers and attends most of the events, so she's considered part of the Progress family.

Winona is a charter member of my club, the Calgary Eves. Winona lives in Nanton now, and is also the one who connected me to the two groups with whom I attend Stage West and Vertigo Theatre plays. There are 5 girls in one group, and up to 7 in the other. Shirley, her sister-in-law, lives here in Calgary and is the one who organizes all the tickes to these many events for us. We like to go to the local dinner theatre in High River as well where they put on some very entertaining productions for such a small theatre group. We count on Shirley to give us a call a few days beforehand to make sure we don't forget. There's a turkey dinner coming up there as well that I'll attend with Winona and Shirley. It's a fundraiser the church ladies put on, and always a big treat. In summer, we all like our impromptu "day trips" where we pack a picnic lunch, and just drive - may end up in Crowsnest Pass, or Waterton Lakes, or Kananaskis. We're thinking of maybe doing a tour of southern Alberta's ghost towns sometime this summer.

This week at work will be very busy, and I really hope to complete a lot of those projects that have been sitting in my "to do" piles for so long.
