You haven't lived until you've gone camping in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Alberta.
My husband and I were visiting the Nelson/Balfour area for the first time in our 1970-something Boler travel trailer. On arrival at the campsite, we were assigned a lakefront spot and when we parked, we were the only people there; however, as we set up camp, neighbours arrived to the left and to the right of us. Once we had set up camp, we decided to take a drive to Balfour and as we were pulling out of our campsite, I looked back at our trailer and this picture is what I saw. The difference in size between us and our neighbors really tickled our funny bones. We've now graduated to a 28' fifth wheel but we still talk about our little Boler, how much fun we had in it and how simple life was back then.
"Why we were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we had a chance to go out among the artisan community and meet with - in my opinion - some of the nicest people God ever placed on this earth. Everyone in this little town was just so nice to talk to. Yes ma'am, have a great day, sugar and sweet heart, darlin, and just the brightest smiles on their faces. And the barbecue everywhere we went was hard to pass up - most of the time we didn't. Needless to say we were stuffed like two pigs at a country fair. Once in awhile we ducked into a restaurant and took advantage of the salad bar. I'm so lucky to have had those moments with my mom and look forward to making more. I'm very excited that I ran across this contest. So I'll sit here with fingers crossed and wait for the day when you call me or email with the results. I look forward to hearing my name called so I and maybe even my siblings may continue to have everlasting moments with our mom. She's really one in 20 million."
