Hi everybody! I just got home from the most beautiful FAIRYTALE WEDDING at the classiest place in the city! it was so much fun!

This is the icing on the cake to come home to all of your wonderful comments! I am trying to catch up on galleries as I owe you all a visit. I am not going to post tonight in hopes I can make a dent.

Thank you all for your fantastic support and for all that you said.

Maybe one day I will start a tour company in the Rockies and call it "ALBERTA ROSE TOURS" ... Big white Jumbo Bulge Vans with PINK WILD ROSES on the SIDES ad cool murals! You can all be my passengers. Okay???

ALL ABOARD!!!

John Connolly September 21, 2009

WOW! What an amazing scene Laura! I would experiance extreme lack of concentration driving through such magnificient countryside! #7967961

Laura E. Swan September 21, 2009

Well, John, then you don't have to do any driving at all!!! LOOK ABOVE THIS COMMENT by about 8 and SEE THE NEW BUS!!!

You can just be a passenger on the ALBERTA ROSE Tour Bus along with Sister Kiki, Ron, Cassie, Brother Rolan Mr. Tree and Mumj and anyone else here that wants to go!!! You can GAWK out of the windows as much as you'd like to!!!

BTW-The driver will have BLINDERS on. Of course, Miss Rose (me) will be your tour guide!!! :)

Seriously however, in a different life, I think I would like to do that for a living. In this one, I am just enjoying being the tourist!!!

Thanks all of you for your fun and wonderful comments!

Denny E. Barnes September 21, 2009

Hey, Laura. I could be the buss driver if you don't make me wear blinders. We won't get anywhere very fast because of all the gawking I'll be doing and the very,very slow speed I'll be driving but everyone will have plenty of time for photo and sightseeing..hehe..
Great image of your Canada, Laura!! Beautiful capture of the look and color of the way it is!! Gorgeous!!! #7969015

Great title - Canadian Curves!!

SMILING WITH YOU #7972977

Laura E. Swan September 22, 2009

Well...I can talk to the boss about removing the blinders so you can "see it all" and offer photo ops, Denny and Chris, while you guys drive and co-drive...but for now these are the "uniform" hats you are assigned to wear if you are the driver/s!!!

:) !!! COME SEE !!!

I hope the "blinders" hats will be okay for you guys for now!
