It was a very full day today.  Mom and I packed up our suitcases in the morning, as we prepared to do the drive to Calgary.  Before we could leave, however, we went to the Rotary luncheon at the Best Western, as they were thanking the participants of the Garden Tour.  My mom and dad won second best garden overall, and they only lost by 4 votes... and the unfortunate part was that none of us voted on the day of the tour.  If we had, they would've been first, as we had a house full of relatives at the time.
Anyway, after the lunch - around 2pm -  mom and I headed out on the highway.  It was a good driving day... only had rain around Field and it only lasted for about 15 minutes or so.  We saw a moose and some deer, and the most magnificent full moon!  We arrived in Calgary around 11:30pm, so we made very good time.  The picture I took was when we were stopped near Salmon Arm for some road construction.  It seems they have wheat growing everywhere along the sides of the highway.  I found it strange, so took a photo.
