So today, I was traipsing around Middle of Nowhere, The Sticks, Alberta. I'm pretty sure that was the address. You should send me a letter. My parents and I left the Fort at like 9am to go to some crappy auction sale on Green Grove Road, wherever the hell that is. Somewhere east of Camrose, anyway. And being as it was a waste of time, we continued on our merry way to Aunty Laurie and Uncle Roger's farm (just outside of Rosalind, if for some unknown and unexplainable reason you know where that is).
Aunty Laurie fed us a grand lunch and then we all five of us went to beautiful downtown Donelda (my god, do the hick towns never end?) to go to the antique stores. At one of which my daddy bought an old 78 record player. What a piece of junk. However, I got to see a player piano in action, which was in very good shape. And then back to the farm again (after touring the countryside, of course) to pick up a box and then on to some dairy farm a mile down the road.
I love the smell of the farm, odd as that may seem. We went into one of the milk barns and the guy gave us a family of cats; a momma and four kittens. Which we had a hell of a time stuffing into the box. Oh, the kittens went in no problem as they were too little to put up any protest, but that momma kitty did NOT want to be in the box. But we ductaped and baleing twined her in anyway. Farmer's best friend, those two articles lol.
And then back to the farm for drinks and then home. Where we set up the kitties in the dog crate with some hay and rags and milk. Quite comfortable, if I do say so myself.
And that was my day. FINALLY, I got out of my house.
