APU TOUR - Day 26

Some photos removed as per request

It has been a whirlwind of a month filled with speaking engagements, meetings, and fundraisers, with the occasional bit of recreation and pure fun thrown in!  Everywhere we go the energy of APU supporters helps to motivate us and the growing momentum of support for our GIRLS ON THE MOVE is evident in the number of people who  are eager to share their ideas, support, and energy as well as pledging their support in the form of sponsorships for our girls, and funding for construction.

It is snowing outside today and I am personally very pleased that Henry is finally learning about a real Alberta winter after such unseasonably warm weather. Today is a much needed day off and Henry is spending the day learning to snowshoe and ski at Castle Mountain in Pincher Creek.  It hasn't taken him long to figure out which button to press to turn on the seat warmer and is racing me for the front seat in any vehicle that might have one.  We are both feeling a wee bit sluggish after too many hours riding in cars on the way to make various presentations and too many rich meals at Rotary meetings, but we certainly can't complain!
