We had also huge floods in the South of France last week, because the snow on the mountains melted all at once this year and there was a lot of snow since it was such a cold spring.

He sounds hopeful they will be back to normal soon, As bad as it looks, I don't think they got the worst of it. Calgary is determined the Stampede will still continue. "The show must go on" since it is their biggest financial asset every year.

The hikes up in the mountains was breathtaking and skiing at Lake Louise and my favorite mountain, Sunshine!!!<br /><br />It's where my cousin Katrina and I became so close. When the stampede came to town we found ourselves working at various jobs and then with the money we made we bought new clothes for school.<br /><br />When I first heard of the floods from my husband over the phone, I rushed to put on the news and saw the devastation. It looked like a tsunami had hit Calgary. Then when they showed High River my heart sank. My very much loved cousin, Katrina lives there. I didn't know that the phone lines were down.<br /><br />Facebook at this time has become a wonderful tool for communication at a time like this. I found out the sad news that they may have lost everything. She has been fighting cancer for 11 yrs now and at this time is on chemo treatment. Nobody needs this to happen, but, what more can this girl go through?<br /><br />They are trying to go to their house but, are told not yet. Everyday that goes by the more contamination sets in. On my facebook page you can see how people are pulling together to help. It's amazing!!!!<br /><br />I just hope and pray that my cousin can return to her home and begin the long process of deciding what's the next steps. I heard from my sister that 34 friends in Calgary alone have 100% lost their homes. <br /><br />All of Albertans are in our prayers for this nightmare to be over.<br /><br />Saying all that I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!!!<br /><br />Pam<br />xox PamLuvsPinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894521704333998169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-49566504460482543402013-06-28T13:21:48.387-07:002013-06-28T13:21:48.387-07:00This is just a beautiful tribute to Canada and wha...This is just a beautiful tribute to Canada and what gorgeous pictures!!<br /><br />CynthiaCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110661139781107705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-73303855425916354412013-06-28T12:22:15.398-07:002013-06-28T12:22:15.398-07:00What a beautiful ode to Canada.
