We have decided to take the plunge and try to film our own virtual tours of River Wynde and River Lee.
After a few hours of deleted scenes and quite a bit of swearing while learning how to edit- here are our first three projects!
The Living Room at River Wynde
The Summer Suite at River Lee
The Forest Room at River Wynde
Quite a learning curve....yikes!
See you soon,

Happy New Year
Just did a lunch for some ladies from Tourism Calgary- thanks for coming, ladies.....and served this great dip with a veg tray! Watercress is in short supply in Calgary so I used Italian parsley and just blended everything-no chopping!
Green Goddess Dip
2 cups trimmed watercress sprigs
½ cup fresh basil leaves
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
½ teaspoon grated lemon peel
½ cup mayo
½ cup sour cream
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 anchovy fillets- I substituted anchovy/ olive paste here and used a teaspoon for a double order
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove-peeled
Put last seven ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until mixed. Add all herbs and blend until well mixed. Add pepper to taste. Chill covered in fridge for two hours to develop flavor. Serve with vegetables and chips for dipping.

Spring comes to Calgary!!
Where else would you park your bike?New Neighbourhood Shots!
Many thanks to the Junior Photographer who accompanied me...thanks for the inspiration, Rayna!
This is the Stream of Dreams at Sunnyside School- they are celebrating 90 years of education.....whew!
There are some very creative people in this neighbourhood......this is a new use for a topped cottonwood tree...a treetop sculpture garden!
What to do with those broken garden tools.......
Cinnamon Buns
Oven 350 degrees
Prep time 15 minutes
Rise time: at least 8 hours
16- 20 frozen bread rolls
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1/4 cup of instant vanilla pudding powder
1/2 cup of melted butter
1-3 teaspoons of cinnamon
dash of cloves or allspice
1/2 cup of raisins or walnuts or pecans or chopped dried figs- use your imagination
Heavily grease bundt pan and evenly distribute frozen rolls around pan.
Sprinkle with brown sugar mixed with pudding powder(dry), spices and dried fruit or nuts or both.
Pour melted butter over all.
Cover with dry cloth and let rise in a warm area overnight (at least 8 hours)
Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown- about 20 - 25 minutes (time will vary depending how many rolls you use)
Carefully unmold onto large plate- sugar is very hot!
You can ice this with 2 cups icing sugar mixed with 1/4 cup of butterscotch pudding powder and about 3 tablespoons of milk or cream- this will be very thick but will melt all over the hot rolls. I use this as a morning birthday cake for guests!
Enjoy the warm weather- we'll see you soon!

You need how many dressing rooms?
