"Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?"

Buck, CSG & RKZ on the beginning of our walk.
The entrance to Griffith Woods Park - the park down the road from our new home.
Small tributaries of the Elbow River flow through the Griffith Woods park
Sorta' scary sign at the beginning of the trail. Probably won't walk here alone too often.
Another view of the tributaries. A different part of the walk
This sign explains that Griffith Woods Park is on the boundary of Tsuu T'ina First Nation land. I guess that the Tsuu T'ina used to be known as the Sarcee Indians. Either way, this sign says it might be dangerous to cross over that fence :) (insert politically incorrect joke here).
Even in a beautiful park, people still need power.

Had to use this song as the title. Currently watching the Defending Champion Pitsburgh Steelers play the Miami Dolphins (always think of Jim Carrey when watching the Dolphins). Buck is asleep - RKZ is mesmerized. It's football season again, even in Canada. RKZ's great passion (after myself, of course) -- the Denver Broncos. They play on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals, in case you are setting your schedule :)

We had a great walk with CSG through Griffith Park. This park is a one minute drive from our new house. We had a great time. It's incredible to think that all of this beautiful space is so close to us.

Lastly, I want to share some info I received fom a good friend formerly known as "Moxie Manitoba Momma" whose name has now been changed to "Inukshuk" because she is such a good friend that she did some research for me without my even asking! Please read Inukshuk's info on the previously mentioned "stone figures" (I miss you so much, Inuk!):

Just a little side note, and FYI, the little stone figures are called "Inukshuks" Just a small description taken off the internet.......It is an Inuit word that literally translated means "Stone man that points the way." They can be found throughout Northern Canada from Baffin Island to Victoria. The purpose of the Inukshuk was to show direction and guide the way. The Inukshuk has been adopted today as a symbol to remind us of our dependance on each other and the value of strong relationships. I find it interesting that you saw so many along the way. They are kinda neat, aren't they?!

Inuk goes on to mention some funny things about the "penis head" statues, but I'm not sure she'd be happy with me if I quote it here...totally funny. The statues are definitely feather, then (as opposed to dot).


Tomorrow's plan is a little time downtown in the cool walking districts of Calgary! Or we might just join a gym. The world is our oyster!
