The week of planting !!!

Hello All - Greetings from Smith AB it is 9:30pm and I am waiting for the bush kitchen truck to pull into town - they appear to have gotten lost. We are setting up our final camp of the season and there should only be about 6 more days of planting remaining. It has been a full and busy season - I have loved the challenge of the job and all the different people that I get to interact with, and areas that I get to see. In the last few weeks I have visited the outlying areas of those famous Alberta tree planting towns of Foxcreek, Whitecourt, Swan Hills, Slave Lake, Wabasca, and now Smith.
Through these last weeks Tina and I have mostly been apart which is hard. However, she was able to make it out to stay in camp with me for 1 week and I was able to get home for a couple weekends one of which was a sneak trip... I got her good and if you know Tina you know that she loves surprises. If you want the details you will have to ask her all I can say is that there was a hunt, there where daisies, and there was some great smiles.
