Mar. 7th, 2009 03:30 pmI have been sick for a week now. I really want this cold to end. By Wednesday night, I knew that I would not be recovered by Thursday, so I cancelled my hotel reservation for Thursday night. I had planned to go to Red Deer on Thursday to attend a fruit and vegetable conference called "Berry and Vegetable School."
By sheer coincidence, we had a freak snowstorm and I couldn't have driven to the conference anyway. By Friday, I was a bit stir crazy and I decided to drive down to the conference for the day. I was very happy that I did. I ended up attending four sessions and met a lot of great growers from all over the province.
That night, I drove back and got into town just in time to hang out with two former coworker/friends who are visiting from Grande Prairie. One of them had planned to stay with me, but they're now staying in a hotel about four blocks away. This actually worked out well, as it allows them to be in my 'hood, but I can still manage to catch up on my sleep, which seems to be imperative.
We enjoyed a late dinner at a new Persian restaurant that opened down the street. It's the only Persian restaurant in town and has been getting a lot of good reviews. The food was good, and affordable and the service was excellent. I want to go back and try their Persian tea.
