Porte Ponderings:

Yes, I once danced with Chubby Checker. I was at Busch Gardens with my friend Kathy Collins. We sat in the front row and we got up and danced with Chubby Checker. He was amazing. I loved going to the Real Music Series with my Season Pass to Busch Gardens in Tampa. So glad I did this.

“You can’t see the world
through a mirror”

~ Avril Lavigne
Singer and songwriter
Born on: 27th September 1984

Porte Ponderings:

The afternoon of our last day in Calgary, we met with Harold’s friend Cal. Cal had been an usher at Harold’s first wedding. Cal took us for a pickup ride to the Provincial Park near Carseland AB, Wyndham-Carsleland Provincial Park.

The size of the area was overwhelming. Thousands of seagulls, but none were close enough to ID.
