Trick or Treat

I do believe that summer is just not quite ready to leave with a temperature of 20, so this was a day to enjoy. I am told it is going to be short lived, but we'll take more of today anytime.
It was a perfect day to dig out the Xmas lights an hang them on the balcony. Even if its only the rabbits, deer, and coyotes that see them from outside we get to view them from the living

room, so yes Cal did a good job. Oh course Hallowe'en is still to come, and our complex has bought the treats, have them bagged for the "trick or treater's" and will now wait to enjoy seeing all the costumes that the mom's & dad's have created.

On The Road Again

Yes this week we traveled to Minot ND on Tuesday, with the prime mission to attend the Norsk Hostfest. As usual we met up with Gordon and Mildred at the Fairgrounds where they park their Motor Home along with thousands of others. Of course from there we made our way to the Royal Fork, which is always enjoyable. Then Wednesday and Thursday is two full day for us from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM were we enjoy alot of good entertainment but that time frame does not allow one to see it all by any means.

Due to shortage of Motel Rooms, that are pre-reserved for Tour Buses, we stay in a private home that was arranged for us four years ago, and we have stayed with them each year since then, and they assured us the room would be there for us another year. They have been an excellent "host family" so we have appreciated Hostfest Central for selecting them for us. After taking in two days of WCC Lectureship in Regina last week end and away to Minot, that will be our October get away, but we'll have to wait and see what November brings.

Happy Thanksgiving

In a few days we will be having our Canadian Thanksgiving. We are privileged to live in a country that has plenty of bounty that we enjoy not only at thanksgiving but all year.

The fall colours provide many decorations that are used as a reminder of Thanksgiving

I had a general reminder today that I should really update my blog, and yes I did agree that may be a good idea, but I was surprised when I checked and the last posting was September 12th. So yes I need to do a bit of updating, although by checking the other family blogs you will find lots of updates especially of Chloe.

Speaking of Chloe we had her all to ourselves this afternoon while her Mom was at another appointment.

She is certainly getting her own personality, and does she love her veggies always ready for the next bite, and puts on a little show while waiting. She is very entertaining.

This week end we plan to attend Western Christian College Lectureship in Regina, then the following Tuesday we are off to Minot for our annual "time away" for Norsk hostfest. Both of these events are enjoyable to us, but each in their own way of course, and we look forward each fall to attending.
