A little bit about me and a lot about the things we do.

London, England/Three Hills, Alberta!

October is almost half over and so much has already happened this month.  At the end of last month, our hearts were crushed when we heard that Ron's cousin's wife had lost the battle to cancer.  She was only 45.  We decided that it was important for Ron to go and be with the family.  This part of the family is in England!
It was good for Ron to be there to have visits with his uncle and cousins.  Deaths are so hard and it usually brings people together that haven't seen each other in a long time. The funeral was hard but Ron saw that his cousin was surrounded by many friends and family. He was only there for a few days but he tried to make the most of his time.




While Ron was there, I worked and then went to Three Hills for the weekend.  The visit was a little overdue and so nice to see so many special people.  I stayed with Andrew and Brianne and got to spend some time with the twins.  Oh, they are so cute!
On Saturday, we walked all over town.  It was nice just being there. 
In the afternoon, I had tea with the team that travelled last year from Prairie.  It was so great seeing them and hearing about their adventures.  They are a pretty special group.

When I got back from our visit, John (the constable that Ron trained) was at Andrew and Brianne's and I got to visit with him for a bit.
That evening, Andrew and Brianne went out to a dinner and Carolyn and I babysat.  The boys were active but so good.  We managed to feed, bathe and get them to bed.  It did take two of us though.
On Sunday, I went to Mount Olive and it was so nice to be there again, especially because I got to sit with Marion and Merv Greene and their granddaughters.
After lots of hugs over the weekend, I drove towards Calgary and got to spend some time with my boy.  We did a Costco shop, had lunch and walked until it was time for me to pick Ron up at the airport.  He wasn't as tired as I expected and we had lots to talk about the whole way back to Pincher Creek.
Ron went right back to work and we were "blessed" with a little more snow.
This month so far has been about travelling near and far to see our friends and family.  I think the rest of the month will be more about staying closer to home.
Happy Thanksgiving!
