halloween train and skating

October 10 Monday 2014
The Halloween train was the highlight of the week, even the weather held out. Sunday we went to the Burnaby art show then in at 7 Carter had skating practise. It is fun watching them all stumble over their feet then watch the puck go between their legs.

thanks giving over

October 22 Wednesday 2014
Time to update Thanksgiving went well. First time in a long time I cook the turkey. Hudson said I hadn't lost my touch. Another first Carter stays over night without Madison as she had a very early swimming completion. She can first in the back stroke event. Carter had skating in the afternoon so Madison stayed with me so she could have a nap (didn't happen) so we went to the park instead. Laurn and Vi our neibours from Ebert street in Coquitlam meet with Hudson and Dina at the Olive Garden in Langley for lunch before we all headed South.( Nov. 10 or 11)?????I have my art class here Wednesday as our host is in the hospital. Dinner at George and Betty's tonight. Friday Carter and Madison do not have school so we will take them on the Halloween train ride in Bear Creek park . In the evening we will have some of the neibours here for a get together before we head South.

fort Langley

October 12 Sunday 2014
I had a great Saturday, Bill went to the boat. Karen (my neighbour) and I went to Fort Langley and their cranberry festival. We stopped at an old farm- cattle cafe on the way and watched cranberries being harvested . Sunday I did something I haven't done in a long time- Bill and I watched a movie- Indianna Jones and the temple of dome. A lot of bizarre scenes.

putting boat in mothballs

Oct 9 Thursday 2014
time to report again. The weeks are sure going fast. We meet with our Edmonton friends at the cruise terminal as they are going on a 38 day South American cruise (wish it was me).I decorate the twin room and entrance with Halloween ghost, bats and spiders. Today we go to the boat and fuel up for the winter. $800 for diesel for the year. Bill put a tarp up behind the boat all set for winter. I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner next Monday. Sherri Gerry, Carter , Madison Hudson and Dina are all coming too.
