Goodbye

When we returned from China and decided we needed a Canadian header for our blog,  we chose a picture we took at Lawrence Beach in Nova Scotia. Little did we know that it was a harbinger for 2011 & 2012.  We have received a call to serve in the Halifax Temple for 23 months.  From November 8th to 18th we will be received training in the MTC and Provo Temple in Provo, Utah and from there will travel to Dartmouth.

This past week-end was busy.  After attending the Family History Conference on Friday evening and Saturday morning we traveled to Hanna to the home of my brother and sister-in-law, Ross and Paulette.  My other brother and sister and their spouses, Donald & Diane and Joan and Earl, as well as my Aunt Elsie and Earl's sister, Helen, joined us there for a delicious supper.  Bob and I stayed overnight.

Ross and Paulette Say Good-bye

It was a beautiful fall day when we drove to Hanna, but on Sunday morning we drove through the fog to Calgary and attended church in the Midnapore ward with Julie and Jeremy and family.

Sunday evening at Jeremy and Julie's house we were joined by Edward and his family.  We had a good time there, but parting was very sad for me.

There was snow coming down when we left Calgary, but it quit by the time we were half way home.  Although it is bright and sunny here, the warm fall weather has ended and it is cold outside.
