Snow Yesterday

Another week has gone by.  We had a lot of lovely warm weather.  Wednesday we went to the Temple.  In the evening I did some visiting teaching.

Thursday morning Sue-anne and Carter came by.  Carter had been  to the dentist and they were supposed to do some shopping and stay until Carter's football game in the evening.  Unfortunately Carter was sick and they went back to Taber. Our home teachers visited us in the evening.

Friday the missionaries came for supper. 

Saturday was a good day.  Carter came to visit in the morning and Bob picked up Langley at 11:30 after a basketball clinic at Gilbert Patterson School.  Langley and I worked on her family history booklet for Young Womens.  After Sue-anne picked up Carter and Langley I watched Skate Canada and then went to Stake Conference.

Carter enjoyed spending time up on the closet while his mother wasn't here.

Sunday was stake conference.  Bob had to be there at 9:00 a.m. so I went early as well.  Just as we were leaving the house it started to rain and by the time the session was over it was snowing.  The snow stopped sometime during the night and it is still on the ground because of the freezing temperature.

Autumn in Lethbridge

We had a fairly quiet week after everyone left on Monday.  We did go out to the genealogical meeting on Thursday evening.  On Friday my sister came in for a visit.  Today Ross and Paulette invited us out to breakfast at the Firestone.  They were coming back from spending Thanksgiving on Vancouver Island and stayed at the Coast Hotel here in Lethbridge.  They can no longer stay with us because Ross cannot get up and down stairs and needs a handicapped shower.

We have had rainy weather and sunny skies - cool weather and warm weather - along with some wind.  Today is a warm day.

It will soon be time to rake the leaves.

Thanksgiving Weekend 2013

After arriving home last Tuesday we had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to get ready for Thanksgiving.  Nathan and family arrived late Friday evening.  We had Nathan, Edward and Sue-anne and families here for Saturday supper. Courtney was back from Edmonton for the week-end.  Instead of turkey, we had roast beef to the disappointment of some of the family but we did have pumpkin pie..

Monday Jeremy and family arrived.  We went out for lunch at Dono's (a Japanese restaurant) with Jeremy & Nathan's families and then to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

We have seen all our children and nineteen of our twenty grandchildren in the last eight days.  It was wonderful to spend time with them all.

Busy Baines Household

We spent all last week with Darwin, Amber and family.  Everyone was busy, busy:  work, ball room dancing, dancing lessons, piano lessons, Relief Society, etc.

All three children had parts on the Primary Presentation and Caden and Chloe were in a piano recital.

Darwin and Bob went out canvassing for the Boy Scouts.

Bob and I went to the Nova Scotia Mission reunion and enjoyed seeing some of the Senior Couples that we knew and many of the young Elders and Sisters.

The Foley's were the Office Couple most of the time we were in Nova Scotia

Snow on the Mountains showing above the Clouds

The week went by quickly and Monday morning we left about 9:00 a.m. after the rush hour traffic and drove to Helena that day.  The trees were starting to change colour.

This morning we drove home from Helena.  Between Helen and Great Falls there were many trees that had turned yellow and with the sun shining on them they made a beautiful scene.

We arrived home about 1:30 p.m. and received good news in that the cat scan that Bob had the day we left Lethbridge showed there was  no sign of a stroke.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Last evening Darwin, Bob and I attended the Oquirrh Mountin Temple.
