Tara is Home

My Birthday

We were in Calgary on my birthday.  Jeremy took us out to eat at Costa Vida.  All Jeremy's family, all Nathan's children and Erica, Austen, Lincoln and Miranda were there.  After the meal we had cake at Nathan's house.  Bentley joined us there.  It was a great birthday!

In the evening Erica and Miranda picked me up and we went to Julie's to watch "The Woman's Broadcast".

When I returned to Nathan's Bob had left for the airport.  He picked up Nathan and Tara and got back about 8:30 p.m.

Weekend in Calgary

We had a busy weekend. Friday evening Keaton had a birthday party at Laser Quest and Orson had a piping lesson.

Saturday morning we picked up for the food bank.  We had 205 houses to check out.  Most of them didn't donate, but we filled the back of the van with what we picked up.  We also went to a corn bust at Sundance Lake.  I was tired from all the walking.

Saturday night Tara's parents came and stayed over and went to church with us on Sunday.

In the late afternoon Jeremy, Edward, Jacqueline, Austen, Lincoln, and Miranda came for a visit.  Bob, Orson and Liam went to stake priesthood meeting in the evening.

A Squirrel in the Front Yard

Calgary

Lots of birds and animals in Calgary.  We see squirrels everyday and have seen rabbits today.

Yellow Leaves

Over the last couple of weeks the leaves have been turning colour and the days have been getting shorter.  I really hate for summer to end.

 

On the eighth September we went to Brooks for the interment of  Ross's ashes.  We had supper with Paulette, Donald, Diane and Joan.  On the way to Brooks we stopped and visited with Sue-anne.  

Over the two weeks we inspected twenty apartments and attended the temple twice.

Now we are in Calgary with Nathan's children while Nathan and Tara are in Japan to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary which was in August.  Bob has been busy.  He drove Nathan and Tara to he airport, took Keaton and Lochlan to and from school (Lochlan comes home for lunch so has to be picked up twice a day), drove Orson and Liam to a cross country meet on the other side of the city and took Matthias to swimming lessons.
