Calgary, Airdrie, Banff and Lake Louise

Thursday afternoon we drove up to Calgary.  Bob stayed at Nathan
 and Tara's house and I went to Airdrie to watch Lincoln play volleyball.  Lincoln did well and his team won.

Friday morning Bob, Nathan and Tara went to the temple and I stayed with Matthi. 

Later in the afternoon we headed for Banff to attend the J. Reuben Clark Law Society Alberta Branch conference.  We stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel and attended a delicious banquet in the evening. We listened to the keynote speaker.

Saturday morning there were more speakers, but I listened only to one before I went to watch Keaton, Lochlan and Matthi swimming the hotel pool.  In the afternoon we drove to Lake Louise.

  We drove back to Calgary in the late afternoon.

Today we went to church and listened to wonderful talks by Lochlan and Keaton.

Calgary and The Foothills Hospital

On Tuesday Bob and I drove to Jeremy and Julie's house in Calgary.  Early the next morning we drove across Calgary to the Foothills hospital where I had an angiogram.  The good news is that I don't have blocked arteries. So what is causing my heart problem?

We were there all day and didn't get back to Jeremy's house until evening.  Nathan and boys and Edward and Jacqueline came to Jeremy's for a visit. Next day we drove back to Lethbridge.  I had an appointment with the oral surgeon on Friday morning.

Edward and Jeremy came and stayed overnight.  This morning they left to go pheasant hunting.

Then and Now

The weather was beautiful the end of September.

Our tomatoes didn't freeze until the night of October 9th.  We woke up on Thanksgiving day to snow.

We had a great thanksgiving.  Nathan and Tara and boys arrived Sunday evening and on Monday Tara cooked Thanksgiving dinner for us.  Jeremy, Julie, Kennedy, Mickey, Sue-anne, Taylor, Langley and Carter joined us.

It's Autumn

After church we left Lehi and drove north, stopping overnight in Dillon.  We got home Monday and attended our Family Home Evening.  We did Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching during the week.  Sue-anne and Carter dropped in on  Friday.

Friday evening Edward, Jacqueline, Lincoln, Miranda and Nathan arrived.  Saturday morning we went to Cardston and met Sue-anne, Jeremy and Joan and then did temple ordinances for Ross.  After the Temple we went to Dairy Queen.

We came back to Lethbridge and met Julie, McKinley, Austen, Lincoln and Miranda and then Edward, Jeremy and Nathan took us out to dinner to celebrate my upcoming birthday.  It was a good day.

Grandparents day at River Rock School

Last Tuesday we left Austen alone in Lethbridge and we set out for Lehi.  We stayed overnight in Blackfoot, Idaho and on Wednesday morning drove to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  Later that afternoon we drove to Lehi.

Thursday evening Chloe invited me to attend Standards Night where we listened to Janice Kapp Perry talk and sang some of the songs she had written.

Friday morning we walked over to Owens school and spent some time in his classroom and ate lunch in the cafeteria with him.

Can It Really Be September?

On the Thursday after our return from Echo, I went up to Calgary.  I attended the Calgary Highland Games with Nathan and family and saw Orson and Liam in their last competition.  Keaton also competed in the chanter category.  It was a long day.  We left Nathan's house at 7:30 a.m. and arrived back at 6:00 p.m.

Sunday after church we took Nathan and Orson to the airport for a flight to Ontario.  Orson will be attending the University of Waterloo taking Software engineering.  His dad went along to get him settled in residence.  I hope they are enjoying the 30 degree weather there (feels like 40 degrees apparently) - much different than the cool 19 degrees we are experiencing.

I drove back to Lethbridge late Sunday afternoon.  Unbeknownst to me Edward and family had been in Lethbridge most of the time I was away.  They came to get Austen settled in as he is living at our house now and attending the University of Lethbridge.

Everyone except Austen left either Saturday or Monday.
