Arrived at Turtle River to camp
just in time for snacks!  :)

This just cracked us up!
The girls thought the action at the campsite
behind us was more interesting than in ours!  :)

Suzanne & I biked to golf course for coffee this afternoon ...
and had to walk our bikes a little on return trip due to
some change in wind direction and speed :(

A little fire time before supper ...

Today was a Troy day ...
played Zorb in the afternoon, which was
very entertaining to watch.  Recently purchased
a bow and has been getting in some practice.

We made a last-minute decision this morning to
head out to Pembina Valley Park to see how
advanced the fall colors were by now.  Definitely need
to come back in about a week or so.  Still lots of green foliage.
A perfect weather day to be out hiking!  :)
Finishing up our outing with yoga ...
aaaahhhhhhh   :)

Conrad thought we should
probably dig up at least some
of our potato plants before
the big rain came ... not the
greatest crop we've had for sure! 











                         

                   Ravae & Cheyenne were

                    very excited to show off

                      their new roooms!

Seeing all the golden leaves
on the lawn, I just had to get my chair
out there!  It's just waiting for some
people to sit on it in the fall colors!  :)




   

         The Further Adventures 

         of the 'Kind of Retired 

          and the Restless' 





   And!  A bonus!  Got a

     subject into my chair today

       yet afterall!  Thanks Sam!

Was capturing this more for interest than
creativity ... and then noticed that my date is
wrong (again!) on my vehicle display!
Oh well, the point is, on a drive this afternoon (the 12th),
happened to glance at the display and saw the temp!
Yikes!  Glad the humidity is so low at least!

Supper in the gazebo, on my new/old retro MCC table find ...
and other than the chicken, grown in our garden!  Delicious!  :)

My Aunt Anne sat down and
played the old piano in the Friesen Housebarn
a bit while we were visiting this morning :)

I love that my grandkids love
to swing just as much as I always did!

Another fabulous day of fishing!
