Audrey wanted me to take some pictures of her flowers in the back yard, so that Megan could see them, before fall arrives and they won't look as good.   They smell as good as they look!

I had a very busy day at work yesterday plus I took time out of my schedule  to run my mother to the hairdressers and back home again, and in the afternoon I  took  her to Helen Brown's funeral.   After work I was ready for something fun to do because it seemed like I was rushing all day.  I came home and picked up Rod, and we went out for supper and  went to the mini chuckwagon races.  It was a very nice evening.

Tonight was Leah's turn to ride the horse.  They went for a short ride down in the field and had a great time.

New Couch

Here is a picture of Audrey's new couch for Megan to see.  It looks nice but it is very uncomfortable to sit on for very long.  Her old couch was way more comfortable. 

Volkswagen Beetle

Last night Rod and I took a trip into town in our 1969 Volkswagen  Beetle.  The only problem was,  that every time we stopped the car it did not want to start again.  We shouldn't have stopped at Subway because  we ran the battery down trying to start the car and get  going again.  I walked to Steve's parents place where Steve came to our rescue.  We headed home and parked the car ending our adventure.

Rod has been training Trixie the horse.  Tonight Rod and Aidan were both riding  the horses until it started to rain outside.  If it is nice tomorrow they will go on a longer horse ride down in the field.  Trixie is turning out to be a really good horse for the kids to ride because even though she hasn't been riden very much nothing seems to excite her and she is very gentle.

Aidan has been staying with Rod and I all week while the rest of her family is away.  Yesterday, Aidan and I went to dinner with my Aunt Ruth and my cousin Colleen (Aunt Ruth's daughter) and my mother.

Class of 1971

It was my 40 year class reunion get together  today.  I wasn't going to go but then I decided about a week ago to  attend,  and see some of the people that I went to high school with.  It turned out to be really fun and we had some  really good laughs and fond memories.  I am really glad that I went.  I will post a group picture after I receive a copy because there were more that came  for the luncheon that  did not ride on the float.

It is hard to believe it has been 40 years since I graduated from high school.  My how the time flies!

Rod wanted  to go up  to the bush this afternoon,  so that he could check on his cows and calves up there,  and asked me if I wanted to come along.  We went on the quad and drove all over the place in the field where they were supposed to be,  but we didn't find them.  They were probably in the trees somewhere out of sight and where it was cool.   We never did see them but it was fun to spend the afternoon together.

Lindsey came down on Friday night to bring down Audrey's new couch.  On Saturday we  took Audrey's old couch in to the the Bargin Barn and then we drove up to Waterton.  Lindsey treated me to pizza and then we took a short walk around Linnet Lake and then drove back home.  We had an really enjoyable day. Lindsey then drove back home to Calgary.
