toot toot

We got to go on the Alberta Steam Train out of Stettler this weekend. It was a BP social club event. Went to Stettler on Saturday, took the train to Big Valley, had a roast beef supper there and took the train back to Stettler where we stayed overnight. It was fun. It was a mystey train tour, so there were actors on the train setting up the mystery, and after supper they finished up the play and we had to be detectives and try to figure out who committed the murders. The train part was the best, it was just such a nice day.
Got home yesterday and finished some yard work. Fall is certainly here and it has been so cold that it feels as if winter is just around the corner. So I get anxious that everything won't get done. The house painting is pretty well done so that's one thing out of the way.
Grace said Anne called while we were away, we were sorry to have missed that. I have to get the time difference in my head again.

sounds like a real fun weekend on the steam train - have always meant to do the Summerland one, but never did. Was glad to hear Anne is settling in - humidity and all.

It's pretty fallish here too - have been having quite a bit of rain - much needed but a nuisance when one is trying to do fall yard work. Been pruning shrubs - they really grew a lot this year, so have piles of clippings. This week looks good but its raining right now.
Talked to Jim and he is coming for a week at thanksgiving and planning on doing the compost chores.
Made my reservation for GP at xmas, it costs about the same as going to Birmingham in the off season but am looking forward to a nice vissit with Laura and all.
