A quiet Sunday

Geoff tells me it is okay to have a day where you don't do anything. We didn't even go to church today He was feeling unwell and I just stayed home.

It has been a bit busy around here, at least busier than I have been used to lately. I have been cleaning up the yard for winter. It is nice to be able to take my time with it and do all the things I want to do. There is always something unfinished when the snow starts but there will be less this year.

Geoff has been clearing out the garage, a mammoth task that he is doing a bit at a time. He is making progress, even getting rid of a few things.

The three of us went into Red Deer last week to have supper with my friend Linda. We have been friends for almost 50 years. She became a grandma lately and all in all seems to be doing well.

Dick and Jo stopped in for a couple of nights last week. They were taking some things of John's to Heather (including his ashes) and doing some visiting as they couldn't get away all summer. Jo has a couple of kids in Alberta. We had a good visit with them

Anne and Del got the keys to their house on Friday so I guess they will be busy packing. I think they have to be out of the apartment on the 15th so they have a couple of weeks to move.

Tim and Courtney sold their house. After they realized their renovation plans would cost too much they decided they would move, put the house up for sale and the first person who looked at it bought it. They had found a house they really liked so put in an offer and bought it. The purchase is pending inspection but their place passed the inspection so they have to be out at the end of the month. If the other one falls through we may have some company for a while. But I am sure it will all be fine. It will not be so easy for Baba to walk the booboos home once they move.

We have been going to RD a lot for medical appointments for Geoff. He has had a cortisone shot in his elbow which helped and we go tomorrow for one in his shoulder. He has had a gastroscope procedure and he has an appointment with an ear, nose and throat doctor coming up.

We have been having beautiful fall weather until yesterday. It snowed a bit. Jude, Courtney and I were going to go to the farmers market in RD but went out to Grandview Stage for breakfast instead.

When Dick and Jo were here we were trying to remember when we went to Mount Rushmore together and of course couldn't. But I searched the blog and found it!
