home and a dresser sale

Visiting and coffee started the day served with some leftovers , soon the group grew with the arrival of Dale, Stacie and the kids. It was another nice visit before we loaded up and were on our way home by noon. The drive was uneventful and even hit 13 and sunny for most of the trip.

and they say too many chefs in a kitchen... hahaha

We pulled in at 2:30 just as the wind picked up and the dark clouds to the west let out a bit of rain. Once all unloaded, Kaylin was off to the city to get to her 4 pm work shift leaving Lexi to go home with Britt and pick up later. B went and crawled into her bed after falling asleep on the last part of the drive home. She slept till almost 5. S was so happy to get in big brown and turn on football Sunday. He did get us a cold beer first though. I caught up on a few marketing things before a lady and fellow arrived just after 3. They got it loaded up and on their way. I got back to marketing and posting more items on other sites hoping to move some more goodies. I did run out and give Hawk his cushings meds as it started to rain again.

S had a wee nap even during football but did get the barbecue going for burgers. Britt and Lexi were off to home after 5:30, man it is dark now with the time change. I was off to soak in the tub while S watched more football.

Pre Christmas get together - few pictures ;)

B arrived before 9, so impressive. She was going to ride Bird in the saddle before buying if you remember but it was pretty chilly out with hoar frost all over the grass. She joined us for coffee then went out to check it out better and sit in it while we waited for Kaylin.

She and Lexi arrived around 10:30 which is impressive after she closed last night getting home around 3 am. Everyone got a fresh coffee /cappuccino for the road, loaded up and we were on the road around 11. Fog pockets were everywhere till we passed Hussar then the roads were good till almost to Oyen where they had a snow storm last night.

We got to Moms after 1 where the girls finished getting ready and we were off to town. A quick stop at the local drug store proved the prices were quite a bit higher then the city. Our next stop was dale’s for a visit and a beverage before we all headed to the Cross Roads center around 3.

grandmas greeters... and there is one more in the kitchen ;)

It was an enjoyable evening of visiting and laughs with 25 Walker/Ball descendants. The Wagstaff girls had their horses which was a big hit with the littles and Britt :) Shaina was our only missing family member, she is off visiting a friend in Ontario. Blume's and Schmitt's hopefully can attend the next one maybe in the summer.

Kaylin took these 2 and the video, thanks K

Auntie Mindy took this group pic, anyone else take any, send my way please

does this horse make my butt look big? :)

seems I missed a few folks and a few other pictures may have focused on the decorations and caught a few with eyes closed, nor did we get a group photo :(

these eyes were closed on purpose, he was invisible now ;)

 modelling 101

Catered supper and beverages with games and visiting added more memories for the memory bank. We did have to clean up around 10 and head for home with a quick detour to fill with fuel. Back at Mom’s B and I helped her get food put away then showed her how to transfer photos from her phone to her laptop. Sheldon caught the end of the Flames comeback win.

Jeep booked

We were completed fogged in upon waking and it stuck around till after lunch. It was brrr windy and cool too. The wind picked up last night and has not seemed to leave. Our morning task after coffee was to book a rental car. It seems that like flights the prices fluctuate day to day and during the day as well as from page to page. We did finally book a jeep!! I also posted live a blog post for the grey Bombay chest.

S likes to drive to town like his Pa and after lunch he loaded up the bottles and was off returning shortly with hot chai teas and $$ in his pocket. I got started on a few new projects; the one large jewelry box needed lining glued in many places

and a divided treasure box was cleaned, coated in a layer of soft pink then rose gold metallic.



S worked on GST till Sharon arrived at 4:30 and had gate issues. He did a few adjustments while we worked on "marketing issues" she was having. She was off after 6, we had supper then S was off to the TV room for sports and I Netflix and marketing.

november 1 already

Another slow start day due to being overcast. Even the horses came around to the waterer seeing theirs was not refilled last night or this am by 8:30 as usual. Coffee was served to get things moving.

Kaylin's Halloween costume

In my usual style I added ageing wax to the white table and got it posted for sale on many sites along with a few other items posted too. S continued his search for car rental and other online perusing. After lunch he made a run to town to pick up his now straightened baler parts and a few other errands. Today ends the nice weather run that has been around for weeks ;(

I filled the tub by the house with water and gave hawks his Cushing meds, I am sure he was like what the heck lady, I thought we were done! Cleaning my purse and sorting "club" cards took a bit of time, I did find these cute pics.

 

Back from town and back in his chair it was a relaxing day for the prince. It was a very laid back day. I did throw on a roasted chicken for supper then S was off to TV room to watch Flames game and I hit a soak in the tub and watched Netflix for the evening.
