We enjoyed watching S in her first ringette game as an official/referee! (And an hour later, we enjoyed watching her score 5 goals! Plus, 8 minutes of penalties... not so fun to watch.)

I managed to take one picture today - sunshine and blue sky as I was leaving work. It's fitting anyway; my coworkers and I relished the sunshine during our walks (the sky was overcast for a few days before). And those walks were bright spots in a day dotted with negatives.

Neil and I were invited (by one of our best Grocery Freedom customers) to attend the Youth For Christ 10th Annual Hope Dinner at the Conexus Arts Centre. It was a good meal and a lovely evening with almost 700 people. We learned about the great work Youth For Christ does in our community and province. I adore the beautiful, soothing song performed at the end: 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) by Matt Redman.

(The only downside to this evening was missing M's ringette game in which she scored 2 goals and had 1 assist.)

Van window as I was leaving work today... First snowfall of the season. At least it's not sticking around yet.

M working on her Halloween costume: a box of Wonka Nerds candy. It's turning out well!

I brought the "Grandma Mabel" chair up from the basement. It became an instant favourite place to sit, of course. Grandma Mabel was Neil's great grandma on his mom's dad's side. It was Neil's favourite chair when he visited her in Avonlea as a child.

G working on her Halloween costume. She's going to be a bag of Goldfish crackers - idea from the Coolest Homemade Costumes website, "Last-minute Costumes" section.

Pretty sunrise on my way to work. I prefer a straight horizon normally, but the angle seemed to suit this view.

I received a Fitbit Flex for my birthday (a month ago) and a nice watch for my 20th anniversary at work (3 weeks ago). I enjoy wearing both. Incidentally, I learned last evening that I've walked 250 km since I started using Fitbit 30 days ago. Also for my work anniversary, I was treated to lunch with my manager today. We went to Browns Social House and my food was delicious! (blackened chicken "healthy social bowl" with braised red cabbage instead of rice)

(I'm finding it difficult to get my pictures done these days. It was bedtime by the time I managed to get a photo; daylight hours would have been better!)

Canmore! Family time (both sides)! Ringette! Fantastic weather! (and that darn sewer problem)

This evening, I took the girls to Value Village and Dollarama to get costume supplies. They're planning to make their own costumes this year. :)

Fantastic to see this happening when I got home from work!

I love driving down Elphinstone in the fall. Plus, the weather has been amazing this month and everything looks better with sunshine!

We went to Weyburn to celebrate my grandma's 95th birthday. She's doing so well! Just now in the process of moving into a building where she won't have to cook for herself. Her birthday party was in the dining room at her new place.

Real life isn't always pretty... our sewer line was blocked and we had to call Roto Rooter to fix it. It was challenging to clear this spot in our basement. Not fun! And who knows when we'll have time to move stuff back. :(

We're about to spend a lot of time here. (Co-operators Centre - 3 girls playing ringette for the next 5-6 months.)

I'm enjoying glimpses of sunrise from our back door these days.

The girls at Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park. Amazing place to spend some time!

(SO behind on photos! This week was extra full and I could not squeeze it in.)
