After saying our goodbyes to Carol & Pete and the menagerie of critters we moved our mobile home back to Sam & Donna’s place in Calgary. Our next house sit wasn’t until mid-November, so there was no rush. But we did have a few things to accomplish, including getting the little motorcycles ready for long-term storage. Donna also had Ann doing more admin tasks (stuff Donna hates and Ann loves). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also got to watch the results of the latest federal election where absolutely nothing changed. Good one Trudeau \ud83d\ude44. We had to vote by mail again on this one, and it was touch-and-go whether Ann<\/em>, or rather K. Ann<\/em>, or is it Kathi Ann<\/em>, or is it just Kathi<\/em>…? was going to get to vote. She finally did get a mail-in ballot after much ado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The days passed quickly, and the warmth of Summer slipped into the chill of Fall. The colours of the west aren’t as varied as Autumn in Ottawa, but they are just as stunning and vibrant. And there’s something about the dry crunch of leaves that lets you know you’re not in damp Ontario (so says Ann). So we enjoyed our time, with walks and swims and the occasional flaming BBQ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a way to move three vehicles with only two drivers, I decided to head to the cabin by myself. Naturally, I picked one of the windiest days to do the drive. Good thing I didn’t check the forecast before I left — I’d have never tried it \ud83d\ude27. Happily, I made it and got to spend a few days on my own at Beauvais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
