I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE DO WITH OUR TIME.
IT SEEMS LIKE JUST A FEW DAYS AGO I POSTED AND HERE IT IS NOVEMBER.
WE HEADED OUT TO LAC DU BONNET TO SEE THE KIDS.
MICHAEL WAS OFF FOR 2 WEEKS BEFORE STARTING A NEW JOB.
HE HAD A LONG LIST OF PROJECTS TO DO.
THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE COLOURS WERE GREAT!
I BROUGHT A SEWING MACHINE FOR MICHAYLA AND WE
HAS A FEW LESSONS. SHE IS LEARNING TO SEW AT 6.
PULLING THE DRAW STRING THROUGH THE CASING OF
THE SMALL POUCH SHE SEWED.

HEAD TO ONTARIO FOR THANKSGIVING.
PART OF OUR OCTOBER WAS SPENT DRIVING TO
ONTARIO TO VISIT OUR 2 CHILDREN WHO
LIVE IN KITCHENER AND HAMILTON.
WE LEFT WINNIPEG UNDER CLEAR SKIES
WITH BEAUTIFUL COLOURS!
LOTS OF GEESE FLYING SOUTH. WE HOPE THE SNOW WAITS A WHILE
WE NOTICED A LOT OF FIELD WORK GOING ON.
SUGAR BEETS BEING HARVESTED.
BOTH RON & I SPENT MANY SUMMERS WEEDING
SUGAR BEETS BEFORE THEY STOPPED GROWING THEM
IN SOUTHERN MANITOBA.
THEY ARE STILL BEING GROWN IN NORTH DAKOTA AND
HARVEST WAS IN FULL SWING.
THE COLOURS ALONG THE WAY WERE BRILLIANT AGAIN
THIS YEAR.
BUT MANY LEAVES WERE DROPPING QUICKLY. WE SURE
NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE ON OUR RETURN.
HEADING INTO DULUTH SUPERIOR WE SAW THIS BEAUTY.
REMINDED US OF FRIENDS WHO OWNED SOMETHING
SIMILAR NOT TOO LONG AGO. .
CROSSING THE MACKINAC BRIDGE YET AGAIN.
WE ENJOY THE SCENERY ALONG THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN.
THEY ARE ALWAYS REPAIRING OR PAINTING THIS BRIDGE.
I GUESS THAT IS A GOOD THING AS WE WOULD
REALLY LIKE FOR IT TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE WHEN WE DRIVE ACROSS.
WE HAVE DONE THIS TRIP A FEW TIMES AND HAVE
SOME PLACES THAT WE LIKE TO SEE AND STOP AT.
IN KITCHENER WATERLOO ST. JACOB'S FARMER'S MARKET IS
A PLACE WE HEAD TO BOTH SATURDAYS.
THE LARGE BUILDING THAT WAS LOST TO A FIRE A FEW MONTHS
AGO IS BEING REPLACED.
WE TALKED WITH A FRIEND WHO HAD BEEN SELLING MAPLE SYRUP IN THE BUILDING FOR 35 YEARS. HE WAS OUTSIDE, CONTINUING TO SERVE HIS CUSTOMERS.
PICKING UP A FEW BELTS.
WE GOT ALL OUR VEGGIES FOR THE SOUP AND VEGETARIAN LASAGNA.

I WOULD LOVE TO DO A TREE IN THE PATIO SIMILAR TO THIS ONE!

WE TOOK THE I80 SOUTH OF THE CITY AND THEN TURNED
NORTH ON THE I39.
