The weather forcast the other day was rain. I can't say I have seen a whole whack of it... nor am I interested in the rain... maybe only at night. In the meantime... it has gotten quite cold~! Well figure that... being October and all.
We braved the Hyde Creek Trail at the walking group today. We saw no evidence of bears in the area, but that doesn't mean that they were not hiding somewhere. It was a beautiful walk amongst the amber leaves. Hopefully we can continue this walk... and those with the little scaredy cat dogs can brave the trail with us.
Onto other things:
Yes, there was that parade picture. Our neighbour down the street invented a parade last year. We all attended, like lemmings.... and it was a little street community event. It brought people out of their homes, and onto the street, and let ourselves re-aquaint ourselves with neighbours. It was all fun. Somehow he managed to have a bouncy castle lent to him, and the cops & fireboys were in attendance handing out stickers & fire hats... and of course climbing ladders. It was all fun... with the kids dressing up their bikes, or things with wheels to walk the loop of the parade.
I stole away from work early to be a part of the festivities this year, which the weather also cooperated for us. It was a very nice street party!... although i think I owe somebody some money for something..... as I am not sure who footed the bill to pay for the drinks, chips, candy & hotdogs....
The boy doesn't have good parents. He has left the homestead without a jacket. It is cold out there. Hopefully he will gain some smarts while he rides around on his scooter with his friend... and hopefully he will not be stopping for a slurpee.... that would completely be an OUCH! He does have some sort of winterizers available to him... just wish he would use them.
Well... I am off bear hunting... not sure of what my success will be....
OH... and put the PIP back in swimming lessons.. not that she needs swimming lessons... I am just hoping that she perfects all her strokes, completes the levels. She did quite well, for not having lessons for two years... but then again.. she has been finswimming for two years... and she was pleased as punch that she didn't have to put on fins to swim... AND the bonus was that I cut out her ELBOW ACTION thingy in her bathing suit so that it actually fit her, rather than strangled her... OK... remember the ELBOW ACTION story from the summer.............?
Must catch bears.....
