Getting Ready....
I really wanted the Kayaks with us...
Hubby wasn't too impressed....
Being the great man he is....he loaded them up!!
We packed the truck and headed east to visit our children before we left!
We DO enjoy Alberta sunrises!! (and sunsets!!)
First morning there...we took 'the beast' for a walk...

Wednesday Walks
On a rainy morning...(which we have had quite a few of.)...we past the Elevators.
The white one above...we've heard will be torn down...and a replica built in it's spot... but remember things happen slowly in our town.
The Alberta Wheat Pool ... is now part of an Art Gallery...rumor has it it will be refurbished.
Here is a picture of them on a sunny summer day from the backside...
Actually...it is probably the front side as the railway tracks go by on this side:)

Second Hand Stores
I'm starting to enjoy second hand store shopping... We have a great one in our new town...and I see what others get...so I do go once in awhile (and have found some nice things:). When we moved last time...we really downsized all our 'stuff'.... Our popcorn making was getting old, the top was cracked. So we got rid of it! Plus... I think you can make real good popcorn in a pan!.... Hubby is the real popcorn eater and maker...he was not impressed with the 'pan' popcorn...and craves his popcorn!
So one day we stopped in at the second hand store...
Found this... it was clean... it 'worked' from what we could tell, and it was $2.00....
Yes it made popcorn!!
Hubby is happy!!... His favourite movie and game snack is easy for him to make!!
It's was a win ...win.... (I won the game:)!!

Wednesday Walks
If you drive through our town...you will pass a block of foundation concrete....the town calls "The Bunker".
The foundation was poured in 2001....rumor has it that the person who started it ran out of money....
In 2011...the thought was it could be turned into apartments....
In 2015... a distillery and bistro??....
Late this summer...The Town purchased it, had openings in the foundation enclosed.... planted a few sunflowers around it.
It is now for sale... We hear rumblings in the coffee shop.... some locals just want it gone..

Craft Table empty...
The PJ's are done!
My second Quilt for Kids quilt top is done...
Okay....the pattern did not turn out the way the instructions said... I'll be honest... I have to be shown how to do things...reading how to do them...just doesn't work for me...BUT it's done...I don't think anyone will notice?? After I finished it ... I woke up the next morning and realized what I was suppose to do....so maybe I need to sleep on the instructions after I read them...before I do it:)

Driftwood Projects
Those of you who follow me...know hubby is a collector...and one thing he collects is driftwood. He has worked on a couple projects with his collection...
The pieces are attached with wooden dowels.
He wanted to preserve the driftwood...so he purchased a natural oil...and was hoping the colour didn't change....
It darkened them... I think the 'bird like' one lost some of it's unique markings...but he is enjoying working with the wood!
Glad he is 'using' his collection pieces...he has also made one more Driftwood ladder.
