Two more beautiful Fall photos.  It is cooler here than Almonte, but walking two Huskie dogs each evening along a narrow trail right next to the ocean is amazing, breathing the salt 
sea air always brings me back to an energetic life!

The flight was long but very good, I was well looked after sitting in a wheelchair at each airport. The first flight was a few minutes late arriving in Edmonton, of course both planes were each at the farthest ends of the airport; wheelchair passengers are always first on but last off. I was rushed through hundreds of travellers on a large buggy then down the ramp to the plane which was kept waiting for 8 minutes for me to arrive. Without the said chair I would have lost my flight and luggage! 

Graham and Ana have a very interesting large country house on 1 and 1/4 acres of sloping ground very close to the edge but high above the Ocean.

Just watching a green hummingbird visiting a large red Petunia bush, a lovely sight several times a day.

Enjoy the Fall in your new car.  Take care.

Enjoy, as much as you possibly can, your new vehicle in fine weather, snow is only "around the corner!

Oh dear, I remember that song so well, in fact upon reading all the words I was singing it all out loud: I just hope Graham did not hear me! Almost all the words. 

"Among these  Dark Satanic Mills" used to make our whole school cry, including our two Teachers.  It was mid 1940 during the "Battle of Britain", living only 5 miles from the English Channel, we heard and saw so much devastation.

Very interesting! I believe I met The James Newton"s many years ago, They were possibly friends of Brig:General Don Stewart and wife Jean, from whom we rented their old farm house on Colborne St, whilst he was head of NATO in Syracuse, N.Y.

I bought all the blue material for 6 large windows in my house on Country St. (floor to ceiling) from Collie Mills in Appleton Village. They survive to-day partly as I wash them on a regular basis; more of the same material I used to cover the couch in our drawing room which has been moved  from house to house over the years.
 
The Appleton Side Rd. also reminds me of the tragic accident years ago of a train ramming and killing our two English friends and their two very young Grandchildren.  We were waiting for the "Taylors" to arrive for dinner that evening, only to hear the sad news on CBC  T.V.  It was a shock that neither of us could believe, or drive again on that road , even many years after the rail track was removed and Hwy#7 was built. 

Another "what is life".

Packing all clothes to-morrow, leave on Wednesday.

Very Best of luck this week,  May God be watching over you.

Take great care.
