Out and About

We sure have had a lot of rain in the past week. Cooler temperatures, high winds and rain have kept me house bound but Thursday the sun decided to shine down so I had to take advantage of it.

Karen and I headed to Fredericton to snoop around. November 11th (Rememberance Day) is a stat holiday here in NB so no stores were open but we didn't need to shop anyway. Fredericton is a beautiful city but to me it still seemed very rural. The streets are quite narrow for a city and even for a holiday there was a fair amount of traffic which is not something I miss from Ontario.
We discovered a walking bridge that crosses the Saint John River and ventured out across the wooden structure to get some pictures.

It was a great day, made a new friend and got some good pictures. Happy Day!!

Welcome November! October was just packed full of new and exciting beginnings...a new job and a special new friend. My job in a Senior's Home is very rewarding. The folks that I support there are so funny and always happy to see me. They are also a wealth of information on the history of this area and I love listening to their stories as much as they love telling them. For the time being I am also working at the bakery one day a week so my friend Elsie can have a much deserved day off so I am plenty busy.

Halloween brought with it our first snowfall...draped the trees in a white cover over night and then left the next day, just enough to remind me that Christmas is around the corner and soon the baking will begin.

Today is laundry day, baking brownies and then coffee with my friends this afternoon.
Happy November everyone!
