Fall time in Calgary

End of the summer ..... time to squeeze in a few more adventures...

Nola and I took off for the weekend. We ended up logging in over 2,000 km around and through the interior of BC... Nieeece. Great time
Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful! Luckee...

Here we are ready to take off.

Nola is a really great motorcycle riding buddy. We really have a great time hangin' out.
Mom and Dad have moved into a lodge in Lethbridge, this picture was taken outside of the eatery where we had a family dinner after the move in. Mom and Dad are doing great, they have tons of issues but comment and complain rarely, and they do their best to look at the positive side of everything. They are shining examples to all who know them.

A trip to the 7-11 with Grandma & pa. The world is a good place, we enjoy each others company, and have a lot of fun and laughs together.
Marshal & Grandpa.... the 'midget' really likes to skateboard. When we ask him if he wants to go he will give a 'full body' nod of the head. Very cute, we like hangin' out together.

We went for a short ride early in the afternoon and ended up covering 300 km of beautiful fall colors, warm nice fall weather, even got up in the foothills on some great gravel roads. We ended the day @ Phoenix Grill and had a nice meal, before retiring. Great day with my bride.
Isn't she beautiful.....
The evidence of Fall is everywhere.

Even in our own backyard... Nieeeece!

It's been a wonderful Fall, Nola and I have been empty nesters for the past month or so. We have loved our time together unmolested by much of the stress and tension of the world. Austin is in Utah as an assistant to the director (read...... Go-fer) for a movie shoot that is taking place in SLC area as we speak. Carter is in SLC at LDS (every one knows your) Business College. We talk with the boys often and they tell us they are doing great. Girls are doing very well also. Holly is here in Calgary and Dylan is in the Atlanta area. The world moves along at an astonishing pace. Kids grow up and leave home, grandkids spring up .......and we still feel like we are newly weds (one of us even acts like they are 21). Odd isn't it? Maybe this is my que to "grow up".... I don't think I'd make a very good grownup ... so ...... Sorry to break it to ya, but I'm not ready to be a grownup yet. Maybe one day, but not any time in the foreseeable future. So in the mean time yer just gunna have to deal with it..... mark
Oh and "Happy Birthday Dear" luv mark...
