Calgary honey

 

My nephew Chris has new new crop of honey in Calgary. William is taste testing. 

Crave restaurant party

Mom, Maureen, and Rick came to the house this morning and I showed off the gazebo. This afternoon I put final touches on my drain pipe before winter, and ran soume errands including finding "The Watch" (Pratchett tv series) at the library. Later, we all went out to Crave this evening. Food very good, as usual. Back to mom's for a cake (from La Macaron). Much easier to talk at the condo as we didn't manage to get a private room at Crave so it was louder than I'd like. 

Mom turns 90

Mom's 90th birthday today. Sharon and Maureen both came to town last night and we've begun the festivities with an evening at Lori's.  

Heritage building at Regina Beach

Headed out to Regina Beach, primarily for Margaret to see Sarah's exhibition at the LMLCC before it closes, but also for William to follow up with Erik about the three heritage sites which are located right beside the gallery. Possibly future art projects???
 

Art Now

 Nice evening at Art Now. I'm not sure if I saw everything since I took a far more relaxed approach to everything this year, sauntering around and chatting instead of looking. Met a couple of strangers and caught up with some old friends. Introduced William to Wally Start, or more accurately, one of Wally's colleagues with whom William is connected to through Victor's project introduced them. Many good conversations throughout the evening. 

Feeling retired

With no class yesterday and no meetings scheduled today, I was feeling a bit like I hope to feel when I'm retired. I installed an overhead drain pipe for the front eaves so that we won't get an ice hazard this winter. I painted. I stopped by the new halal butcher down the block who just opened and greeting them, but didn't buy anything as I was on my way to meet Kevin for coffee. Good productive yet relaxing day.
