For Dave's birthday, his friend and biking partner Joe helped to organize a true Alberta Boys day out: at the shooting range. The guys had a great time shooting at clay "pigeons" and "rabbits" on the shooting course...Here's a few photos...

Birthday Celebrations
Last weekend a group of my girlfriends joined me at the nearby Pottery place to paint some lovely pottery pieces in early celebration of my birthday (in December). We then went out for dinner--such a wonderful group of girls--I feel so lucky to have these amazing women in my life!
We celebrated Dave's birthday last night at Hotel Arts "Raw Bar" downtown--some amazing food, and great company (www.hotelarts.ca ). Thanks to everyone who was able to join us!!

Mom and Dad Jackson have gotten quite involved the last few years in their local community's "Festival of Trees"--quite a big deal in Bobcaygeon and the surrounding area! Dad has even become a bit of a local celebrity--playing the part of Santa (with the help of a beard and a little extra padding)! Again this year, the grandkids came up for a visit, but they weren't too sure about Santa...

November....
The "cabin"...

Banff Centre: Film Fest
After our brief interlude in Ontario, we are back to the grey gloominess that is November. We've been trying to keep up on raking leaves, clearing the gardens, and our ongoing "projects" (my "crafts/cards" and Dave's woodworking) in preparation for winter. We had a brief snowfall last week, that has managed to stick around in the areas where the sun hasn't melted it yet...
Last weekend we ventured into Canmore and Banff for another visit at our friend PJ's "cabin", and to take in the "Banff Mountain Film Festival". It was a great opportunity to be in the mountains during "shoulder season" (i.e. too much snow for biking, not enough snow for snowboarding!), and to take in a bit of "culture".
For the next few weeks we have a busy social calendar with another hockey game booked, along with several "girls nights" and "boys nights" events coming up. Dave's birthday is also in a few weeks, so we will be planning something exciting--as always--for that!
