What a lovely evening

That may have been one of the last walks of the summer with Helen,  I'm pretty sure the weather is going to change - in the meantime, the weather was perfect for our dusk walk tonight.  It was nice to catch up and great to go walking on such a lovely September evening!

Go Flames Go

I don't think I've seen the Flames play live yet this year - but it was a great evening tonight!  My friend at work gave me some left over tickets for tonights pre-season game against Phoenix - the game was good, we won 4-2, very exciting.  But the best part of it was when one of the Saddledome officials asked me to put my camera away - because it was too professional!  That absolutely made my day!

Here are a couple of photo's I took with my too professional camera!

Fantastic seats - second row!

Up up and away!!!

What an interesting day - in so many ways.

Nexen decided to break the world record for the amount of people all dressed as a super-hero - who even knew there was a world record for such a thing?  Well, apparently a school in Ireland  had set the record a few years ago, and we have now snatched the record with 437 supermen.  It made the news tonight and the front page of tomorrow's Herald - must be a slow news week!

All done in a good cause...all funds went to the United Way campaign.

A seriously big mirror

Remind me to not let Arlan buy stuff without my input!  I wanted to replace the little mirror in the bedroom, and we had agreed on a plain mirror in between the two doors....I didn't have in mind that it would be this HUGE....this really makes me want to diet, maybe it will be good for me!

Please ignore the horrible curtains - I can't blame Arlan for those, but heaven knows why we chose them!

Empty Nesters

This was my first full day in the office for about 3 weeks - which was quite refreshing.  It was also the first day of being back on a diet - honestly, why can't I just eat slightly less and lose weight, why do I either eat nothing or loads?!  Today was almost nothing....an orange, a nectarine, an apple and a banana, Surely I lost weight today?  We went to empty nesters tonight, lots of food, and I had none of it!!

These are some of my empty nester friends!

I don't want this weather to ever end

...another gorgeous day.  We sat outside for Priesthood and Relief Society and I was in the sun and I'm pretty sure I got a tan!  After Church I sat on the deck for a while - just because I could.  Then I went out to take my daily photo, and snapped this shot of the Bow River....

The colours of autumn, but there are still rafts out on the river....the weather is still VERY summer!

Another record breaker

Today was the annual City-Wide Food Drive, organized by the Church;  In 2008 we actually broke the Guinness World record for the most food collected in one day for a Food Bank; and this year we surpassed that number.  Again, the weather was gorgeous, which helped.  We've done it in the cold and rain in years gone by.

After collecting and delivering food, we had a BBQ and Corn bust at the Church - As you know, I LOVE taking random photo's of people, and these events give me good opportunities.  Here are 3 favourites:
