17/11: Counting Down

It's been a long while since I've updated my blog so I had better get to it.
My last trip to Burlington this year was on November 3rd. I'll miss seeing my mom but I'm happy to be done with the drive for awhile.
November 10th was pottery show setup day. Once a year my friend Lori, who throws "pots" for a hobby, has her annual sale in conjunction with the Frederick Street Art Walk. This year I talked Ed into driving down to Kitchener with me .... he helped a bit with setup but mostly went shopping to the stores he never gets to, i.e. Waterloo Surplus, Orion Electronics, etc. Zaph stay home with our neighbors Rob and Ellen --- ensured a long walk and lots of attention.
November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada and this is what it looked like when we woke up.
The sun was shining just before 11am when we started walking to the cenotaph for the Remembrance Day Ceremonies. About 5 minutes into the ceremony the snow started, by the end we looked like a bunch of snow men. The ceremony was very nice and well attended.
Saturday November 12th was the Frederick Street Art Walk and this year for the first time I attended. My friend Gwen from Brampton wanted to go, so my friend Anne and I drove down to Kitchener to meet Gwen. It was a beautiful day for the art walk and was well attended. The three of us went into at least half of houses on the walk.
November 13th was our last visit with Ed's sister Sonya. Orangeville is about half way between Sonya's house and our house, so we met at the restaurant where we met the year before. Think this might become an annual ritual. Enjoyed a nice lunch, had a good visit and walk about town.
A new restaurant opened in Walkerton a couple of months ago so we decided to try it. We went there with our neighbors and had an enjoyable dinner.
November weather couldn't be much better, in general it's been warm and not too wet. Ed decided that we should take advantage of the good weather and pack the trailer early. A heater is running in the trailer but it hasn't had to work to hard, well that is until today. It's hovering around freezing and has been snowing off and on all. Reminds we why we are going south.
