Fall was a season of celebrations! We celebrated our granddaughter\u2019s 6th birthday, honoured my father-in-law\u2019s 96th birthday, and threw in Thanksgiving celebrations too!<\/p>

Our youngest daughter, Kelly loves baking. She made a wonderful cake for our granddaughter as well as for my father-in-law. (Do the math\u2026 they\u2019re only 90 years apart!)\u00a0<\/p>

My husband, my father-in-law and I decided to take a historic train ride on the Heritage Hopper with Waterloo Central Railway. It certainly wasn\u2019t as smooth as newer trains, but it was definitely a lot of fun. If you were brave enough to stand up, you had to hold on to the seats. The scenery was spectacular! We disembarked in St. Jacobs and walked around the charming little town, which my father-in-law had never seen before.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Then came Halloween. We went to our second daughter\u2019s home to celebrate Halloween with our grandchildren. We were \u2018weather fortunate\u2019 and it turned out to be a perfect evening for Reya and Dashel\u00a0(aged X and X)\u00a0to collect dizzying amounts of treats from neighbours.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As the temperature started dropping, I decided it was time to treat myself to a new pair of slippers. I loved the ones I had, but they were completely worn out. Lucky me, I managed to find a new pair that are just as warm and cozy, without the wear.\u00a0<\/p>

Last but not least was the unenviable annual task of raking tons of falling leaves from the big trees adorning our property.
