Fall is here!

This past month has been a busy one! It started out with moving Bailey to a new farm! I was pretty nervous as he hadn't been on a trailer or been exposed to really anything in over 4 years since I first moved him out to Ontario. Change is always scary and I am famous for worrying about anything and everything, but I was pleasantly surprised about how smoothly the move went and how well he has been settling in. The new farm is great and the people are very supportive. I have been working him a lot more now that I have access to proper fenced-in areas and I even went for a ride for the first time this past Thursday!

 

I took the first week of September off and went on a little holiday to Nova Scotia. I spent the time visiting my friends Becky and Crystal whom I hadn't seen since Christmas and  our wedding respectively. We had a wonderful time.  I had never been a tourist in Halifax so I got to see the Harbor front and board walk, the market, and we quickly ran around Citadel Hill but didn't get to stay long because we got there late and the fort was closing in 10 minutes, so we had that amount of time to see the sites!  I was also lucky in that my Uncle Darel lives in Fall River, which is close by, so mom and dad made the drive down and we all had dinner together. I ate enough sea food to keep me happy until Christmas! The weather during my trip was cool and crisp, it was a horrible shock to return to the hot humid weather of Ontario!

 

 

Since my little adventure, Robbie and I have been getting back into our routine.  Robbie has been working very hard at Maple Leaf.  With the recent move of their laboratory, he has been having to deal with working out the bugs of the new place including equipment malfunctions and coming up with new protocols. He also recently did a presentation to his co workers ,on a volunteer basis, on the subject of Food Additives. He is planning on taking some time off in October but it sounds like he will be using the time to catch up on extra work! 

Last weekend we attended the opening night celebrations for the Center in the Square, which is a venue for theater productions, the symphony, and other such performances. There was a free show in which performers "danced" attached to rope and harness on the side of a building. It was pretty incredible to watch, the pictures do not do it justice.  During this time we also won free tickets to Whoopi Goldberg. The show was last evening, it was fairly entertaining Whoopi did her stand up comedy for an hour with a Q&A session at the end. It was fairly entertaining, it never occurred to me that there are so many die  hard Whoopi fans out there, but apparently it is so. We also won tickets to a show in April that is supposed to be similar to Cirque de Soleil so we will be looking forward to that. 

Last but not least, I don't think I have ever seen Robbie quite so excited as when he found this adult sized Spider man costume!  Now all his dreams have come true! I expect he will want to wear this more than just for Halloween!
