August is winding up, which is giving me have all the end of summer feels. But it’s not pumpkin spice season yet. Don’t get me wrong, I love autumn. But I’m not ready to embrace all the wonders autumn brings. So, here’s hoping for a lovely September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not included is a photo of the best ice cream cone I’ve had in a long, long time. It was Raspberry Macaroon (Vegan) in a waffle cone from Village Cream in Calgary. Oh my word. Delicious<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a few days in Calgary visiting my sister and her family. We packed a lot of goodness into our visit. From a visit to a delightful boutique romance bookstore, Slow Burn Books<\/a>, to a Fibre Arts Exhibit, Entwined and Entangled, at the Leighton Art Centre<\/a>, We dined at Merchants<\/a> in the Marda Loop area. My nephews are fifteen and twelve and they have a family tradition of playing a simple but lively card game called Anomia<\/strong> when they go out for dinner. No one looked at their phone once. Of course, we fit in a game of Scrabble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went the theatre to watch the Barbie<\/a> movie. it was as awesome as everyone is saying! Highly recommend. We watched Red, White and Royal Blue<\/a> based on the popular romance novel by Casey McQuiston. (Amazon Prime). Loved it. Recommend. We watched Fisk<\/a> (Netflix). So funny! Definitely check it out and see if it might appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvest is in full swing, kids are getting ready to go back to school. It’s the time of cooler evenings and backyard fires. Tan lines will begin to fade and the leaves will start to turn. Until then, I’ll be soaking up the last month of summer. Going to the pool, golfing, eating all the market garden produce, and praying the frost holds off for a few more weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you filling the last days of summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
