Our drive Sunday from McBride to Wetaskiwin was most interesting. It was raining when we left McBride and as we passed through the mountains it was snowing a bit, no slush though.
We saw no animals going west but coming back through the Jasper area there were half a dozen elk near town, then there were herds of goats and sheep and more elk alongside the road. Folks were stopping to take pictures and we took a few. Lunchtime in Jasper also was interesting as people were walking everywhere, many tourists, of course, including from other countries, many in parkas and some with umbrellas. Parking near downtown is impossible so, yes, people are walking!

The Meota Quilters have a quilt on display at the Credit Union where you can also purchase tickets, or from most businesses in the village. The quilters meet on Mondays in the quilting room in the big hall and are always looking for new members to help out or bring new ideas and learn from their elders. Final date to purchase tickets will be the night of the Meota Fall Supper on Nov. 3, after which it will be drawn for. Â
The Fall Supper sponsored by the Catholic Churches of Vawn, Meota, Edam and Jackfish is being held in the Meota Community Complex on Nov. 3, 5-7 p.m.

Our visit with Bernice (Pearson) Sparkes went well. She still lives in her own house, but gets a lot of help with the grass cutting, tree trimming and taking up of her garden,. She is still the same independent person she always was. Four days with my son Gordon was nice, but he worked at something most days besides his job at the planer mill in Smithers. Since we left, his wife Shelley has had a heart attack so was flown down to Vancouver where she is being cared for.
