Week ending Oct 1, 2015 Cochrane

Friday we went out to Bowden to visit John parents and celebrate his Mom's birthday.

Saturday we went up to the elections office and cast our ballot, since we will be leaving before election day. We continued with our preparations for our winter trip, buying Joan a new computer, getting water filters for our water system. The weather continues to hold so we are able to use some of the walking trails we always enjoy in Cochrane.

Sunday was a day off, Nascar race and a bit of walking.

Monday we went to the drug store to and ordered John's pills, another learning experience since Blue Cross limits the number of pills they will pay for at one time.The druggist apparently arranges everything so we left it in his hands. No one at the drug stores here seem to know if there is going to be a early flu clinic for snowbirds, but our friend Elizabeth in Canmore discovered there is an early flu shot clinic for seniors only on Tuesday Oct 6. Very handy because it is the day before we leave for Regina and the day after Joan's final appointment with her Oncologist.

Tuesday we went to Cratex to pick up some desiccant to keep the moisture in the trailer at bay. We have trouble finding this, as the stores carry the containers, with a bit of desiccant in them, but don't carry the refills. After lunch while we waited for windows 10 to download onto Joan's new computer at the library, John picked up his pills at the drugstore.

Wednesday we made a quick trip in to Calgary to pick up Sue's large roast pan. Joan will be roasting a turkey for Thanksgiving  at Karen's and Trev and Sue will be able to take the leftovers home in the roast pan.

Thursday is clean-up day, but we took some time off to go for a walk through an area of Cochrane we hadn't been in before.  We are enjoying the river valley, the fall colours are really vibrant at the moment.
