MEOTA — As we revel in the post-harvest season we can be thankful. As we travelled this past week to Alberta. (a full Canadian dollar, lower taxes than most and little political or social unrest) we ended up at Rocky Mountain House. The heritage site south of town was a bit difficult to find but well worth a visit. The documentation of David Thompson’s exploratory work was demonstrated with an outdoor puppet show. We Canadians can thank him for finding a land route through the Rockies which would eventually tie British Columbia to the rest of Canada. Many smaller fields were lying in swaths and a few of the Canola crops remained standing green. Thankfully we here are in a weed control stage and most of the grain is in the bin.
Ted Adomas's family had their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren visiting from north of Edmonton. Ken and Judy Schmidt had friends and relatives visit for an early birthday celebration. Always good to celebrate.
