We have accomplished a lot in the past week in organizing the sale of everything in Okotoks.  In the next 3 days we will be rid of all the contents and in 6 days we will surrender the house and car to the new owners.
I was going to keep the car until the 25th but I am having my first cataract surgery on my left eye on Thursday the 13th, and I can't drive for a week.  But then I follow that with cataract surgery on my right eye on the 18th, and I can't drive for another week,... and I leave on the 26th.
I thank my lucky stars for good friends like Em and Gord who are going to rescue my homeless self and drive me around too.  They have been the greatest friends for 12 years and always are willing to lend a hand to a person in need.  God bless them.
I have a few more photos over the last few days and one was a lucky capture of 3 squirrels in Ted & Janet's yard, one statue in the yard and two live ones attacking the bird feeders....   The sunsets, mountains and deer are a constant joy.
Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al
