Monday
Sunny and warm today. Did a bit more on final yard cleanup. Next week I plan to put up my two short lengths of snow fence. We practiced our dance steps today. Our final dance lesson is on Wednesday. We think we might go on to level two of ballroom dancing. Did some more work on the Census references for my Canadian Kipp family genealogy. This is a slow but rewarding process. I do plan to update my Kip Family in America file but need to do a bit more work. Because of the new information I have added over the past year I will have to reduce the number of generations I put up because I am adding data on living people. Walked 11.3 km.
Tuesday
Sunny again today and warm. Worked for several hours on the census references for my Canadian Kipp family genealogy. Had the dogs over for a few hours in the evening while their masters were out. Biked 10.7 km. Walked 6.9 km.
Wednesday
Sunny again but a bit cooler. We went down to the cenotaph in Ottawa for the Remembrance Day Service. We usually watch on TV but the Prince of Wales and Dutchess of Cornwall were there today. A very large crowd attended. The weather was great and the service excellent. My two uncles served in WW I and returned. One of my cousins was almost set to go overseas when WW II ended. We went to our last dance class for Ballroom Dancing 1. I feel that we accomplished something. I can now do the basics for three dances (rumba, fox trot and waltz) and need a lot of practice on two more triple swing and cha-cha). Walked 8.7
Thursday & Friday
Sunny both days but cool. Thursday we spent the day shopping and running errands. Friday was taken up with yard work, putting you my two short lengths of snow fence, cleaning eves trough, and unpacking a couple of purchases that need to be put together. We also rearranged some of our curtains and put up one new curtain rod. Biked 10 km. Walked 11 km and 8.6 km.

Cloudy with some rain today. Practiced our dancing today. The classes are over but we will practice a couple of times a week to ingrain the basic steps. Worked for several hours on the census references for my Canadian Kipp family genealogy. Walked 7.4
Sunday
The day started wet and foggy. Rained a bit. The day went too fast. I did get to an afternoon tea for members of the Friends of the Library and Archives Canada. Had a chat with a few people and munched some great snacks. At home we had our daughter and fiancee and their two dogs over for supper. Cranberry brie to start, salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and garlic bread. We were full after! Walked 5.1 km.

Nov 2 to 8
Monday
Sun and cloud today. Worked part of the day getting ready for our research trip to the State Library and Archives in Albany, New York. Watched some Lovejoy and Waiting for God. We went to a Monday dance session to make up for missing our Wednesday session. Different instructor and different techniques. Walked 13.2 km
Tuesday
Headed off to Albany, New York, today to attend a New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (NYGBS) Research session, three days searching in the NY State Library and Archives. We prepared a spreadsheet of items to look at from their online catalogue. We had about 100 items. Plus there should be consultations with the NYGBS staff experts. We took the Hill Island bridge from the 401 and I-81 to Syracuse and then I-90 to Albany. Took about 7 hours with several stops. We stopped at Cicero, New York (Exit 30) for a buffet turkey dinner at the Plainville Farms Restaurant. A great meal if you are ever travelling that way. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel about two blocks from the Capitol Building and about the same from the Empire State Plaza where the NY State Library and Archives are located. There was some rain in the morning but it cleared for a while and then sort of clouded in later. We arrived in Albany just before dark. Walked about 5 km.
Wednesday
A clear day, partly sunny in Albany, NY. Spent from about 8:30 am to 5:00 pm in the State Library and Archives. Took a break about 1 pm for lunch and had a walk in the concourse under the Empire State Plaza. We took about 427 pictures of document pages today which we transferred to our computers. Cleared off the Memory cards and recharged the Camera batteries. At the reference desk today I met someone I know from the Palatines to America, New York Chapter. A bit of a surprise for both of us. We attended the NYGBS research group banquet this evening. We had Stuffed chicken breasts with apple pie for desert. The speaker was Bernard Margolis the new NY State Librarian. Previously he was the president of the Boston Public Library. We had seen and met him before when we were researching at the NEHGS in Boston. His talk title was "Born April 21, 1818". The date refers to the NY legislature and the date it approved the setting up of a state library. Walked 7.7 km.
Thursday
The day started off with some light cloud. The precipitation started about 5:30 in the afternoon after we got back to our hotel. Lunch was at Subway today. We had a very busy day at the NY State Library. Elizabeth and I took about 1189 images of document pages. The camera batteries really needed charging! Went to a wine and cheese for the research group. If we had any snow in Albany we didn't see it! Walked 6.8 km.
Friday
A day with alternating sun and cloud. We headed off to the State Library for 9 am opening. The two of us took over 900 page images today. It is good we are not staying longer or we would attempt to photograph the whole library collection!
Saturday
The day started off sunny in Albany, NY. We had a short walk in downtown Albany and out to the Hudson River before leaving for home. The drive home was uneventful and we arrived home about 4:50 in the afternoon, just before dark. We stopped at Plainville Farms restaurant for a turkey dinner at lunch time. Good meal as usual. Walked 6.9 km.
Sunday
Sunny today and warmer. A good to do the final yard cleanup. Went to Christ Church Cathedral this morning for their Remembrance Day Service. Went for a bike ride this afternoon. Biked 9.7 km. Walked 6.2 km.

Tuesday
Cloudy cool. Took one of the cars in for a checkup. Brought in the solar garden lights and turned off the last outside water tap.

It was about 4 hours long, but it gave an excellent overview of the Kennedys. Walked 7 km.
Wednesday
Cloudy today. A bit of rain in the afternoon. Went shopping at the Bulk Barn today. Did some more yard work to clean up leaves and dead plants. Practiced dancing and then went to our dancing lesson. We reviewed the Waltz and did some practicing with music. We did well! We then had an introduction to the Cha-Cha. A bit confusing but we did well on this also. We are noticing that other couples are not picking things up very quickly. No one ever taught me to dance until now! To bad! Besides doing things as a couple it is also good exercise. Did some work on my Kip family files tonight, with the purpose of updating my web pages. Walked 7.9 km.
Thursday & Friday
Mostly cloudy with a touch of sun. Did some more work on my Kip family files tonight. Cut up and cooked a whole pumpkin. This gave us a very nice pumpkin pie and five bags of pumpkin to freeze for use during the winter. Watched some MASH, Lovejoy and Waiting for God. Walked 7.5 and 7.6 km.
Saturday
Rain today with clearing in the late afternoon. Spent a couple of hours taking down some old blinds in the living room and installing a new curtain rod and curtains. It looks very nice. Practiced our dancing: rumba, fox trot, waltz, triple swing and cha-cha. This is a good work out. I like ABBA for their music but we are finding their music is good for dancing. The rain and wind today has taken down most of the leaves, so tomorrow is a raking day. Watched some MASH and LovejoyWalked 7.8 km.
Sunday
Sunny with cloud today. Spent a couple of hours in the morning raking leaves. This is the last major cleanup for the fall season. Biked 9.7 km. Walked 6.9 km.

Monday
Some sun and cool. Spent most of the afternoon raking leaves, cutting the grass and applying dolomite to the lawn to counteract acidity. Very tired after that. Watched some MASH, Lovejoy and Waiting for God. Practiced dancing. Walked 6.7 km.
Tuesday
Rain over night, cool, a bit of sun late afternoon. Housecleaning today. Practiced dancing. Walked 8 km.
Wednesday
Cold today. Spent time searching the US and Canadian Census records for my Canadian Kipp family file. Went for a bike ride (cold). Our daughter came over with the dogs and spent a couple of hours with us. Watched some MASH. Went to our dance class tonight. Practiced the Rumba and Fox Trot and then they started us on the Triple Swing. Biked 9.5 km. Walked 6.5 km.
Thursday
Had a frost overnight. Cold and sunny. Started cleaning up the gardens as the frost killed a lot of the annuals. Leaves were falling like crazy this morning when the sun came up. Practiced dancing this afternoon. We are getting good at the Rumba. We are not bad at the Fox Trot but need help on making turns. We had the dogs tonight for a couple of hours while our daughter and her fiancee went out for supper. Watched a couple of issues of MASH. Walked 3.7 km.
Friday
Cool but sunny today, frost. We went to the City of Ottawa Archives today to help the Ottawa Branch OGS sort through their reference section to weed out old and not relevant items. After that we scanned a number of images from a microfiche into digital format. This makes the old documents easier to read because on the computer you can zoom in and change the contrast etc. After that we went out to Montana's for lunch then did some grocery shopping. At home again I vacuumed the cars and put a few things away in the storage shed for the winter. Walked 7.7 km.
Saturday
Cool but sunny today, frost. We went to the BIFHSGO monthly meeting today to listen to the speaker, Lady Teviot from England. She gave a very good general talk entitled: I Never Thought of That - A Second Look at Problems. After that we came home and I did some gardening. I spent some more time on Ancestry.com searching the Census for my Canadian Kipp file. I have finished with the third generation for now and will move on to the 4th generation soon. This search is rewarding but slow. It is really difficult to find people on the census for many reasons not the least of which is transcription error. Sometimes they just disappear for a ten year period! Practised our dancing lessons, Rumba, Fox Trot and Triple Swing. We then watched some more Lovejoy and Waiting for God. Walked 9 km.
Sunday
Cool but sunny today, frost. Went to church this morning. Afternoon, I did some more cleanup in the garden. The frosts over the last few days have done their work. Went for a bike ride in the sun.

Oct 5 to 11
Monday
Got up about 5 am, early enough to have breakfast and get to St. Laurant Plaza to catch the Queensway Tour Bus. Our daughter drove us there. We were headed for Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Boston and Plymouth, MA. The weather was mixed with a lot of cloud, a bit of rain and some sun. No problem crossing the border at Ivy Lea. We arrived in South Yarmouth, MA about 5:30 pm. We had time to look over our room and walk around the hotel several times. At
6:45 we headed off on the bus to a local restaurant for supper. The bus and driver were from Healey Bus Lines of Smith Falls. I had seen him before twice when we used Healey for a couple of bus tours we helped organize in 2005 and 2007. He remembered me. Supper was at the Riverway Restaurant in South Yarmouth, MA. We both had poached salmon. The dessert was tapioca pudding, which I hadn't had for years. Tasted OK but not a super meal. Walked 6.9 km.
Tuesday
Got up about 6 am. Breakfast at 7:15. On the bus by 8:10. This was the day we went to Hyanis, Cape Cod to catch the Hi-Line ferry to Martha's Vineyard. The trip is about 1 hr and 45 minutes each way. Arrived at Oak Bluffs about 11 am. We then took a bus tour down island to see some of the sights and stopped in Edgartown for lunch and a brief shopping session. Lots of tour buses around at this time of year. The weather was breezy in the morning on the boat but we stayed up top. On the island it was quite warm. We had a take out lunch at the Quarterdeck so that
we would have time to look around the town and also look in the stores. Nice place but it must really be busy in the summer months. Got back to Hyanis about 5:45 and then stopped at a liquor store. Out to Christopher's Restaurant for supper. We had chicken francaise. Good! Much better meal than Monday. The entertainment was great. Two guys singing and playing piano, guitar and fiddle. Walked 9.2 km.
Wednesday
Not a good day for weather on Cape Cod. It started raining about 5 am and didn't stop until about noon. The winds were high enough to cancel all whale watching tours from Provincetown, MA. So we toured in Hyanis to St. Francis Xavier Church, the Vietnam Memorial and the Kennedy Memorial. We then travelled up the Cape to the Cape Cod National Seashore Park where we visited the interpretation center. Then we saw Naussett Lighthouse and went down
to the beach. The waves were really rolling in. Then off to Eastham to see the windmill in the rain. We then travelled to Provincetown where we spent the rest of the day. Had a lobster roll for lunch. Very good. Did some shopping. Walked up the Pilgrim Monument, all 168 steps to the top. I really don't like heights. After that we had a ride in the dunes around Provincetown. Interesting ride. Would rather have seen whales. At night we had supper at Michael Shays. I had stuffed pork chop. Nice dessert of chocolate covered ice cream. Much better meal and nicer
atmosphere! Walked 11.9 km.
Thursday
Sunny and mostly clear today. After breakfast we headed off to Boston by the Sagamore Bridge over the Cape Cod Canal. Took a bit longer because of construction. In Boston we first visited the J. F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. It was very well done and it is really worth visiting. Next we headed of to the Back Bay area of Boston for a brief tour and then over to the Charlestown Navy Yard to visit the USS Constitution and museum. We were then dropped off at Quincy Market for 1 1/2 hours. I chose to walk back along the Freedom Trail towards the State
House where I wanted to take some pictures of the statues. I also stopped at the Old Burying Ground to take photos of Winthrop and Dyer tombstones. We were back on the bus by 3:00 pm and we then headed south towards Plymouth to see Plymouth Rock and The Pilgrim Monument. Lots of other things to see there as well. We had about 45 minutes to wander around. Back at South Yarmouth about 6:00 pm where we stopped for a lobster supper at the Lobster Boat
Restaurant. Great meal! Walked 12.1 km.
Friday
Headed home on the bus. Bags out by 7:00 am. Breakfast at 7:00 am. On the bus by 8:00 am. No incidents and the Canadian Customs was fast. We were home by 7:15 pm. Walked 6 km.
Saturday
Sunny but cool today. Rain overnight. Today I went golfing for the first time in about 20 years. It was the day for the Bachelor party for my future son-in-law. We went to the Champlain course in Aylmer, Quebec. The wind was cold and the course was soaking wet. Didn't do too badly hitting the ball! They had a BBQ after. One spot of turf on the golf course was so wet that it looked like a wavy water bed when someone stepped on it. I didn't stay for the evening session. Raked some of the leaves from our trees. Will do more of that on Monday. Walked 14 km.
Sunday
Sunny but cool today. We are having our Thanksgiving dinner today with one of daughters and her fiancee and their two dogs. Our other daughter is away in the US. Walked 5.3 km
