High River, south of Calgary in Alberta had a gorgeous warm, sunny Autumn. Now, we are having a beautiful white and blue winter, so far. We back onto the Highwood River. My summer pictures from the deck with my laptop laid out designing Bridge lessons. So, here with the sun on my back from the South, seeing the deck I write from.

Now I am looking out the window designing a new series for January, Constructive Bidding 401, using a book from a local Calgary author, Stephen Paul. Website is in comments.

I am grateful to the contractors laying out the fiber optic cable throughout High River. The workers are close to being finished, they say their dream is to finish by Christmas. Hope my streaming improves!
