What are you planning this month? November feels like an in-between zone to me. The pumpkins and candy part of fall is over in Calgary, but it’s not really the holidays yet (even if it seems like Christmas is exploding everywhere!). If it snows, we can start some winter sporting fun, but it might just be cold! That’s okay, we’ll stay flexible, see what comes, and find something terrific to do with our families!
