Recently Eric and I went for our first walk of the season on Alix Nature Trail. The trees had leaf buds, but most of them hadn't opened yet. Still it was a lovely walk with lots of wildlife on Alix Lake, and a few fun surprises for all to enjoy. 😄

Eric and I didn't even notice that we matched today, but at least three of our friends at Costco called us on it. Colleen the bread lady even took a photo for us. 'Gotta love our Red Deer Costco! 😄

HAPPY WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS/ACCEPTANCE DAY! I told Eric he could pick a special treat to mark the day. So after his Sobey's shift, he perused their bakery section and ended up bringing home a piece of chocolate fudge cake. I've also made one of his favourite suppers for tonight, tortellini and shrimp. :D

Eric and I had a terrific time tonight at the Lacombe Sobeys staff Christmas party. Fantastic food, and great company! Eric has been stocking shelves at Sobeys for over 15 months now, and the staff are friendly, relaxed and comfortable with him. Owners Lorianne and Doug are a treasure!

This past Sunday Eric did his usual awesome job of assembling our Christmas tree all by himself. He's been hanging about 20 or 25 ornaments on it each afternoon this week. I asked him what his favourite tree ornament is. He showed me this gold star. Despite the fact that he prefers MANY things to stay the same throughout the years (not uncommon for an autistic person), the choice of his favourite ornament is different each year. 😊 🎄

Oooh! Further to my last post, here's a bonus photo taken by one of Eric's aides at the recognition event last week and shared with me. Love it!

Recently we attended a lovely event put on by our service provider, Lacombe Action Group. They do this Recognition and Awards Celebration yearly. There's a delicious buffet lunch, and then they recognize both clients and staff. This year Eric was recognized for being with Action Group for 10 years! So I took the opportunity to get some photos. Dani presented Eric with his certificate and gift card. At the photo booth I got a fun picture of Eric, and one of him and his truly awesome aides, Aleshia and Michelle. ❤️

Check out my latest article, The Art of Creating a Meaningful Life, in the Autism Around Alberta newsletter from Autism Society Alberta. It will give you a bit of a snapshot of Eric's daily life. 😊 Here's the link: https://mailchi.mp/autismalberta/fall2025?e=1176239f7e

On Saturdays (which we call 'Fun Day'), Eric and his aide Michelle participate in activities and events throughout Central Alberta. Sometimes the outings I find for them are a hit, occasionally not. It's difficult to know how Eric will perceive an event when he gets there. This was a smaller Comic Con. I showed him photos ahead of time on their website, and he said yes, he would like to go. They drove an hour and 15 minutes each way. Eric was in and out in 10 minutes. Oh well, better luck next time. 😅 🧙‍♂️👽🦸‍♂️

Eric does work experience at the Lacombe Sobeys two afternoons a week. I recently went in there to shop, and caught him and his aide Aleshia by surprise. He loves working there. And doesn't he look awesome in his Sobey's t-shirt? 😁
