I’m Smiling!

World Smile Day Falls on the 1st Friday of October.

Today I am full of smiles. You see next week my sweetie has a week vacation BUT what I didn’t know was that he starts that vacation TODAY! Yes, he’s home today having coffee this morning with me while we both do our morning catch up on the computer and then…

a trip to the market for some Fall decor.

A delicious lunch…chicken apple soup with a hint of curry and biscuits, we picked up at the market

and maybe…a little adventure today.

It’s such a gorgeous day for the long weekend and start of our vacay.

And Abby was all smiles because she went in the car to spend the day with Nana & Papa

A perfect day!!! 😀 Keep Smiling!

 

Advance Polls

It’s not only election time in the USA this fall, BUT it is Municipal and School board elections in Nova Scotia this month, October 15th to be exact.

TODAY the advance polls open! It’s time to vote!

And before I did anything this morning, from the comfort of my living room in my Pj’s…I voted!

Oh, and by the way… my Abby Girl is 9 today!

Hard to believe this little one fit in a Timbit box…

 

 

Community

I live in a small town on the east coast of Canada. Bridgewater is on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Bridgewater is surrounded by interesting communities and special places, I think so anyway. I never get tired of exploring. All through the year there are special events, suppers, auctions, festivals, markets, and just fun things to attend…community things. Things that bring people closer.

Next week we have some time to explore and we plan to do some fun day trips. But what I really enjoy is being able to drive just 15-20 minutes to enjoy some of these great things.

Like… the “Annual Visitors” that come to Mahone Bay this time of year

Or a stop in Lunenburg for a quick walk along the waterfront and to get a treat one last time before this sweet shop closes for the season

And a home cooked meal at a local firehall in the community where we used to live and chance to catch up with some old friends

This is community and some of the many things we enjoy.

Have a great day!

Leaf Watch!

I am officially on leaf watch! The colours are really starting to pop in our part of Canada. It probably is helped by the frosty mornings we have been having the last few days ( I don’t want to put the heat on yet)

Just in time for the Thanksgiving weekend and…David just needs to get through this week and he has a week vacation. A perfect time for us to do some day trips and chance to capture the beauty of the leaves!
