Andrew’s wife pulled it off! She surprised Andrew, our oldest son for his 28th Birthday!
His Birthday is today, November 15th, but they are working today, so Sunday night she took him to pizza delight to celebrate. Unbeknown to him family and friends would also be there!
Surprise!
Happy 28th Andrew! Wait…How can my boy be 28?
Today is the Biggest and brightest supermoon in over 60 years!! (supposedly)
You’ve heard me say before I wish I had a camera that could capture the moon in a way that it’s as real as gazing up at it! I LOVE full moons. When I look at them I know friends and family all over this world are looking too, and it’s the same moon and somehow…it just brings us a little closer together.
Here are a few of my favourites that other wonderful local photographers shared.
One of my favourite photographers captured these two in Halifax this morning…
And of course one from China. This photograph is from Beijing BUT it really reminds me of the bridges in the park where I always walked when we lived there. See…same Supermoon!
Thank you so much to these wonderful photographers. Your talent and ability is awesome, so we all can enjoy this spectacular beauty! Don’t forget to look up!
It’s that time of year…. November…when it’s cold…Brr…normally.
BUT TODAY WAS GORGEOUS!!!!
Time to get some family pics done for our Annual Family picture.
This year’s location…the beach! Crescent Beach, one of my absolute favourite places to go. And this year we took the dogs. It’s nice to have them in the pics too, at least every other year.
These are just the fun ones from my iPhone. James does our “Annual Pic” and that one I will post December 1st. I just really hope he got something we can use. It was fun because the dogs wanted to play and the sun was shining and to get 6 people and 3 dogs all looking at the same time and when the photographer needs to be in the picture too… haha…we shall see!
Another Saturday morning of cleaning up leaves and they are still not all down! We did a quick clean and I started just a little Christmas decor…I’m anxious but…
There is a “Guy Show” at Exhibition Park this weekend and “the guys” thought they would like to check it out. BUT, it’s more than a guy thing so Kristina & I went too!
There is a Guy Show PLUS a Christmas Craft Fair at the same place so we thought it would be fun to check out and do a little shopping too.
Who wants to spend their whole Saturday working in the yard, that was so last week haha, And besides… David & I love to hang out with our kids ( missing one)
Today we REMEMBER and say THANK YOU!!!
WOW! I honestly didn’t see that coming!
I am Canadian so it is not my decision BUT America has spoken and Donald Trump is their choice for a new leader as the 45th President of the United States. I believe History was made last night ( and I am SO TIRED as I stayed awake to watch it)
All I can say is no matter who is leader, I truly believe there is a bigger picture, a HIGHER power, who is Ultimately in control of ALL things!
It will be interesting as we see things play out in the coming days…
Wishing you a good Wednesday!
…for our neighbours south of the border.
THE day is FINALLY here!!! We have been hearing about the USA Presidential election for OVER a year here in Canada. I can only imagine what the news has been in the United States.
Today is a big day… when the decision is made for a new president. It is HUGE! I honestly have to say that I am extremely thankful to be Canadian, especially today. I honestly wouldn’t know what to do! My heart would want to vote a certain way BUT then to look at the representation of that vote…ugh….why has it come to this? I am thinking and praying for my dear family and friends that are Americans and who must decide today.
Today’s decision will impact more than just the United States of America.
It’s the first evening after the time change from Daylight Savings time. And…it’s dark out SO EARLY!!!!!!
I guess it’s time to settle in and enjoy the next number of months cozy inside. Reading, catching up on your favourite shows, exercise, puzzles, maybe a new hobby? The evenings are long.
We had lunch with my Mom & Dad today. Dad’s knee seems to be recovering nicely. It’s been 2 months since his knee replacement. Abby loves going there and made sure she had some quality time with both of them.
David stopped in to see his Mom & Dad. They are headed out this week to see family on their Annual trek to Florida. They’ll stop in Ontario a bit and then on to South Carolina for American Thanksgiving before arriving at their “Winter Home” in Cortez at the end of November.
It’s that time of year…time to settle in!
Have a great week!
The leaves aren’t all down yet…
…so more than likely we’ll have to do it again, BUT today we cleaned out the gardens and put the furniture away. The time goes back an hour this weekend and so days are shorter. It’s easier and we have more time to do this clean up on a Saturday. David has been quickly running over the lawn with the mower after work to bag the leaves, but the gardens needed a little extra…getting in there on hands and knees and raking and cutting off the dead stuff, and pruning a few limbs. It’s always a bit sad to put the furniture away but I really do enjoy all the distinct seasons we have here.
It’s was little bit cold this morning ( there was frost) to do this but I wore a hat and lots of layers and I was really thankful I made soup so we could have a good bowl of delicious soup for lunch to warm up! Yummy Acorn Squash soup!
This afternoon wasn’t as bad when we tackled the backyard, it seemed to warm up a bit. We got all the furniture put away ( I left a few wooden pieces out) and all the gardens cut back. Like I said…we will have to do it again I’m sure because the leaves aren’t all down, and we also need to put up Christmas lights at some point. It’s just so nice to get out on a warmer November day to do the bulk of it!
Hope you’re enjoying your Saturday! Remember…a little extra sleep tonight! Turn your clocks back.
