Thanksgiving and Birthdays


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Owen and I are going to Chatham today to spend the day with family. Instead of the traditional turkey we are having potluck. As long as we are together that's all that matters. Of course with all mom's grandchildren getting older most of them won't be there. They are either at school or working. We have a day of togetherness, food and games planned, I can't wait.


I am thankful for:

God's love and mercy

my mom

my children and my grandchildren

that my sister's surgery went well

I have a good job with an understanding boss

that I live in Canada

that I have good friends

my car (without it I wouldn't be able to go to Chatham)


I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't forget to remember what you are thankful for.

Happy Birthday to all of you.

Perry and Amberley came here last night, so we played Settlers and Trivia Pursuit. Amberley won Settlers, I had 7 points but it wasn't enough to win. We played on teams for Trivia Pursuit, Perry & I were on one team, Amberley & Owen were on the other team. Both teams had all six pies, so it was a matter of who got to the centre first and answered the question right. Amberley & Owen won the game. Between the 4 of us we actually answered a lot of questions. It was a lot of fun.

I have been trying to learn the ins and outs of my DSLR camera. So I have gone out to the country to take pictures, here are some of them.
This heron was in a farmer's field, no water in sight.
