Happy Samhain

Happy Halloween and Happy Samhain to all! I hope you have a wonderful day! Tonight remember to walk around with Jack and his lantern. Light a fire, eat an apple and welcome the new year!

Bright Blessings

Turkey Day

So turkey day finally arrived. Josh tricked me into peeling potatoes before I had my first cup of coffee...that was the trick...no coffee, I wasnt quite aware of what I was agreeing to! HA! Just kidding, but I did peel 8 pounds of potatoes...and mashed them. But Kristina and I did a bunch of the cooking and Cary brought the turnips and a fabulous squash maple bisque.

So here is the group chatting and drinking before the meal. Since it was so beautiful, we actually got to sit outside.


Here is the beautiful table that Aunt Linda set. Kristina did the flowers...and she says she cant arrange flowers. To this I say PISH!


And now for some family...why are you taking a picture of me, can't you see I am trying to eat..shots!

Hanging Out Canadian Style

Before there was turkey...there was hanging out! So here are some pics of us bums bumming around.


Wendell has found a new sport...mountain climbing!

We made it!

Well, we made it into Toronto safely and soundly! On friday we had a wonderful time hanging out with the grandparents. They took us to lunch and shopping...I just love to be fed and clothed! It was great spending some time with them. Then we headed off to the Bookies. On the way into Toronto, there was a full moon next to the CN Tower, so I grabbed a couple of not terrible shots.


Then it was time for mad celebration of Aunt Linda's Birthday and massive admiration of her new diamond ring...which well all promptly tried to steal...'cause that is just the type of family we are!

Yes, we were actually there!

Finally, here are some pics of Dave and I at the falls. Some nice woman took our picture. Oh wait...that nice woman was me!! HAHAHAHA! No, just kidding. A very nice woman did take our picture so that people would believe that we actually did go somewhere together! HA!

Going over in a barrel!

Dave pondered, on the way to the falls, "why do people want to go over them in a barrel? or in anything for that matter. I just dont get that desire." Well, after a close up look, we get that desire. The falls are just amazing...and looking over the edge...some part of you does want to go over in something bouyant!

Niagra at Sunrise

Here are the pics of the sunrise! This was magnificient! I was completely blown away...and I never wanted to leave. Especially because the hotel room had a bathtub big enough for four! So I made sure to go swimming in it before we left! But how much more beautiful can you get!

View from a Window.

The drive up to Canada was beautiful. The leaves are all turning...although Massachusetts seemingly has the best color, but peak is this weekend, NY and Toronto have another week or 2 before peek. But beautiful none-the-less. This is a pic from the truck while we were driving.

The first night we stayed in Niagra. When we were driving in, the sun was setting and a full moon was rising. In the morning, the sun rose over the falls and right into our room! It was amazing!

Here is the view from the room.
