Marilyn Monroe and me

I was just minding my own business at the Zoomer show in Toronto when an "old friend" dropped by. It was a fun day with the 6-pack in our mini-van. First the men's breakfast with my historical club showing videos from the 1920's through 50's films, then off to the Zoomers Show in Toronto, back to a lovely sumptuous church beef dinner, and finally out to friends for a glass of wine. A very full day indeed, and Marilyn here was a cute distraction.

David and Goliath

ShoppersOct30

Here is an interesting story of David and Goliath. The Goliath that you see here is the new Shoppers Drug mart being built right at the heart of the main intersection in our historic town. It is enormous. The picture above is a very small store with the sign Pharmacy Opening Soon. These stores are just a hundred yards apart in a very small town. Oddly enough where the little store is locating, a hundred and fifty years ago, a patent medicine factory was once producing drugs. How ironic.  It will be interesting to see if the little David can last.

The Wrist Shot

Aiden was playing street hockey in our driveway with me.
Other good news. .. Aiden has made it onto the U8 soccer team for next year. He will be learning new soccer skills one night a week to prepare for next season.

Amber Visits

Amber is our oldest grandchild. She lived with us for 8 and a half years and at times was quite close to us. After a few years of separation we are happy to have her back in our lives again. Monday was a PA day so she had the day to visit with us - what better way than to go shopping with Wenda. At the same time, Lexy found that same leaf pile in front of her house and decided to pull the leaves around to form her little castle.

Leaf Boy

Part of the leaf gathering activities yesterday. Just part of celebrating Fall and what kids do in this season. Of course for adults all those leaves on the ground have a much different expectation. Now wouldn't you rather be the kid jumpingin the leaves! !

Fall Leaves

Aiden and Quinten raked up all the leaves on the front yard so that they could make a leaf pile for jumping. Can you tell its fun times when Papa babysits?

I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE...

I was on a training session for the next election today. I even sat in the mayor's chair. When I finished and returned to my car, I saw this beautiful tree with moss on it. I just had to take a picture.
