Nov 5, 2013

I always thought I was a light sleeper. I could always hear the girls coming in after a night out. Last night however I didn't hear the commotion 1 street over. A detached garage caught on fire around 11:30 pm. A neighbour on his way home from work seen the smoke and alerted authorities. The fire was contained to the garage and some heat damage to neighbouring fences. No injuries. I read about it in our local online newspaper.

Switching gears, I have never liked having my photo taken, I feel like a deer in the headlights when it's a formal pose and most family snapshots are anything but flattering.  Well we had a photo session in Calgary this past June with one of Aaron's co-workers whose sideline is photography. She is also a techie and photoshopped most of the pictures to the point I didn't recognize us. However this one seems the most au naturel one and I love it. It was almost a candid shot as we were finishing up the posed ones.


I hope you have a marvellous day doing what you love to do!

August 27,2013

The garden is looking sad as the leaves yellow and blooms drop. Summer is quickly turning into autumn despite what the calendar says. I'm enjoying the cool freshness of the mornings. I am not a heat seeking gal!



Last week was the 60th birthday of a friend.  Her husband was away on business but had made reservations for the four of us Saturday afternoon.  They had been to The Melting Pot once before and it was our first time.  We were not disappointed!  We each had the 4 Course Experience and our server was incredible!  They did warn us it would be a big meal. I underestimated how big. Next time I'll wear my 'turkey pants'! 

It was a wonderful evening of laughs and friendship.  Happy Birthday my friend!
