I hope that all you Canadians are going to ensure you get out to vote today.
The statistics I read state that the number of persons registered to vote in the whole of Canada are less than the population of Toronto!
Come on people! So many gave up so much to fight for our right to vote, to have a say and if you are going to throw that away, you are giving up some of your freedom!
If you want to continue to live in a country where you have a say, ensure you vote today!

The Weekend Before Thanksgiving!
I am not sure about you but I love Thanksgiving Weekend!
The fall weather, and the colours the trees and flowers display.
I loved listening to the children passing and giggling as they walked to school, unfortunately these days the children are still passing by but I hear no sound but their feet dragging while they trip along with their faces stuck in their phones.
I really don't know what it is going to take for people to open their eyes and realize that life is passing them by, God's beauty is all around us and it is being ignored along with our loved ones.
I was reading the news the other day and a woman was fiddling with her phone while her 2 year old was crushed by a car.
How terrible for her, I will keep her in my prayers
Take away a lesson from this tragedy...put the phone away and pay attention to your loved ones as well as to life going on around you and the blessings in your life.

Auction Site Love!
I have been frequenting auction sites on Facebook for the last couple of months and have managed to get 3/4 of my Christmas shopping completed!
While I was on there I fell in love with a set of wall hangings that reminded me of an jewellery box I had as a child that was burned up in the fire when our house burned down.
When I told my Mother that I had won the auction for them she immediately offered up 1/2 the money and told me it was my Christmas gift early!
Well I have yet to hand them up but had to share a picture of these beauties.
The photograph is from the auction site where I purchased them.
They found a good home and will be treasured!

Have you ever purchased something solely due to it reminding you of a lovely memory from your childhood?

Fall is coming !
With Fall soon coming, I decided to make a recipe I have made for the last couple of years. It is definitely a comfort food.
I have Reeni over at Cinnamon And Spice And Everything Nice to thank for this fall go to recipe!
It is lovely, filling and just disappears way too darn fast!

First Day of School
Today being the first day of school in grade one for my granddaughter I can't believe that the years are flying by so quickly!
I know she is looking forward to seeing all of her friends from the last few years .
Today is also her Daddy's birthday and she put in a request for a specific birthday gift for him from her.
It took a bit of looking but found exactly what she wanted to get him...a Batman watch!
I can't wait to see the expression on his face when he opens it.
I believe I mentioned before about him whispering in her ear as a newborn "I am Batman"
hoping that would be her first words...close lol.
Father's Day she got him a t-shirt that said "I am Batman" and now this watch, seems she likes Batman almost as much as he does !
The temperatures here have been soaring and I have been spending as much time in the air conditioning as humanly possible.
What have you been doing to keep cool during this heatwave?

Online Auction Addiction
It seems that I have an addiction to online auctions!
I actually have spent the last 2 weeks bidding on different things and have most of my Christmas shopping done.
Not only do I have most of my Christmas shopping done I have gotten some great deals on signed print artwork, collector plates with authentication certificates and jewellery at amazing prices!
I know I will soon have to stop purchasing due to space issues....guess I could always rent a storage locker :p
