Wordless Wednesday

Look who tried to come to supper? I was BBQing on the deck this is just beside the crop Circle.

One Hour of me time left to my Random Tuesday thoughts

well look at that after a random october Holiday we have here a Tuesday.

I think I am stuffed from leftovers. oops! I thought everyone liked apple crisp, turns out it's just me and TJ. well apples are healthy right? Tell me it's not all bad there was only 1 cup of brown sugar in that dessert.

We finally threw out our summer inflatable slide and pool. Yep, summer is over.

The boys left with long Johns, mini gloves and winter jackets today. brrrrrr -1C cold mornings.

The sun is now out. I went for a small walk, I should have walked further really.


Today is the last day of my second sale with Avon. It's going ok, it's almost fun.


I wish I had better thing to randomly ramble about.


No snow here, I did hear there was HAIL in NY? I guess I should be happy it wasn't here.


Last week of cross country Running for my mralmost 9. YAY! That's it for standing in the cold on a Wednesday afternoon, or the heat, it could be hot out there the beginning.


It's taking all my will power to do the dishes, laundry and not just eat my way through all the Thanksgiving leftover. There was turkey, and stuffing, and potatoes too. Im not going to discuss why it says "was".


I should get back to the weight watching more seriously, I did go walking lastnight, that helps.

The tomatoes Mr5 planted this summer are done, we threw the dirt and dead plant over the fence into the bck woods. Job's Done. We also harvested 1 average size potato, but the boys cracked it in two. I told them to put it back in teh ground, maybe if it doesn't rot and freeze first it will come back next year.


Also one of the older boys had to do a project about himself, he made this to represent some of what is "him"since he's got that born to be president or prime minster thing going for him...
I thought maybe he should have added a maple leaf in there? I can't believe it made all those stars.

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

I started this post yesterday but Thankfully, my children saw the need to take my USB cable. Thankfully because I spent the day with them, slaving in the kitchen to produce this!!!
(poor guy didn't have a chance after I invited him to dinner)
Thankfully everyone helped.  Hubbie made bread crumbs from bread while I was at mass. AJ finished the job because instead of 8 pieces Hubbie heard 5.
MJ went to the store with AJ and Daddy to get peanut butter because what is a house without peanut butter. (also I needed to concentrate on the turkey)


I'm thankful for Superstore for letting me buy a turkey at "regular" price while it was on sale and having me go back to the store to get my money back. I loved the way they implied it was "my" mistake that they over charged me for my 4.94kg Turkey.(difference of 6.45canadian dollars) Thank you for doing your own leg work after me standing at your customer Service Counter for 15minutes (you said it was 10? really who is the customer, I said it was 20minutes, let's meet in the middle?). Thank you for finally giving me the difference in price, even after your mistake which according to store policy is to refund me the full price of the defrosting bird.(thank you for letting me use run on sentences) I could have brought him back to the store in his 1/2 frozen state. He was tasty after I plucked out the leftover feathers that Presidents Choice neglected to remove before bagging it in a GRADE A package, with the fine print that reads "graded before adding gibblets". (CYA statements?)


Thank to TJ for staying home from the trip to the Peanut Butter store (not Superstore btw) and helping me basted the turkey by reminding me when the time came. I think he just wanted to open the store repeatedly to smell Turkey doing his thing.


Thank you for Canada for having a holiday this weekend, and not leaving us out of that Columbus Day party down south. It's a great excuse for a turkey and visiting family and friends.



Thank you earth for growing Carrots and for the person that invented vegetable peelers. I can't imagine how many fingers I'd have lost or how much carrot and potatoes would be left if I had to resort to the knife plan.

Thank you Tenderflake, Sheriff and Goodine's Poultry Farm for helping me achieve Lemon Meringue success. I'd hate to have to go to SS to buy a Pie after that turkey price fiasco.

Thank You all for reading my rambling posts, about life and days here.

Happy Thanksgiving Canadians! And for my US readers and family, I'll do this again in November but I'll buy my Turkey elsewhere.

(sorry if you are getting this repeatedly, my pictures aren't lining up)
