In Rememberance and Thank you

I borrowed this picture from a friend on FaceBook. Here in Canada we use the Poppy as a symbol of Remembrance of our fallen soldiers of our fight in WWI and now any war after.  The Poem in Flanders Fields is used in almost all Remembrance Ceremonies, John McCrae didn't forget his friend.

The idea is that we will not forget but when you look around today? Have we really forgotten? Are we not currently still in a war.  It seems as if we haven't remembered that war comes at a price, that the fighting is continuing, in a different time and maybe a different place.  Canada's Troops are still trying to balance peace keeping and surviving. I don't even know the numbers of Canadian Men and Women that have died, I'm not sure I want to know. I do know that living here close to a Military Community it's hard to ignore.

So Today I say Thank you! to those that fought before, and for those that fight and negotiate today for Peace on Earth.   Today at 11am, I saw that my boys do value these men and women and families,  my house was quiet, my boys were listening to the Radio for 2minutes of Silence. My family is still Remembering will you?

Random Tuesday Thoughts Boys, TV,no TV,Somedays....

Yep it's Tuesday, the boys are watching some old Simpson's DVDs because we don't have TV? I'm a bit nervous that the youngest one will get some ideas? but he's been to school, and that place has already taught him more words than a week away at camp.


Well atleast I'm amused and it's not mindless Preschool TV.



Grab a Button, add some Random to your blogs.

Anyone else ready for Christmas? I did take out some Christmas Candles last week when putting away some Halloween ones and I think getting the tree up before December might happen now that the boys are all in school. I can even do it MY way? maybe.


I've been feeding my neighbours cats this week, the minute I come in the house? they all DART for the cat doors. Only one stays or comes back in when they hear the food dish being filled.

I think I may be coming down from the Halloween Sugar surge. It's a slow process. I think this calls for more protein in the house.

Hummus can be addictive. Hummus plus Nachos more addictive.

I think the boys are going to fall asleep before supper, this fall back stuff is not so great for the internal clock. Mr5 has a cold, Mr9 missed school today for a headache and stomach ache and he broke his glasses. I need to make a new appointment for a Check up and maybe new prescription? they look tiny on his face. Who said the kids could grow?

Found out this week my land does actually have a limit, I don't own ALL the trees, Darn! Plus side I don't own the bears space either. Well the space where he walked through the yard yes, but not far behind the lazy fence.


This Random really isn't much this week. I guess I'll have to do something interesting next week?
