Pictures in Riverside Park

Yesterday after work I went to the park to eat lunch and take a few pictures!

Fun YG Pictures

Yesterday afternoon some members of the YG went bowling in the afternoon (the girls won!) After dinner we went to the YG Mass at St. Mary's in CP.
One our way home we stopped in the park to take a few pictures as the sun set

Victoria, Gabe and Julia

Always have to have a fun picture or two!

Visiting Scott and "The Help"

Last weekend, Mom, Dad, Shawn and I went into Ottawa to see Scott at school. We spent a few hours together going for a nice walk along the Ottawa River.
On our way to the park

Mom and Dad wondering if they can afford to send me to "Le Cordon Bleu . . . It's a VERY expensive cooking school.

The Guys

After we visited with Scott, we went to see "The Help" at the Kanata ACM. Excellent film. I'm going to read the book this week.

Fall is Coming . . .

The leaves are starting to change color, people have gone back to school and returned to their daily routines. My days have been filled with work, taking care of my 14 laying hens and spending time with my family, friends and wonderful cousins. Fall is my favorite time of year . . I love seeing how much the trees have changed as I drive to and from work. Life is good. I feel blessed.
Today Mom, Aunt Gwen, Natalie, Leah and I went to Westport to do some sightseeing and shopping. It was their first time in Westport. On our way there we stopped at Brown's Shoe Outlet outside of Perth. Between the four of us we bought 10 pairs of shoes . . . Mom didn't buy any.... Waiting to get our lunch

Mom and Aunt Gwen

Scott went back to OttawaU this year. He is taking Viola Performance. He made the switch over from violin this summer and is really enjoying the change. He is living in the same place as last year. Miss him already.

An Interesting Sight

This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You can also see the sun below the moon - not a common sight!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers! I thought this little cartoon was cute, out of the mouth of babes....

I love everything about fall (except all the excessive rain that we have been having) and this Thanksgiving weekend has been absolutely beautiful! We had a few things happening this weekend, first a wedding...

Here in order is - Elisa, Scott, Me, Chris, Jared and Shawn in front. Their Mom came too but there Dad was away for the weekend. It was a joy to have them!
