Merry Friday!
It's snowing !!!
I woke up to a light dusting this morning which turned to brown slush quite quickly. Currently we have a light fall but mixed with rain unfortunately. It's not the clean fluffy snowfall you can enjoy but still it's nice to watch.
We are below freezing at the moment and I am struggling with coughing and breathing. My asthma inhaler doesn't seem to be helping.
It is nice to have some snowfall this time of year
Well have a great Friday everyone!

How exciting!!! I hope to get to see some tomorrow. Just hard to imagine when it's 72º today. LOL!
Enjoy the snow!! I hope you feel better my friend!
Enjoy your day Martine! Hope you can catch that nap!
TGIF, Christmas friends!
I'm at work for a few more hours, then we're getting on the road for the mountains! I had almost decided to cancel the trip because of my aunt's funeral, but the family insisted that we not cancel Elizabeth's birthday trip. They were very sweet about it, so mom is staying home for the funeral instead of going with us. Aunt Versie & Uncle Doyt had been married 75 years!! She married him when she was 18, and she was 93 when she passed. Wow. And he's still a very healthy man at 98.
Anyway, I'm getting Elizabeth and her cousin out of school early today for the trip. Jacob is staying behind. He's getting to old and too cool to vacation with the family. LOL
I hope y'all have a great day!

Have a great Friday!
The cornucopia looks great!! Enjoy your weekend!Good morning MMC! Happy, Happy Friday!!! Looking forward to the weekend, though it will be a busy one!
After work yesterday I met Jim at the lake & we blew out the water lines at the trailer. Kind of sad, but that was the warmest it has ever been doing that job!Mom wanted me to pick up some beer & pop b/c she had people coming over last night, so I did that & dropped it off there - ended up staying longer than planned. OOPS! I got home & made the cornucopia, I baked bacon for the Thanksgiving 7 layer salad, then I made Holiday Bacon Appetizers for the Thanksgiving party on Sunday. The house smelled amazing. A high school friend stopped in unexpectedly - she WATCHED me make the cornucopia. LOL! It was a good night but still lots to do before the big day!
High of 72º predicted for today & a high of 40º with snow predicted for tomorrow O-H-I-O!
Everyone, have a great day!
Here is the cornucopia - I used the homemade breadstick dough. Looks a little rough from the side but that can be covered up with cheese chunks & grapes.

Merry Friday...another week is gone!! I am getting excited for Thanksgiving.
Yesterday we get some bad news....my MIL broke 4 bones in her foot. She was out for a walk on a trail with my FIL and their dog. She slipped on some leaves and fell so they are not going to come for Thanksgiving because she cannot put any weight on it at all. She is having surgery on 12/2 to put pins in it. We offered to move it to her house but she said No so we told her will come to her house on Friday with leftovers.
Not up too much this weekend. Just a basketball game and I have a jewelry party on Saturday night at a friend's house.
Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Friday Martine...hope you get a nap in today. Also, hope your father feels better!
Good morning, everyone!
I hope you're all enjoying Friday thus far. It was a little foggy on my early drive to Ottawa this morning. I had to coach volleyball practice at 7:30. It was really fun. The girls seemed to enjoy themselves and showed decent improvement for our second practice.
Currently, temperatures are a little chilly despite the sunshine. It should be warming up, though, as temperatures should be around 14c/54f this afternoon. Still much warmer than normal.
I have an easy day of teaching today. There are three super easy French classes. I don't speak much French, but the students here at Russell know that. They are good with it. After teaching, I will be heading to Toronto with my old roommate Mike. He's going to stay with his family just outside of Toronto, I am going to stay at a friend's place downtown. My friend and I will be going to a concert tonight and tomorrow night. Mike and I will be meeting up tomorrow evening with his friend and heading to a wrestling event. We're pretty excited! It's going to be a fun-filled weekend. I've really been looking froward to this for quite some time!
The first weekend of the Christmas Season is nearly here. I hope to find a few Blossoms-worthy photos while in Toronto. I know that my friend and I are going to the Distillery District in Toronto, and I believe it has just decorated and illuminated itself for the Season. I'm sure that will look beautiful tomorrow afternoon (despite it being daylight).
Have a great Friday, everyone! Keep enjoying the joys that the Christmas Season brings! Merry Christmas!!
