That's when he's wearing his invisible halo, he's not always so sweet. We love him anyway.

Good Morning, Everyone!

Have you seen it yet? Signs of our favourite time of the year are slowly popping up everywhere! I hope you've been keeping a close watch. Experiencing such a sight brings a feeling like no other... and it happens every year! Soon, we won't have to look far to see Christmas everywhere!

Thankfully, we have the countdown to tell us just how long we have to wait. Let's take a look and see where we're at today!:
Days to the Season: 54
Days to Christmas Day: 96

If that does not sound close enough for you, we are now UNDER a week away from the 3/4 Milestone Marker to Christmas Day. FIVE days away, to be exactly. It is yet another reason to circle a Friday on your calendars!

It was a chilly evening last night. The winds howled slightly as I walked home from a friend's house. It seemed as if the temperature dropped 20c (or about 36f) from the daytime high. Brr!

Not much has changed for this morning. It is currently 11c/52f. Highs in Canada's Capital are to only reach 18c/64f. It may be a late beginning this year, but Autumn, will indeed be here on Wednesday!

Let's all hope that Crown has a safe trip to check on his cottage. Hopefully the weather is a little warmer on the coast then all the way up here in Ottawa!

Well, folks, I must go and watch Kim's nephews football game for the third week in a row. It's fun to see the little guys play! And, right, now, they are 4-0! Hopefully have as much fun today as they did last week. What a game!

With that, I hope you all enjoy yourselves today. Hopefully Christmas is inching closer to you by the second! Have a Super Sunday, everyone!!

Good evening,

Very traumatic day, a woman collapsed at work today while she was shopping, I walked out of the back and saw her laying on the floor. I called the emergency code , the assistant manager came over and started performing cpr immediately. 911 was called, the man performing cpr revived her twice, and the emt's revived her once. It was the worst and scariest thing I have ever seen. The worst part was other shoppers were yelling and swearing at the employees for closing off that area, they "needed" stuff in that area for their shopping lists. It was sickening what these people were saying while a woman lay there possibly dying. Good news is the last we heard the woman was alert at the hospital.
Other employees went home early, as lots of nerves were frayed, I am still quite shaken.

Just need to relax and calm down.

Goodnight, everyone.

I can only imagine how nerve wracking that was (((hugs)))
I have no words in regards to the shoppers that were annoyed. I don't know what's wrong with some people.
I hope you slept well xmas and have a nice Sunday.

Merry Sunday.

I will be going into work soon. It will be a challenge today as I am not feeling all that great but I'll be ok though.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Keeping you in my thoughts Sam, hope your day goes well. Feel better.

Decided I'm going to The PEANUTS movie when it gets to town.

I was out of town to deliver a workshop yesterday and it went great. I was a bit brain tired when I got home so I just relaxed with my husband and the cat and then was watching some TV when my husband woke me and I went to bed at 8 p.m. That's a tad early - slept until 4:30. BIG SLEEP.

Gonna give my mom a shout in a few hours and see if she wants to do something tomorrow since I have the day off. This afternoon I was hoping to do a wee bit of shopping.

The cooler weather has arrived, but the afternoons have still been a bit warm and I like it this way. Didn't have to turn the fans on last night.

Having corn on the cob (finally) with real butter (forget margarine when it comes to corn) and hamburger patties with diced peppers for dinner.

Good morning AMD!
Glad to hear the workshop went well!
I hope you have a Happy Sunday!

So sorry that you had to go through that experience. And very sorry that you had to see people acting so selfishly. The 21st century is all about "me" and "instant gratification" sometimes. It's a reminder to hold strong to that spark of humankindness that's inside, and let it shine as often as possible.

Good morning everyone, Happy Sunday!
I'm just having my coffee and relaxing, it's quiet here this morning. Everyone will be waking up soon, the girls all have to work today. I'm looking forward to a relaxing day, yesterday was kind of hectic. I'm going to see if my husband wants to take a ride with me to pick up some pumpkins and mums for the front of the house.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I need to pick up some more mums, mine aren't doing so well, with the hot weather we had. Darn beetles have found them, as well.
Hope you & your family have a wonderful day!!

Wow, very scary! Glad to hear she's doing better. And yes, some folks shouldn't be allowed out in public.

I see you snapped the horses for me. I have a pre-lit tree that needs replacing. My parents have a corner tree, but you can't tell that it doesn't go all away around. Once it's adorned with decorations, it's beautiful.

I took those pictures specifically for you!

A corner tree would be great to save room. I bet it is beautiful!

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

I failed to rouse the family in time for church, so I"m out on the deck with Lulu. She's protecting me from all the predatory squirrels in the yard.

We're going to mama's for lunch, then back on the tractor at Jacob's hunting plot.

I hope y'all have a great day!

That is terrible how people reacted!!!

Several years ago I gave blood then went to the grocery store and passed out on one of the aisle. Thankfully Wayne was with me. I had a time getting up and was in and out. They did block off the aisle but I had concerned shoppers asking about me, no one was rude. I was actually real embarrassed and as I would come to I told them to let people shop and how I felt bad for the aisle being blocked. I was more worried about the shoppers than myself but no one was rude. They did call the paramedics but I ended being okay and went home. I had passed out on aisle 5 and all I could see is boxes of cereal when I was alert. Now Wayne and I joke about "clean up on aisle 5" and sometimes laugh just seeing the cereal aisle. I was way more embarrassed than anything else. I was fine, just passed out from giving blood!

I feel terrible what that lady went through and people showing no compassion. How sad! Glad to hear she is okay now! Thank God they had you and your other employees to save her!
