Goodbye November.

The end of the month. It was

a lovely month, full of many

adventures. I couldn't pass this

graphic up and hope you love it!

My Birthday.

A beautiful ice cream cake from DQ.

Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard ~ my favorite!

A lovely collection of gifts from my dear family.

White chocolate from Purdy's, a white chocolate

Kit Kat (bit of a theme here), the Christmas edition

of The English Home, along with the annual insert,

a bag of my favorite sour candies and a pair of soft

slipper socks to wear on cold Winter nights. Not

shown is the amazing heating pad that dh found.

It's as long as my body, heats from top to bottom

and is also a massager. We had quite a bit of fun

going thru all the settings and killing ourselves

laughing! Dh is always trying to find ways for my

body to be warm as I'm always cold. Thankful for

his kind heart and creative gift giving. I wish I was

as creative but he is easy to please. Loved my day!

Gourmet Salads.

I've discovered our local Italian shop

makes gourmet salads. I LOVE salads

that are layered and have a variety of

ingredients. So scrumptious! This one

has been my favorite so far ~ mixed

greens, blueberries, strawberries, and

blackberries, walnuts and feta cheese,

along with a balsamic vinaigrette. Love!

Snowed In.

As predicted by the many weather guys,

we were hit with our first real blast of

Winter. And it was big! Thankfully, in

our region, we just got tons of snow.

Some areas had power outages and wind

storms too. We prepared to as soon as we

heard the news, only going in to town on

Friday to meet a client, and got groceries.

Then we came home and settled in for

the next few days. The snow started on

Friday, continued all thru the night and

then all day and night on Saturday too.

It ended late last night but then did add

in a few more bits today. We've stayed

in, except to go out to shovel the very

light fluffy snow. Later in the day on

Saturday, our sweet neighbor came to

clear our driveway so we don't get stuck

in the snow. He did the lane too and it

makes it so much easier in the Winter.

We thanked him with ale and freshly

baked cookies that had just come out

of the oven. Truly, they are the best

family ever to have as neighbors! It

is not just because he has a tractor

but because they have been out here

longer and have so much experience.

We are so thankful for their kindness.

Have you been snowed in yet?

Getting Ready.

We're getting ready to open our new centre and it

feels like it's turning into a very cozy place. I'm so

excited to get past the construction and into the work.

Soon we'll have littles running around and happy parents!

Hello November.

Our landscape is cold now and snow has come

and gone but will soon arrive with a force and

stay until Spring. It's such a pretty view, even

though I don't like the cold. Hello November!
