ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Brrrrr... the pool has a sheet of ice on top of it this morning! Husband woke me up with breakfast in bed this morning and a warm cup of tea. Truth be told this happens a few times a week but it's the best thing in the world to me.

I woke up to a few surprises this morning. L sent a few of our photos from the visit to Nova Scotia. They were taken at Shubie Park in the midst of Fall and they are BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you L- I love them.

The forecast is saying the Remembrance Day ceremonies will be filled with sunshine. Last year Steve and Connor went to London for the weekend and took part in the ceremonies in Green Park with family friends. This year we are meeting a friends who live in Westboro for the ceremonies and having a pot-luck lunch after. I like spending this holiday with friends, remembering, what a great day to come together and share.

Tonight we are bringing our favourite chefs from England to the dinner table. With all the left over Turkey it was evident that we would make Jamie's Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie and for dessert The Baker Brother's Get out of Trouble Chocolate Cake in individual sizes.   I haven't had either since we left England and I'm so excited to share these delightful finds with our friends. Denis and Darla are joining us for our English feast- she'll love the cake!

If you are wondering if we completed the list yesterday, we did! We found the downstairs furniture at Lazyboy . They are going to send a designer in to make sure everything will fit and more importantly look good- total bonus and since our original basement couch did not fit, this will save many headaches; come January we should be enjoying our basement family room.

 Winter boots ordered, Victoria booked for the holidays and a much deserved Island getaway booked. Steve also did all the touch up painting that was needed in the house. It's very impressive what you can do when you stop procrastinating and get on the bus. Thank you Steve for all your hard work yesterday, mwah!!

Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are. xoxox
