| One of my favourite things at Starbucks is their PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES. these are only out in October till around December. Above is also the pumpkin cookies at Starbucks, and PUMPKIN PIE from our supper at friend, Vern's last night. |
 |
| There is no limit to the amount of times I go for a little Starbucks latte in a week... here are two of those visits from this week... Wednesday with my cousin Gwen, and yesterday with my dance friend, Kristy. I am lucky to always run into some one who is willing to capture the moment for me, too! (imagine that?!) |
 |
| Friends and cousins add SPiCE to life! Here are my cousin Gwen and my neighbour Heather, wednesday at Michaels... and our friend, Vern last night when he had us for a delicious supper at his place... here he is serving up some pumpkin pie! |
 |
| I saw this cute little seasonal ornament at Winners when there with cousin Gwen on Wednesday... I took a photo of it to show Jana in case she might like it for her shoe store for the month of October! |
 |
| Yesterday Jana's shoes store partner, MELISSA, stopped by to drop off these Lillies along with some bagels, cream cheese, and Starbucks Coffees for Brian and me. Too bad we were not home when she came, but we so appreciate her very thoughtful gesture! THANK YOU MELISSA! |
 |
| Monday I picked up Mariah from school, and Beau from his daycare. It was a breezy day as you can see by these photos!!! The two kids spent some time crafting in the basement, too. |
 |
| Here is Mariah showing me her tricks on the monkey bars at her school when I got her monday! |
 |
| Wednesday Beau and his mommy came to take Brian for a little outing, while I was off to meet my cousin Gwen for a girlie bond! |
 |
| Wednesday night we were treated to supper by friends, Cindy and Steve at Original Joe's restaurant. Yesterday, Jana and I met dance friends from way back... one of Jana's duo partners, Christine, and her mom, Judy as well as another dance mom, Heather. We all had fun reminiscing! |
 |
| Monday night supper here with the grandkids... cheese and veggie pizza...and ginger ale! |
 |
| Last night after a delicious supper at friend, Vern's, we popped by Jana's house to check out the first night they spent in the newly installed hot tub. They were loving it! Since my last blog post, the weather has taken a drastic turn for the colder... so what better way to WARM things up than going for some nice HOT and SPICY drinks and meals with some of our many friends! I feel as though our lives have revolved around dining out a lot lately, but really... it is one of the things we have been able to enjoy together. I figure... life is short... so why not enjoy it with good food, friends, family and fun! I have been enjoying the TV reality shows as well in and around some of our other adventures. Wednesday I had a long over due get together with my cousin Gwen... we started at Starbucks, then did a little browse at Winners, then had a bagel at Great Canadian Bagel... followed by a trip out to Michael's where we were joined by my neighbour, Heather for lots of fun and good times. I honestly have dined out a lot this week, for some reason. Sometimes it just goes like that... but I do hope to reconnect with the gym tomorrow... and I will need to kick it up a notch at the Body Vive class I will go to with friend, Ella. Yesterday was a fun filled day from start to finish... I met friend Kristy in the morning for coffee, then some good old dance friends for lunch, and a delicous supper invite to our good friend, Vern's place, and a quick little drop in on the kids enjoying the first night of their hot tub. While we were out... we had the nicest drop off... Jana's store partner, Melissa, decided to drop off flowers, coffees and bagels for us. She was hoping to just surprise us... but unfortunately we were out when she stopped by. How thoughtful of her to think of us like that, though... she left the stuff on our steps for us to find when we got home. My social calendar continues to fill up day by day...and I live life in the moment doing the things I so enjoy to do. Tonight I will attend a little gathering at my dance friend, Brenda's to meet and greet dance teacher, Miss Cara's new baby girl, Olivia. She was born on August 10th. So from PUMPKIN SPICE to SUGAR & SPICE! Tomorrow after the gym I plan to attend the Woman's World at TCU with my sister in law, Bev. I am pretty sure we will stumble into some Pumpkin Spice lattes there somewhere! As mentioned in my previous blog post... there are many birthdays this month to celebrate, too... celebrations are the SPICE of life! On that note here is my rhyme of the day... I love a latte and I also love pie, So it is no wonder, really just why I... Seem to be going upward on the scale, The numbers are climbing higher, without fail! But truly with the calories that I consume, Things could be much worse... I presume. I make the most of my best, and least of my worst, And try to put love and happiness always first. Life is short, so enjoy everything, Each day is a blessing with all it can bring. So I use each chance for each pumpkin spice, I enjoy all the people who do stuff that's nice! I take many photos and document each day, I capture every memory along the way. I love my family and every friend... And savour every moment until the end! |
