| On the weekend Friends, Ella and Heather and I went for a very long walk in the university area to check out the beautiful scenic views. We enjoyed the FALL beauty as well as our good visit and fabulous warm weather… a FUN day! |
 |
| Just some of the views we saw while the trees begin to change to to FALL colours… so pretty! |
 |
| We stopped for a yummy little coffee break at this funky place along our walk… "D'Lish"… I had a yummy hazel nut latte… we enjoyed the the indoor decor as well as the sunshine outside where we drank our beverages… Thanks to Ella for treating! |
 |
| I have so many memories of this house , which we passed on our big walk. This is where my mom grew up… and I have fond memories of going here to see my grandparents as I grew up. I think my Grandparents took better care of their yard when they lived there, though! (one day I'd love to see the inside of this house again!) |
 |
| Saturday night we had the grandkids for a sleepover … We also shared a fun supper at BP… where Beau was a bit full of beans! |
 |
| Mariah likes to watch shows on her grandpa's iPad… she also had a chance to practice her tap… as well as walk the dog… and colour, too. Mariah is so good with Shuffle… she even got her in her little coat for the walk. |
 |
| Beau is always hungry… snacking non stop… He must be on a growth spurt! He wanted to be a part of the dog walk as well… so he ran to catch up to Mariah! |
 |
| We did our weekly traditional breakfast at Fuddrucker's… We took the grandkids and had a fun group joining us as well. |
 |
| I could not get over what a difference a day made in our yard… The top pic is on friday…and bottom on saturday… with leaves scattered. Shuffle and I enjoy sitting out on the deck when ever we get the chance! |

| Yesterday I enjoyed a fun visit with my cousin Gwen on the deck. Brian thought we should have some carrot cake, but ended up with an oreo cheese cake instead, from Calories on Broadway… it was very sweet... Gwen and I had a little happy hour… sharing belinis and cheezies, too! I am sitting on my deck with my laptop as I write today's edition of my blog. I just love every chance I can get to be outside… as the fall leads us toward the cooler weather to come! I do LOVE FALL…. for so many reasons. It is so pretty and even when the weather is warm out… as it was the last few days and today… the air has a certain crispness to it, too. Shuffle loves it outside with me, too…and we have shared lots of hours just enjoying time together in the beautiful scenery and weather. We have managed to take lots of walks through the neighbourhood park lately, and the trees are spectacular there as well. I love a reason to just celebrate little things along the way in our day to day life. On the weekend… we enjoyed the grandkids for a sleepover while their parents went out to celebrate their daddy's birthday from last week. We watched a movie together in addition to many other little fun things. The kids are growing up so fast… fun going through all the stages with them. Saturday and today I made it to body vive at the gym… and am grateful for the great classes and instructors at Goodlife gym always. Theresa even played an all time favourite song… "SEPTEMBER" by Earth, Wind and Fire on Saturday… so fitting for fall and for the date we were on too! I shared a nice coffee visit with my buddy, Ella at her house after saturday's gym class, too. I loved the visit and walk I shared with my friends, Ella and Heather as well on Sunday. I am just so grateful for such good supportive friends… always! Although I do not see my cousin Gwen often… I do have fun with her whenever we can connect. She popped by here yesterday for a fabulous visit out on the deck in the sunshine. Time just flew by… as we sat out all afternoon. Today I am recalling this date 39 years ago when I became an auntie for the very first time to my nephew Brad. Since that date I have become an auntie 7 more times… with a total of 6 nephews and 2 nieces …all important to me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD! I am also remembering that on September 27th, 1973… I met my hubby, Brian, on a blind date!… I actually was introduced to him as "RAB"… which was a nick name he got from his friends in high school. Many of his friends and I still call him that, too. We have had such a fabulous life together since that date 41 years ago… people say "time flies when you are having FUN!" I am ever grateful for that date… and hope to share many more years together, too. Today I will pick up Mariah from school and take her to her dancing lessons. I have enjoyed practicing her tap with her lately… and to all you people who know TAP… she is getting pretty good at her TIME STEPS and BUFFALOES now! I am happy we have this special bond we can share together. I am such a proud grammie! I am still enjoying the TV shows I like to follow. I am thankful we have PVR, though as it is hard to keep up with it all as it happens. I find I can spin through the shows much faster when they are recorded, too. I just checked my iPhone to see the weather and as I write this blog… it is 24 degrees celcius… at 12:30 PM… which is a perfect temperature, if you ask me! No bugs… and sunny skies… who could ask for anything more? Thanks to anyone who pops by to read my blog from time to time… It is like my personal little journal of the fun and positive stuff going on my life, from week to week. Just writing it is like a form of therapy for me!!! Now I think I will take Shuffle for her walk before it gets to hot out for her. On that note… here is my rhyme of the day… I love FALL for many reasons… It is one of the prettiest seasons. I love the colours of the trees. The nice warm colours, sure do please. Lots more time to soak up sun… FALL is a time for lots more FUN! Shared with family and with friends, FALL's just filled with perfect blends! |
