Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We had visitors from Ontario staying with us for a week & upon leaving they gifted us with this wonderful decor turkey!

I called it Tommy the Turkey, looks great in the bay window. He was on the porch but the nights were getting cool & the condensation was all over everything, so inside he came. lol

I didn't go all out with the decorating this year, just put up a few pieces.

Mostly fall leaves & harvest so far. Soon the turkey smell will be in the house as the stuffed turkey cooks. 

Peter & Joan enjoyed the walking trails & the shoreside walks that they took together. It was the very best weather that week & they couldn't have come at a better time to enjoy the sights of the northeast coast.

Bill & Peter brought up a 'sculpture piece of nature' for me, I love it, seaweed & all!

The weather was great & the green grass & colourful landscape was being showy for our guests.

I love how my potting shed's landscape has come to life around it. The mosquitoes were horrid in the month of September, chasing us inside from their attacks on us! With several cooler nights, their number went noticeably down!

Bridget & Baxter enjoyed the company of Peter as he played stick with them & went for walks with Bill & truck rides to get the mail too, Peter was part of their pack. lol

My rug is done! I may change out the darker selvage pieces for a few string pieces that were left. The material was really close to running out!

With this, many sleeps...I have so much sewing to do!!

Bill & I went to see Jimmy the Janitor a stand-up comedian with Peter & Joan, Don & Christine, & Nick & Leslie. It was a fun 90-minute show.

I had never seen him in person, we had his cassette tapes from back in the '90s when we were in the maritime with the two young boys...his show is adult content now & Nick enjoyed him.

I've been trying to get myself in a better state of wellness & have started back to the exercise classes twice a week with strength & cardio. This week my girlfriend Deb, my bike partner...talked me into an Aqua Fitnessness class that lasted 55 minutes. Those who know me know I DON'T do water, well I don't know me because I did & I loved it. It was terrifying at first, I had a floatation belt put on & going down the ramp the water got deeper & my breathing stopped. Deb was so patient with me & told me to hold the handle on the ramp as we made our way to the 4ft area. I'm 5'2" so the water seemed very close.

Once the music started & we were all moving it was wonderful on these aching arthritic joints and after 55 minutes I felt like a new person, the pain was gone, it felt wonderful. The pain did come back but the memory of the Aqua Fitness class will have me going back next week.

It's like that saying "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" Life just keeps surprising me. 

Last night my stove's circuit board went...again. & this is our second stove since the kitchen remodel in 2017. 

With Thanksgiving weekend starting it is a happy thing that Nick & Leslie didn't want their old stove in their remodelled kitchen & Bill stored their old stove in our shop. That is the stove that will cook our Thanksgiving Day turkey. And writing this just reminded me to take the turkey out of the freezer & place it in the fridge! Done!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thank you for stopping in & I hope you have a wonderful weekend wherever you are. xXx

Hugs,
