Family Day

Wide Open Spaces

Work in Paint, Thread, Wool & Silk

Yesterday was Family Day here in the freezing province of Ontario which means a "holiday".  We spent it just hanging out...... I wore my favourite socks of all time in honour of the day...

As the boyfriend is still here,  we took him for a tour around the village which took all of about 10 minutes door to door, which was absolutely fine with me cause it was bitter cold.  I told Holly that when the wind blew it felt as if I was being stabbed repeatedly with a hundred extra sharp icicles.  She laughed and then quickly realized it was me that was making her laugh and returned to her normal eye rolling technique instead.

All in all a great "family day"....and ain't young love grand....

Happy Belated V Day

Sunday morning the girls and I woke up to heart shaped strawberry pancakes with our names artfully spelled out in chocolate.......courtesy of John.  Delicious?? of course and quite "sweet" both in the sugary way as well as the sentimental.   Having said that,  John and I are not over the top Valentine's Day people mostly because I'm of the belief that February 14th shouldn't be the only day your kind, loving and generous to your significiant other.  A little bit everyday goes a long way.  I can say that with some authority having been married for over 20 years and still going....


On Monday which was a holiday here aptly named "Family Day",  my sister in law and brother in law invited us up to their cottage on Georgian Bay for lunch and a friendly game of hockey.
