A Moment of Serenity

The light on Cape Cod is magical and creates a never-ending change of rich colors. 
I find it so peaceful.


Happy Wednesday, Friends.

TW wants to know...


What are your pet peeves? We all have them. Here are a few from the current trio of bloggers. The challenge is to match each peeve with the person who submitted it. We want to hear about your pet peeves as well so feel free to share.
Drum Roll please......



1)  When my feet are cold at night and I have to get up to put on socks.



2) Chin Hairs (two of us have this same peeve)



3) Warped grocery carts






4) Being kept on hold listening to bad music for what seems a lifetime






5) Spreading peanut butter and then putting the same knife in the jam





6) Not using a turn signal while driving





7) Trump voters (enough said)




8) New York Yankees' fans




9) Someone stealing your leftovers from the fridge!




10) Mouth noises

Cuteness

GJ has mentioned that her little kitty has become quite mischievous in recent days and keeps her on her toes. I am sure little Mo will give her some good material for future blog posts! 1SC pointed out that all species of babies have the ability to disrupt our daily lives, but the laughter and love they bring is so worth it. How true that is!



















Have a great Thursday 😊

Some Color To Get Us Over The Hump

Happy Hump Day!  

After last Wednesday's camels, I thought it would be nice to change it up this week and give you a spectacular fall sunset over Cape Cod Bay.


Have a wonderful day, Friends.

Laughter





No matter how bad things seem, I really do not want to forget to laugh. A little black kitty playing in a tube is good for some real belly laughs. And the look on Sweet Pea's face as she watches this tube moving across the floor is priceless.

Laughter really is good for the soul. ; )

Tongue twister Tuesday

                       
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?






I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish, but if you wish the wish
the witch wishes, I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.

Seventy seven benevolent elephants.


                                             
Six sleek swans swam swiftly southwards.




There was a fisherman named Fisher
who fished for some fish in a fissure.
Till a fish with a grin,
pulled the fisherman in.
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.





Have a good day!!

Thanksgiving- Oct. 8

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving.



By the time all of you have your Thanksgiving celebrations, we will have had a month and a half to recover from all that turkey, stuffing, fall veggies and pumpkin pie. Canadian Thanksgiving is always the second Monday in October but many families have their Thanksgiving meal on the Sunday. When we were in PEI, our neighbours had us over for Thanksgiving dinner on the Sunday. It was a real fall harvest meal.




And of course, Monday is FOOTBALL!! ALL DAY LONG.

Although both American and Canadian Thanksgiving is about family, food, and football, there are some differences other than just timing.

Canadian Thanksgiving has nothing to do with pilgrims or the Mayflower. Thanksgiving was originally an Indigenous ceremony.  Over time it became a celebration of the fall harvest.

I have noticed that American Thanksgiving seems to be an even bigger family deal than Christmas, but here in Canada that is not so. Although families get together it seems more low key. People are more likely to fly to be with family during Christmas or New Year.

Another big difference has to do with shopping. That wild Black Friday type shopping craze isn't an essential part of our Thanksgiving weekend. However, in the last few years we are beginning to have some nice Black Friday sales' events. Our biggest, craziest shopping day has always been right after Christmas on Boxing Day.

Thanksgiving has a special significance for our family. Shannon was born on Thanksgiving Monday 40 years ago today. I love that she chose Thanksgiving for her birthday.




At its core, Thanksgiving is about taking time to be grateful.

And then fighting like hell to keep the dark away...
