Breakfast for 11.......

Yesterday morning we met Val and some of her crew for breakfast....there were 11 of us in all and it was so much fun! Grace wasn't there which was a shame (especially as the girl overcharged us for everything!!!)

The 4 boys sat together at one table and the rest of us were at another.......it really was a great breakfast :)

This pic is from my cell phone so it isn't very clear...

Fire...

Edmontons largest ever fire is still burning.....a condo block (condoms as my Mom calls them lol) and 9 houses totally destroyed......and 18 others damaged.....

So many homeless families in a city that is already struggling with homelessness....

And the homes burned are townhomes....and I guess I should never assume but I am sure that many of them won't have contents insurance.....when finances are tight its the contents insurance that is often the first to get cancelled.......

Terribly sad........but thankfully no one died.....

The Illusionist......

What a FABULOUS movie......so passionate and so clever and I really didn't guess the ending at all...which is a sign of a great movie because I always seem to know how they will end!!!

I love Edward Norton - he seems to pick the movies he does really well and they are always so good - such a great actor!

I was sat on the bed reading last night and Lloyd started to watch The Illusionist...well within a couple of minutes I had put the book down and was GLUED to the tv watching the movie!

TOTALLY recommend this movie!
