Happy Thanksgiving today - I hope you have been having a wonderful day and continue to enjoy this extra long weekend :)

Thinking of you

PS This is the closest I have to a picture of a Thanksgiving turkey.....a friend of mine has a DH who goes hunting and likes to display his catches on their wall...this turkey is above the heating vent in their family room and when the heating is on, the wings flap :) tasteful huh???? lol! All I can say is she must really love him ;)

Not even December...

Chris has changed the ring of our telephones in the house from a normal phone ring to 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'...so every time someone calls I hear this tinny Christmas music coming from somewhere (normally under a cushion or chair or in a toy box etc lol)

It's driving me nuts already and its only been a couple of days....

But then at other times - when it clicks that its actually the phone ringing, it makes me laugh.....

OMG.....

You know.....sometimes I wonder how people get the ideas and thoughts they have...I know we are all free to have our own thoughts and minds but sometimes I wonder how people can be so closed minded and so judgmental of others.....todays topic in Current Events....it just saddens me....I am not going to get involved in that conversation on there but I am STUNNED by some of the thoughts people have on the subject.....

My thoughts? My heart goes out to that poor man who was obviously very distressed and scared....who didn't speak a word of English...who thought he was coming to a wonderful new life in Canada...who just wanted to see his Mom......who had arranged to meet her by the suitcase carousels....

10 hours TEN HOURS he was left there - his Mom the other side of glass doors kept asking for help and information and no one helped her.....the man was left alone ignored for soooo long and no one thought to get a translator on the phone, to get help or try to help with his distress.....

Its disgusting and very VERY sad and too late to make amends.....

I know everyone is free to see this story in their own way but my own opinion is that this family was let down by Canada in a VERY big way :( Canada should be ashamed. I know I am!

The new tank...

Lloyd will fit the filter thingies tonight but at least they have more room to swim and grow and more oxygen to breath....our water is very VERY salty...we have to have a distiller to clean some of the water to make it drinkable and although its drinkable, it seems to have very little oxygen left in it and poor Goldie can't breathe!!! Hopefully things will improve now and Goldie will live for a long time!!! We got him in February so we've had him for 9 months!

My miracle fish Goldie :)

Back from the brink of death again :)

Please welcome Blob!!!!

Here is our new little fishy Blob (aka Goldie2). he seems to have settled in well :)

Wednesdays sunset...

Thursday

I have a meeting tonight to go to.....boooooring!!!! But for today we are staying home. I washed all the floors, cleaned the mudroom, did some laundry, tidied upstairs.....filled up the new fish tank and ut the fish in........made lunch....Sam and Abby made fruitloop necklaces.......they played on the computer together while I did the floors...

So yes, not much happening here! I think we are going to wrap up and head down to the mailbox for a walk and some fresh air......maybe we will walk over to the horses...

Lloyd went to work in his suit today...everyone asked if he had an interview and were all worried he was going to leave ;) Actually he was just doing some MAJOR networking over lunch...he looks good in his suit :) he didn't get a jacket last night....couldn't find one at South Ed Common so he's going to try Holt Renfrew downtown instead.....

We didn't do much shopping after all last night - we went to Joeys Global for dinner and then went to the pet store to get a bigger fish tank with oxygen filter thingy for Goldie - and ended up buying a new fish - it's the weirdest looking goldfish ever - it looks like a marble with fins!! just round and tiny and kind of wiggles as it swims :) so we have named it 'Blob' although Sam seems to think it is his and has called it 'Goldie'....lol...so original! :)

We got home around 9pm....oh we did stop off at Scholars Choice and Lloyd bought another big pack of playfoam - he dished it out at work this morning and told everyone they had to mold it into an animal and the person who creates the best animal gets more work as their prize because obviously they have too much time on their hands :) nonetheless, they all rushed over to get their playfoam :) too funny!

I got through my big coffee very fast this morning - I think I need some more now.

Lloyd is finishing work early today as we have an electrician coming over to give us a price on some work.

Then lasagna and garlic bread and salad for dinner before I have to go to this meeting - I'm tempted to say I have to be home by 8pm - so I can leave early......I'm tired.

I have sunset pictures from last night to post.....

I think we are going to make Gak this afternoon...
