Happy Thanksgiving!

After a productive day café hopping in the neighbourhood and working on some exciting things with Miss K., I am taking this Saturday night to rest and to catch up on blogging.

To our fellow Canadians, Happy Thanksgiving!  Hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend!

Thanksgiving

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving weekend!  The weather here was amazing!  Wasn't expecting these 26 degree days in the Fall.  Was out too late on Friday and was also feeling run down from the my trip, so had a pretty relaxed Saturday and Sunday biking, checking out the waterfront and a farmer's market too and generally hanging in the sun.  My Sister and W. had us over for a nice Thanksgiving meal on Sunday.  Our family rarely does Thanksgiving as we are usually scattered about on this weekend and believe it or not this may have the first turkey in our family... ever.  (Usually it's roast beef, or worse -- rotisserie chicken at a restaurant!)

Today I strolled through the mall and saw the sticky note tribute to Steve Jobs.  Amazing to think of how much one man can accomplish.  I like the notes that read "Heaven just needed a new CEO."

Goodnight!  

Waterfront

This is post is out of order, but here are some snap happy pics from a waterfront visit over the unusually balmy part of the Thanksgiving weekend.

Apple picking

Today I went apple picking with Mrs. L-O. and her two little girls. I did get my apple picking fix after all. We had a lovely, yet chilly time out in the fresh air of the orchards. So nice to see some vivid Fall colours while we escaped the city. Got lots of pics with the camera and my new iPhone too. Hipstamatic is way too fun!

We came home with lots of apples! Think I will make an apple crumble or apple sauce! Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy the long weekend! Gobble gobble!

Thanksgiving weekend

I had a really nice Thanksgiving weekend and I hope you did too!

On Saturday I enjoyed a nice evening in Oakville with the family at my Aunt I. and Uncle E.'s house. They always put out a huge and delicious feast. Aunt I. makes the best chicken wings ever! I am still savouring them! It was great to see my Dad's three sisters together. And it was probably my last chance to see Aunts G. and E. before they head off again.

(These fruits were merely the toppings for the scrumptious post-feast Belgian waffles. So good...)

Then on Sunday I hitched a ride with A. up to G. and A.'s Mom and Stepdad's house in Collingwood for a true Thanksgiving turkey bonanza complete with all the trimmings including two types of stuffing.

My Friend was still in my bag from weeks ago when the Sis returned him to me, so he had a gander at the Village at Blue Mountain. Really could not resist.

Then today we headed home again. It was a quick visit! We picked up some honey crisp apples along the way. I am addicted to them... but one cannot OD on apples, right?
We also managed to track down the best tomatoes ever from this man that also sells the wood pictured above.

We drove through the scenic rolling hills of Airport Road as we headed back to the city to enjoy some good ol' Swiss Chalet dirty bird with G. and A.'s Dad and Stepmom. G. was also just back from Dublin, so it was a nice ending to a charming weekend full of good cheer, good company and thanks!

Oh yeah! I am convinced that my foot is half healed. I have been feeling better day by day and the road-rash on my knee seems to finally be improving. I have never needed so much sleep as I have of late, but perhaps this is because I am expending so much energy on the healing process.

I'm looking forward to a busy work week ahead and an appointment at the fracture clinic so I can find out what the heck is up with this foot!
