The Pumpkin Patch

Some pictures I simply have to share!

Signing off....

Sending you a few photos that I was saving for posts closer to Oct 31st. 

However - and this is good news - I think I have figured out how my novel is suppose to end so I am going "underground" for a week or so to write about 80 pages.   Wish me luck!

From the heart,

Fall is in the air

We did have wonderful weather over the weekend didn't we?  Today is summer-like here in Toronto but I am having a good writing day so not much time outside.  A bit addictive when writing is going well - nothing gets me away from the computer. (Not saying that is a good thing - just a fact.)

And then there is Lexi in the Cheerios box on Sunday morning. This little girl is happy 24/7. She loves her food and having gone through years when James was her age and was such a picky eater it is a joy to watch her eat.  Sorry I did not get a pix of Jalen this trip - my bad!

Beaded Bling

My friend Kathy Service is in town visiting and she has brought some samples of her crystal Beaded Bling creations.

Decisions decisions - do I purchase all four bracelets above or one for now as shown on the left?

Oh well, I bought them all.  They are beautiful!  And, I love red.

From the heart,

Keeping in touch

With Dawn in blue, Dorothy in red and Maria standing behind me - I love spending time with fellow retirees from Bell Canada. We have so many memories to share and so much catching up to do each time we meet.

The smiles begin the second we recognize someone - like the handsome man from my Rouge Rive I&R days and the hockey player from our winning team who reminded me he was not actually part of my team - Oh Yes You Were!

One lady shared a memory of our four year old sons playing together at the office in Kingston on a Saturday when we all had to work. A man asked if I remembered him just by looking at him - you bet! (and I didn't cheat by looking at your name tag either.)

I am still smiling...

Have a gentle Thursday all.

From the heart,

Carol Ann

Did you watch the debate last evening?

If you watched the debate this will make sense. I love it!

Love You Out Loud

There are so many things I love about the Bell family. When we begin our first job, retirement is not even a blip in our mind. Today I get to have lunch and hang out with a couple hundred Bell pensioners - can't wait.

I love days like this.  Memories will be standing right in front of me!

From the heart,

Carol Ann
