The day before Halloween and more


Here is one of the highlights of my walks. It's a small coke froster ($1.47). Did I mention how therapeutic walks can be? Especially on a gorgeous day like today.

I brought the pumpkin into the kitchen so we can carve it tonight.

My nephew is making a short visit from Florida this weekend, so it will be nice to see him, it's been a couple of years since we saw him last. He's a big boy of 20 years old now.

L taught me a lot about the first World War last night as she studied for her History test. It started from one small incident and became a world war within a short time due to various alliances between countries. And we became aware of how history repeats itself. It was also interesting to learn of Canada's role in it and of the life changing impacts of war. She is not very hopeful for her generation as we destroy our environment and fail to keep the peace. It seems the baby boomers are the lucky ones having lived in a golden age of prosperity.
