Remembrance Day 2013

It's Remembrance Day in Canada today, lest we forget.  Some employers such as banks give employees the day off.  Many people wear red poppies on their coat lapels in honour of the occasion.  The plastic poppies are sold by veterans at this time of year.

**************************
My daughter L visited this weekend from school.  We likely won't see her again until the Christmas holidays.  It was so good to spend some quality time with her. 

I received a letter in the mail last week, it contained some stickers.  But I noticed it was neatly cut open at one side and you can see the stickers almost falling out.  Fortunately all the stickers were still inside.  Well, my friend thinks it may have gone to the wrong address and the person may have opened it, but I am skeptical as we approach the Chrismas season.

Sorry about your letter, I have had that happen a lot with things sent from Mexico - sometimes just empty envelopes came! Valerie

Maybe it wasn't glued well and it opened by mistake? Well, at least everything was still intact in the envelope!

I get letters like this sometimes. Makes me a little wary!!

I once opened a business envelope by mistake, when I did not look at the address carefully. When I realized it, I gave it back to the mailman in a plastic Ziploc bag.

oh, we also experience some "mail" dilemmas around here. recently, boxes with goodies sent from other countries are the targets of these couriers... very bad. :(

Yes, all the Federal institutions are closed today. Military tradition and all, methinks. They're trying to convince all the provinces and territories to do that, but haven't!
I like that the kids are all in school, our assemblies are always fine ones.
