Kind of Funny

Husband M and I celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary today. It is also the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend.

I took my mom for some lab tests recently. She has some memory loss. The X-ray guy was asking her 'Are you Elfreda?' and mom wasn't answering. I came into the room and she says to me quite seriously 'who is Elfreda?'  I said to him 'That's her middle name, she is Doreen!  Problem solved.  It was kind of funny.

It was raining one early morning and I took these shots of wet leaves on the pavement for you:

Paint Party Friday - Rosehip

It is the Canadian Thanksgiving Long Weekend.  

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! Thanks to Eva and Kristin for always hosting. I did a greeting card in watercolour pencil and crayon inspired by a rosehip bush that was still blooming in the neighbourhood a few weeks ago.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

It's a long weekend in Canada in most of the provinces. Families gather usually on Sunday or Monday and eat lavish meals with the turkey being the centrepiece.
We gathered with husband M's extended family yesterday. It was fun to see all the new babies in the family. I ate a bit too much.
