White Crap.....

This is just what I found when I opened my back door to let Baxter out.... snow covering my gorgeous in full bloom herb garden!!

"Leaving on a jet plane........

don't know when I'll be back again." Remember that old song from John Denver? Well, that was my 26 year old daughter Morgan yesterday. She boarded a plane to relocate to Calgary, Alberta (4 hour plane ride away from us) to continue her career as a Chef and to have new adventures. I sure am going to miss that girl of mine.

Halloween.........

Baxter hopes you all had a fun Halloween!

WOW........ 29 years!!!

Today is Allan and my 29th Wedding Anniversary! How time flies!! We have been very blessed throughout our years, especially with our 2 wonderful children. I have been very blessed with such a wonderful man!! You name it, he does it! My Mother says I am very spoiled, and yes I agree. Not many men will work full-time, garden like crazy, cook, clean, laundry and still have fun times with their wives. LOL
I love you with all my heart Allan....... for infinity and beyond!!

Thanksgiving.....

This past Monday we celebrated Thanksgiving...... for my American friends that is when Canada celebrates it. Morgan and Taylor both came down from Toronto and spent 2 days at home. Since Sunday was also my birthday! Morgan actually surprised me by showing up on Sunday, as I didn't expect her till Monday. Taylor also brought his new girlfriend Jennifer, who we met for the first time. We really liked her and Taylor is soooo happy! :-)
So we enjoyed the turkey with all the fixings and had a wonderful time together. I am so thankful for my wonderful family and am truly blessed with 2 gorgeous, wonderful children and a fabulous, loving husband!
Here's a couple pictures to share from that day...........

My Brother Kevin.........

I just got this great picture of my Mom and my brother Kevin.... thought I would post it and talk some about him......
Kevin is 6 years older than I am and has been married for 30 years to Laurel and they have a 25 year old son, Travis. Oh yeah, also Barley - their cute yellow lab. Kevin is a licensed Pro Golfer and now lives way up North in "cottage country" running a fabulous golf course/resort. Laurel and him have been there for about 2 years now... previous to that he has run a number of golf courses in the Niagara area. Kevin is the "strong silent" type. LOL A lot like my Father and like my son Taylor. In fact Taylor is a Poole through and through, just like Kevin and my Dad and my sister's son Matthew. I see a lot of similarities between the 4 of them. Anywho, the first picture is Mom and Kevin, the 2nd is of the lake that Kevin and Laurel live on. Just beautiful area. The last is at the 18th hole at his golf course with my sister Pam, and Mom.
