Poetry news

I just received another notification that I will now have THREE poems published in the book "Immortal Verses" due to be out in January. So that is awesome. It is blustery and cold and feels like time is flying by so quickly. I'm doing well at work as always and Dan is out of town again. He was able to come home most nights this week, but he is gone tonight and I already miss him. (such a sap I am) I am missing my family, hope everyone is well. I would like to see everyone soon. Pictures will be posted tonight, PROMISE!!!

After that

This weekend we had Kassy and we went shopping. Since Dan's mom moved out we wanted to get our little home more cozy. So we got some necessities like a swiffer and a dish rack that doesn't fall over, and some pretty stuff like a vase and some dried asian reeds to put in it, some new dishes a rug. Then we got Kassy some clothes and me a snow boarder suit because Dan is apparently taking me skiing for my birthday. We found one that was almost $200 cheaper than anywhere else we had looked so we got lucky. I can't wait to freeze and fall on my butt. HA! We also found Dan a bicycle at a yard sale that we got him and he's gonna fix up, he wants me to get one to but I think we may wait till next spring for that buy.
I have pictures of our new stuff so I will put them up when I get home tonight. Other than that Kassy and I played chess and she's pretty good for a little girl while Dan watched his UFC. Nice quiet weekend and now back to work for the week.

Another Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving everyone. I hope you all enjoyed a good Canadian thanksgiving. I know it's weird that's it's in October I'm still not used to it living in the States and having it in November.



Dan and I didn't really have a dinner with family or anything because his grandfather passed away this weekend. We did take a walk and ate a nice meal out just the two of us and it was sweet. We are definitely sad to have lost his grandfather. He was 89 years old and had been a farmer and had worked hard his whole life. He had recently broken his hip and hadn't been able to work out in the fields which frustrated him, he then came down with pneumonia which took it's toll on him and he eventually let go. We are going to the funeral tomorrow in Brockville.
So please pray for Dan as he is upset about this loss.

I will be uploading pics this weekend I promise, some with our pumpkin carvings as well. Oh and Dan's mom moved out..YIPPEE! We have really enjoyed this last week with our privacy reinstated, we have forgotten how lovely it is to be a couple alone in our home. Awesome.
