I'm so glad you could stop by. This is my personal blog of daily life and my journey through life. You will find a strong emphasis on family and friends as well as finding my ancestors through genealogy. Unlike my other blogs this blog is more of a catch-all so any topic is fair game.
We've all been there! Anyone who has driven anywhere can relate to...driving along the highway, happily discussing the fault of other drivers while admiring our own driving skills, noticing every traffic sign including the one that says left lane ends ahead a mile or more before the next warning...when out of the blue some inconsiderate, self-absorbed driver jams their vehicle in the barely are car length space you left between you and the driver ahead right where the lane ends. Hey, it happens all the time...
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, a day we honour those who have served our country and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to serve our country. Because of their sacrifice, we are free! We have the freedom to do as we in our beautiful country. We are blessed to be able to freely move about our country and travel outside our country. We are beyond blessed to live in a country of abundance that our veterans fought so hard for and continue to do so.
November in our little corner of Ontario, Canada is always dull and grey. It's rare that the sun peeks it's way through. November 11 quite often is very cold, rainy or snowing or threatening to do so. It is never is pleasant weather to be out in for things like Remembrance Day services. In perspective, our veterans had no choice whether or not they wanted to be out in the weather. They couldn't just say 'Hey sarge, I'm taking a sick day.' or 'I'm staying in because this weather will mess my hairdo.' or any number of excuses we, who live in a free country can come up with for not going to a Remembrance Day service. We are beyond blessed to have folks who serve our country proudly, unselfishly and so giving of themselves to make it a better place for all of us. There is no excuse not to attend a Remembrance Day service! Lest we forget...
I am a wife, mother and grandma who enjoys the many aspects of homemaking. A variety of interests and hobbies combined with travel keep me active. They reflect the importance of family, friends, home and good food.
