Nothing makes you more warm and cozy on a cold fall afternoon then a yummy bowl of apple crisp.
Then as it started getting dark out, we got ready for the big night. We thought we were going to have a nice night, because it had been nice through out the day. A little windy but nice.
So here she is in her costume, can't see the poodle but he is there some where under the folds of fabric. Notice the drops of rain there on the ground...that is only a hint of what was to come.
We went on our merry way collecting candies, after she put on her coat. We went to the 5 houses on our street that were actually giving out candy, which I find to be very sad.
We were about a block away when the wind kicked up and the rain started pouring down...I mean it was pouring down, like someone took a bucket and dumped it on us. I had all I could do to hold the umbrella down over her and hold onto my hood to keep it from blowing away.
We walked as fast as we could to where our community mailbox area was for shelter. I pulled out my cell phone and called my husband to come pick us up. I had no idea how long we were going to be stuck there.
He came to get us and we got home took off our wet clothes...we could literally wring them out, that's how wet they were. I stuck them all in the dryer and we put on some pj's and had hot chocolate while passing out candy to the brave souls that came to our door in that weather.
Just going to share one last picture with you...Here is our Frankie the Jack-o-Lantern in all his glory.
As we walked further into the trail we saw this group of trees that grew at an angle.
While she didn't finish in the top 10, she did finish 19th out of 58 girls...not bad for her first time, I think. She is happy!
There school did really well in the run, taking home 12 of the 19 medals...Way to go!!
Today we are celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving at my house. Since living in Canada, I thought it was only natural to celebrate this holiday as well as the American Thanksgiving...I mean how could I pass up the opportunity to eat a delicious turkey dinner.
I have my cheesecake baking in the oven and in a few short hours the bird is going in as well. There is just something about the smell of turkey cooking that makes my mouth water.
I just want to take moment to say I am so very thankful for family and friends...with out you, I would be a mess!
