THE MOON AND THE STARS ALIGNED LAST NIGHT!!!

Yes, it has finally happened.  Canadians have their beloved Liberals back in power.  What an amazing win it was las night for Prime Minister elect Justin Trudeau and our Liberal Party.  They won a whopping Majority government and ousted the , in power way too long, Conservative Party.

Having grown up in a political family, Justin, like his wonderful father Pierre, is just what Canada needs.  Charismatic, intellegent and politically savvy, it is like we can breath again.  Gone are the stale Conservative values and here to stay are the fresh, for the people Liberals.  All is right in Canada once again.

And bonus, the Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals last night.  Yes, it is great to be Canadian!

SUNDAY THOUGHT......

HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING!!

Today is our Canadian Thanksgiving!  We celebrated yesterday and it was lovely.

It was such a beautiful day!  The sun was shining and a nice breeze.  Our family came with our sweet babies , it was more of a Thanksgiving lunch, we at ate 3 which was actually quite nice.  We just relaxed the rest of the day and let our energizer bunnies entertain us.

I know it will get cooler here by then end of the week but today and yesterday it really does still feel like summer.  My little darling Quinn-Estelle left us an adorable chalk board art piece.

I took a break from the traditional Turkey dinner and although still a somewhat traditional fare I made some different recipies.  Here is our menu-

LEMON ROASTED CHICKENS
BREADED PORK CUTLETS
BAKED CAULIFLOWER (REALLY YUMMY)
SWEET POTATO/POTATO SCALLOPED POTATO CASSEROLE
ASSORTED STUFFED SQUASH
ASSORTED WILD MUSHROOMS
APPLE GALLETTE
LEMON MERINGUE PIE

 Everyone love the dinner expecially the stuffing a cauliflower.  I have never baked cauliflower but it was just delicious.

I hope you all have a wonderful Happy Thanksgiving.  I am now off to paint the new windows and tomorrow I will be decorating for Halloween.  Although I love to decorate I keep telling my husband one year I am going to just make a turkey with a santa hat, bunny ears carrying a jack o lantern and a valentine and just get it all over with at once.

TO THE ONE I LOVE.....

To my fabulous, loving husband.  You still make my heart flutter, you make me smile and laugh, and you have never tried to change my spirit....you love my hippie heart.

Happy Anniversary sweetie......it truly feels like it was just yesterday. XXXXXXXXX000000000

NEW THINGS IN MY ETSY SHOP LUCY'S GARDEN!

Here are my new signs just in at my Etsy Shop LUCY'S GARDEN.

I had a lot of fun doing these Halloween ones.  My camera is on the blink so they will look better when I get some new pictures of them, these don't show the lovely patina.

I love the colour combination in the antler and peace sign ones they turned out very beachy.

Please stop by and have a look.

HAPPINESS IS A MADE BED!!!

It is the little constants in life that keep you centred.  Those things you do everyday, sometimes you take them for granted.

For me, nothing makes me happier in the mornings than making my bed.  Tuckng in the sheets, fluffing the coverlet and plumping the pillows....simple bliss!

When I was around 7 years old my father starting working as an intern at a hospital.  He taught me how to make hospital corners.  I never forgot that and since I was around 7 I have made my bed with pride every morning. 

I just love the look of a nicely made bed.  So welcoming you just want to cuddle up in it.  I will sometimes fluff all the pillows around me and sit there and read, then neatly fix it again.  When I come upstairs I peak around the corner at my lovely bedroom and my nice bed and it just makes me happy.

It is just a simple thing but it is a wonderful thing to me.
