I planned on posting this earlier today, BUT, take one loose rug, add one clumsy person (moi) and one cup of coffee just as I'm ready to sit down at the computer, and yes, you guessed it......dumped coffee all over my keyboard.
Nothing was working four hours ago, but just got back on now and everything seems to be back to normal - whew!!!
Yesterday we drove into 'the city' (Toronto) to visit our girls, Nicole and Keara. We were looking forward to seeing both girls as it has been several weeks and we also wanted to meet Nicole's new little kitty Edward.
Nicole has a date for her surgery - this Thursday at 9:30 a.m. at Princess Margaret Hospital. Please keep those good thoughts coming!
Just before getting into Toronto we pass under this old bridge, which Keara ever since she was little, has called the "Big Pants Bridge".
I guess in a child's eyes, it could look like a pair of
pants, but she is now 23! I'm also beginning to think she is rather quirky about big pants because on her table was this.......
Mr. Salt 'n Pants
We had a lovely dinner, Honey Dijon Apple Chicken and Veggies and super delicious Squash soup to start. I always envy some of the food pics that I see people post on their blogs. Most of them end up making me very hungry. Thought I would do the same, but when I was taking the pic, Nicole told me that meals like this don't translate that well in images - they can very easily look like puke. (She is so eloquent, and unfortunately, she is right LOL).
It may not look it, but it was yummy!
On Saturday I had planned on working on the two Kindreds I have on the go, and also maybe starting my little Fall faerie. Instead I decided to play with a couple mashed up balls of aluminum foil (one was for a head, not sure what plans I had for the second one) and some wire.
I added some clay and this is what I ended up with...
and here he is 'baked' and partially painted....
I think I'm going to do something pumpkin themed with him/her, and hope to work on him/her tonight.
Hope everyone has had a great day!

It's nice that Nicole has a new kitty to keep her company as well, what a cutie he is!
