Thankful

It was Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and we spent it giving thanks for what we have and how fortunate we have been over the years.

Trail walking

We hosted this year and are thankful for out-of-town family who made the trip up. There was good conversation and delicious food, a playful baby, happy dogs, walks in the park, drinks on the deck, and late-night catch-ups around the table.

After a tough year, we all have our health and happiness, and, for that, we are all thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian readers and a good fall morning to everyone else!

Turkey, and Worms In The Pool

Thank heavens for time-saving Thanksgiving turkey dinner leftovers! We spent tonight skimming and vacuuming leaves and worms out of the pool. And an equal amount of time wondering how worms end up in the pool exactly - are they crawling along the pool surround and fall in...do birds drop them? Where exactly do they come from, and particularly in the quantities we had?

Now we're thrilled and very lucky to have a pool to clean, and we like worms as much as the next person, but this was gross.

Anyway, the pool is now skimmed, vacuumed, and covered for the night. Tomorrow we repeat, and maybe Thursday, Friday, and Saturday too, until our pool closing tutorial with the previous owner on Sunday.

Thank heavens for kind previous owners too.

Resurfacing

Just a quick post to say that we're slowly resurfacing!

We are in the new house, and connected to the world by phone and internet again!

The move was almost seamless and we're just trying to settle in a bit. Progress is good on the unpacking front - it certainly feels like home - and now it's starting to look like it too!

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian readers!
