Father Christmas leading the parade at the end of the day:)
VictorianChristmas is also on today,
Sunday at the Halifax Citadel from 12-4pm. Crafts, caroling, cider,
history, lots to see and do:) These pics are from yesterday. My
daughter is having fun as a volunteer:)
Mani may now be the portliest Miao. He treats every meal like Thanksgiving Dinner and his nickname, "the Hearty Trencherman", has finally caught up with him. If all the other Miaos turn up their noses at brekkies, Mani will likely be the one to gobble everything up. I have trouble hefting him in one arm, but I can still manage.
... on my lap, sniffing roasting turkey aromas wafting from the kitchen.
I had a wake up call last week and it has stayed with me these last ten days.......
During a fitness class on a Wednesday morning, a charming woman whom I'd just said hello to for the first time, sat down suddenly, looking pale and a bit distressed. Her friends gathered round and put her in the recovery position. She was nauseated and had pain in her head. Soon paramedics arrived and she was taken to the hospital......... she died. It was a brain aneuryism.
I can't stop thinking that I witnessed her last good half hour on this earth. That morning when she got up she donned a cheery red t-shirt. She might have had dishes in the sink ready to finish when she got home, maybe she had to get ready for work, all plans that did not matter any more. We just don't know do we......... be grateful for every minute you have.
My dad was a physician and he used to say that life was really like a roulette wheel, you never know where the ball will land. People who look after themselves can go suddenly and those that abuse can live long lives. Live your life in moderation, do the best you can, and if you really want that cupcake, go for it.
Fun fun fun! Neville MacKay, Melanie and Gail, two of the gals on the Halifax Chicks BustaMove team, posing with our mascot and fearless leader....Richard Simmons! Thursday night there was a rally/info meeting for Bust a Move
at one of the local hotels and it was a great event. We even got a mini
preview of what to expect for those six hours in January, all of us
moovin and groovin to the beat. Zumba was the highlight. Actually,
winning a gift certificate to Lululemon was the highlight for me, I was
so surprised:)
Our team had been asked to come up and speak
about fundraising. What we have done so far and have planned for the
next two months to give people ideas about what they might do. Hope it
helped. I was nervous. People were just starting to arrive in this
picture.
It
ended early in the evening and I dashed over to Fred to see the
"Mystery Art Sale" for Adsum house. I was wondering if my picture had
sold. Evidently it was one of the first to go:) Yay. I hope they did
well. There were still quite a few people around when I got there.
