Happy Halloween!! I was all excited about lots of kids coming to the door tonight but sadly not so many....the cold must have kept them away...they missed out on some good treats.

Here are a few kids from my neigbourhood:

                               Deuce was thinking of ways to steal their candy!

                                           Little Darth Vader

I felt bad, I thought they were cupcakes (I know... I love cupcakes) but they were actually mushrooms.

Gosh the kids are getting bigger and bigger each year, especially when they ask for beer instead of candy ;)


Guest photo from my Mom: My baby nephew Cruz - the little monster, such a cutie. Wish I could have seen him tonight.

Today was a very windy and rainy day and I couldn't warm up... I went to hockey at noon and then had soccer in the evening. It was absolutely miserable outside but when I entered the turf field it was so green and almost sunny - my mood was instantly lifted. Had to snap a photo before entering.

Sadly near the end of the game Laura and I collided and I busted up my ankle, I am sure I will be as good as new by the weekend. At least I better be, hobbling around is no fun... :(

Today was a great day! Had a happy kombucha tea with Kattie and Steven, went for lunch with my former work unit, Kattie surprised me with flowers and then to end the day our very last divadates.

 Kattie spoiled us with David's tea - so delicious!

 Out for lunch with my former work unit - love these guys!

 Kattie send me these gorgeous gerber daisies - she truly made my day :)

 Our very last divadates - sad after almost 4 years but we will still get together lots I am sure

Today we had a card and cupcakes to celebrate my Managers' birthday, it was a small gesture but she really appreciated it :)

Tonight I decided to stop into my little favourite thai spot to pick up takeout.  I haven't been there in a few months but they always remember me as I have really tried to get to know them when I go there.  Back when I worked in IT our team would go there every Wednesday for takeout.  They are amazing!

Anyways, Sai the owner is so wonderful, her "auntie" and "uncle" (sadly I don't know their names as that is how she refers to them) worked there with her and last year her uncle went back to Thailand as he was homesick.  I really liked him and he always remembered I liked a fork instead of chopsticks for my order. Although he couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak Thai I always made the extra effort to try to talk to him and interact with him.
His last day last year before he moved back to Thailand I made him a thai farewell card using google translator and brought him his favourite food: MacDonalds :)

Anyways recently he moved back to PEI and when I arrived tonight he had a little gift for me from Thailand. It really touched my heart.  Although we only communicated and understood a few words since we have known each other due to our language barriers, we still managed to form a great friendship this past couple of years.

His gesture really made my day - hence a perfect photo of the day!! :)

A little change purse and jewellery box with two adorable little elephant candles in it

My friends Dee-Dee and Rhian went to New York a couple of weeks ago and brought me back these cute little souvenirs which was so sweet of them to think of me. Never been to NY but hopefully someday! :)

Thanks girls for being so thoughtful xo

Today I ran into my friend Jeremy, he really goes all out for Halloween :)  I didn't have my camera with me (1st time ever) so he sent me pics. These are his guest blog photos :)

And this is my photo of the day - since I must take at least one photo of the day for the challenge...

Then I came across this poor pumpkin tonight that got demolished, not sure why people think it is fun to do this to pumpkins....

Today GTEC finished at noon, went for coffee, then to a #goc3 meeting, lunch with @tabtalks and then went to pick up my friend at her work. I decided to stop by the Currency museum on the way there since I had a few minutes before I had to meet her. It was really neat!

Keynote address from Liseanne Forand, President Shared Services Canada

                                     Love this sweet statue on Sparks Street

The entryway to the Currency museum is all plants and fountains, very Green!

                                       Lots of Coins

This was a playing card that someone wrote good for four loaves of bread - back before $$ existed
