Once upon a time, there were three young women who just happened to quite enjoy dressing up.
Upon all Hallows Eve, two fairies and Belle skipped down the street.
Upon their travels....
The first fell in love with pumpkins and all things orange.
The second fancied words. Even words like un chat noir and une citrouille.
And the third took a liking to all things sprinkled with pixie dust, including her kitty, Lilo, in her Halloween-winged-costume.
I've been wanting to post something about my experience of Remembrance Day this year. I had the opportunity to be at home on November, 11th. It was wonderful. I loved wearing my poppy. I loved racing to all the wonderful ceremonies with my mama and sister throughout the day until we arrived with hot chocolate in our basement...watching the wonderful coverage from Ottawa on that special day. I loved a certain thing I heard that day, "Silence is must louder than words...we wear our poppies proudly with the determination to continue our quest until everyone can enjoy freedom as we do."
Later this week we got to see Sierra Noble, an amazing singer from Winnipeg. She said something very special to us about pure love. It is the type of love when a complete strangers will smile at one another...the type of love that goes straight and directly into the heart. I think this is truly what Remembrance Day is all about. It's something beautiful and sacred to an entire nation, both young and old and it makes me want to wear my poppy all year long.

Oh, how I love birthday parties. Especially when I am the head detective and get to wear a fun costume with a pencil in my hair. And really red lipstick.
But to tell you the truth, I really don't like mysteries....or anything that may be a tad scary...I watched a horribly scary movie on Halloween night. Luckily, my dear mother let me join her for a day of errands the following day because I was oh so scared to be alone! It was lovely to be with her.
So, mysteries-from now on they are out unless their not too scary. Birthday Parties-forever and always in.
Can't wait for my 85th. Pearl white hair and birthday hats coming your way. :)
