Christmas Bazaar!











Good Evening!

Am now home! So nice to be home for the night!

This morning was a bit of a whirl; as there were tids of the unexpected, happening. Glad I was going out with my very good friend to a Christmas Bazaar and lunch; Alan was left to man our business; and to peruse the tidbits of financial information, that is still incomplete.

It was wonderful to attend the Christmas Fair; today was its opening day; and surprisingly, it was not jam packed! Most likely, the traffic will pick up later in the subsequent hours, and over the next tid days! My friend found some impressive "sticky" doodad bittids for their windows, and I ended up being tempted by bits of goodies in the 'Coach House', Bakery section! LOL! I left with a tidbitz of canned preserves; and 2 packages of "Split Pea Soup". Also, invested in a couple of books that did a bittidz on "Women Leaders", who served on / led the auxiliary committees / boards over the years; as well as the history of the old monied family, that built and lived in this magnificent colonial mansion, with classic and elegantly simple "Greek" columns, and lush gardens. "Tara" comes to mind, from "Gone With the Wind". It is also the 100th year anniversary of the 'Womens' Organization'. Have been to many a wedding, fun parties, and events in that Edwardian house of heritage antiques. Across the busy street out front, exists a huge apartment building; well, that used to be the family's bittidical vegetable patch! Can you imagine that as a piece of tidbitical?

Our next door neighbour was also at the Bazaar. We are looking forward to inviting them over for some tid appies and drinks in the next bit. At least they do not have far to walk! LOL!

I was able to pick up a couple of business cards. ie One re: the mentally handicapped; and the other, re: a garden shop. The baby / children knits, as in booties, sweaters, etc and Christmas decorations were quite awesome; you would not know that the clothing and other bit items were made by these challenged people. I say good on them! The other had beautiful floral arrangements and Christmas topiaries; one exquisite topiary, I "fell in love with". Did not even glance at the price; however, if I win a lotto, I know I will pay that shop a tid visit!

It is American Thanksgiving today. Once again, "Happy Thanksgiving" to all those who are celebrating this special day! I have re borrowed the photo image of the turkey! It looks sooooooo good! Christmas will soon be here!

When I returned home, there was our Blue, waiting for me, and happily wagging his tail, at the door! Remember the saying about how 'a dog is a man's best friend?' Well, he is our best buddy. Alan lit us a nice cosy fire; and, basically, the information requested by the lawyer for today, has not happened. Why does that, not surprise me? Hmmmmm. This continual lack of cooperation, is not boding well for all "those concerned!" "They" are just making things worse for themselves, by prolonging the inevitable.

Tidbit - A fun "outing" with a good friend, is special, and great for one's spirits. She and I barely 'scratched the surface'. We have agreed to get together more often!

Bittid - Appreciate your home! "Home is where the heart is!"

The other photo image you see, is of the gorgeous Manor, built in 1909; and completed in 1911. The Manor still retains its elegance and gracious style today; eventhough, there are now developments, such as apartments and busy roads, on what used to be gardens in abundance!

It is very cold outside; so I think tonight, we will turn up the heat a wee bit. Plus, we will be snuggling a tid in our bed; and enjoying a profound movie.

Good Night and God Bless.
