We had a great time with the grands. They, on the other hand, were fighting colds which wasn't fun for them.

Grandson did enjoy discovering his Dad's toys from days gone by. Why haul them out when this is easier?

We had a wonderful time on Sunday supper with my brother and his family joining us. So we had my 92 yearold Mom at one end of the age spectrum and a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and 2 one year olds at the other end of the age span. It was fun watching the kids play either together or around each other. AND it was enjoyable watching the parents do the running after them. Been there, done that!

Our son had an interesting experience on the way home. He and the kids got to play in the traffic on a very busy highway (400 for those who know Ontario free ways). An accident closed the south bound traffic for over an hour. So what else do you do with antsy kids? You play in the traffic. Didn't you always want to tell your kids to do that???

Wednesday the 10th I had fun working for Elections Ontario - provincial elections. A long day but made fun by having a great crew to work with.

Then we woke up to this on Friday morning (Oct.12th):

And it kept coming down ALL DAY. How horrid. It isn't even the middle of the month yet. While I watched it blowing around I would hear how warm it was in southern Ontario. And how much warmer it was at James Bay much nearer the Arctic Circle than we are. Go figure!

Today it is finally melting. FINALLY! Slowly.

Grands still recovering from colds (& teething for the youngest) but that, too, shall pass. Son back into the books after having a 4 day break, his first since starting his MBA studies May 1st. Other son is preparing for a road trip to Nova Scotia with my Mom. Nice for both of them (me jealous!)

This photo was taken at 7.30 am so forgive them if they don't look too perky. Eldest son is in the coat. (but hidden behind stuff on tv.com. I discovered if you scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "View all my Blogs" you will see the whole photo. Just a suggestion.)

Until next time, this is Peggy's Printing Paused to Pursue other Projects

It's me, Peggy
